According to Toshiba, its Portege R500-S5007V weighs in at only 2.4 pounds and is the lightest laptop with a 128GB SSD and DVD SuperMulti drive. The latest Portege from Toshiba is only 0.77 inches thick and maintains that by including a SSD and 7mm DVD SuperMulti drive that its travel weight is light because you won’t have to lug additional drives and cables. The configuration is pretty impressive and includes 8 hours of battery life, Vista Business with downgrade media to Windows XP professional, a 12.1 inch widescreen high brightness display and an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor U7700–1.33GHz, 2MB L2, 533MHz FSB with 64 bit architecture.
