  • Abstract:  The Toshiba Portege R705-P35 is an excellent choice in the thin-and-light category of laptops. It offers impressive performance and an equally impressive set of features. It's streamlined design is also another in a line of strong points for the laptop, making it hard to pass over when shopping for a new portable computer.

  • Disappointing keyboard and speakers, Subpar Webcam
  • Optical drives are rare in ultraportables, but this Portégé delivers one, plus Core i5 speed and excellent battery life, at a remarkable price. It's a boon for frequent travelers on tight budgets. ...

  • Great overall performance, Unique, refreshing design, Includes DVD burner, Spill-Resistant keyboard, Great value
  • LCD glare and viewing angle, Gets warm & slightly noisy in use, No USB 3.0, 5400RPM Hard Drive, Lackluster battery life
  • Toshiba's design team has really nailed the execution here. Finally, an ultraportable manufacturer has thought outside of the box. The magnesium alloy blue color scheme lets you know that this isn't "just another ultraportable" from the first glance. Unde...

  • We're quite fond of the Toshiba Portege R700: it's very slim, incredibly light, has an internal optical drive and a capable battery for just under a grand. Sweet. If you're looking for an ultralight among 13" models, the R700 stands out for value and ...
