Youd be hard pressed trying to find a lighter notebook than Toshibas Portege R600 (PPR61A-00400R), which weighs only 950 grams and is aimed at business users who regularly need to travel. Its a 12.1in laptop and its very thin, but it doesnt have cut-price parts running it: you still get an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 3GB of RAM and a 120GB solid-state drive. It runs Windows Vista (or Windows XP — you get to choose). The Intel Core 2 Duo U9400 runs at 1.4GHz and it is an Ultra Low Voltage CPU. Th...
