Title: Toshiba Portégé R500
Verdict: However, the R500 is temptingly decent value for money, and if the idea of working in the garden or next to a sunny window appeals, there's nothing else to match it.

Pros: Integrated optical drive at 2.4-pounds. 120GB hard drive. Sleek design. Full-size keyboard. Three USB ports. LED backlights.
