Toshiba R500 Not Already Good Enough – Gets 3G Upgrade

Share      

If Toshiba does nothing else right, it makes a mean ultraportable. Take the R500, for instance, an under-2 lb. system with Core 2 Duo, up to 64GB SSD, all current Wi-Fi flavors, Bluetooth, and a lovely form factor in general. As if that wasn’t enough, Toshiba’s throwing in an HSDPA module (well, "throwing in" might be a stretch, I’m sure there’ll be a cost). Pricing is currently at $1,999, so not the world’s cheapest, but certainly reasonable for what must be one of the premier ultraportables currently being sold.
