New Toshiba Portégé laptops announced
There's an old trick in marketing for if you want your product to stand out: Give it a foreign sounding name. Häagen-Dazs did it, and even Matsui isn't a real electronics manufacturer - its just Dixon's own-brand that it tries to make sound Japanese. Hell, even terrorists do it. Al Qaeda sounds much more scary and mysterious than, say, "The IRA".
Toshiba knows this too, and have come up with some new laptops for their Portégé range. By the name, you'd think they were some sort of exclusive laptops perhaps available only in a Parisian boutique - the sort of shop that has a wooden floor and practically nothing on display, yet inexplicably stays in business - though all indications point to the laptops being available at PC World.
The Portégé R600 is Toshiba's attempt at doing the "world's thinnest and lightest" laptop, as it's only 1.18" thick and weighs 2.14Ibs - anyone care to dispute this claim? This laptop packs in a 12.1" LED-backlit screen, 2GB of RAM, a 128GB SSD or 160GB HDD, an Intel Core Duo ultra-low voltage processor and assuming the international banking system is still going by the time you want to buy one, it will set you back $2,399.
