Toshiba has introduced the Portege R700, the U.S version of the world's lightest 13.3-inch full-performance ultraportable laptop with an integrated DVD drive. The Portege R700 provides business users with unprecedented performance and durability in a highly mobile product with prices starting under $1,000.

With a starting weight of just three pounds and about one inch thin, the Portege R700 is able to support the latest Intel® Core family of full-powered processors as a result of new Airflow Cooling Technology. This innovative new cooling system co-developed by Toshiba and Intel uses directed streams of fresh air to cool the heat-generating components so business users can get the performance, mobility and longer battery life they need to stay productive on the go.

The Portege R700 also features a light, yet durable magnesium alloy casing reinforced with a new honeycomb rib design incorporated within the palm rests and base of the laptop. Similar to technology used in aerospace construction, this structural enhancement to the laptop provides increased rigidity and durability.

The laptop also features Toshiba's EasyGuard Technology, which helps protect the laptop from jolts, spills and theft. This includes added protection around system components, a Hard Drive Impact Sensor and spill-resistant keyboard as well as a host of software that continuously checks the performance and functionality of the system.

With an all-new sophisticated design that will turn heads in the boardroom, the Portege R700 features a 13.3-inch diagonal HD widescreen LED-backlit display, a premium raised tile keyboard and a wide TouchPad with customizable Multi-touch Control that makes typing and navigation easy and comfortable.

The Portege R700 also features a high-capacity six-cell battery with a battery life rating of up to 8.5 hours. An optional nine-cell battery that can remain on when docked will increase the battery life rating up to 12.5 hours.

The port replicator features a host of ports, including two ultrafast USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet as well as Line-In/Line-Out audio ports, HDMI, RGB and Serial connections.
