Toshiba Portégé R500-11Z Scores

Toshiba Portégé R500-11Z scored an 8/10 in a pocket-lint review. The notebook, an ultraportable, is described "as a great machine. It weighs just under 2.5lbs and there's a DVD rewriter built-in. The 12.1-inch screen is made with LED technology, which makes it brighter than most screens on compatible notebooks and also uses less power.

In the review, the keyboard is described as "comfortable." On the downside, the laptop is "not ideal for heavy tasks" because "Toshiba has had to opt for a low-voltage chip in order to fit in with the thermal dynamic of the case."
