Toshiba's R600 ultra-portable notebook improves on the previous generation by offering significantly longer battery life and a lighter chassis. While the previous R500 model weighed 2.4 pounds and could run for about three hours, the new base-model R600 weighs 2.4 pounds and manages to stay alive for up to eight hours. The machine features a Core 2 Duo 1.4 Ghz processor, 3 GB of memory, integrated graphics, a built-in optical drive, and a 12-inch 1280 x 800 transflective display that works well in both indoor and outdoor lighting. 

The R600 comes in two slightly different configurations: the R600-S4201 sports a 160 GB hard drive and starts at $2,099 while its more expensive sibling the R600-S4202 comes with a 128 GB SSD, starting at $2,999.
