Hopefully the m500 can make it here at a reasonable price...]]>Nov 13th 2006 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/Nov 13th 2006 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/Nov 13th 2006 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/Nov 13th 2006 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/Nov 13th 2006 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/Nov 13th 2006 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/Nov 13th 2006 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/Nov 14th 2006 2:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/
BTW, T2250 is Core Duo, not Core 2 Duo]]>Nov 14th 2006 4:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/13/toshiba-kicks-out-sexy-new-portege-m500-ultraportable/http://203.56.127.51/topic/pdf/DOWNLOADS/BROCHURES/Toshiba_Portege_M500_Specification_Brochure_19.07.06.pdf.

What a great machine! So well built, and so fast. Like all Toshiba's, it is loaded with pointless software slowing the otherwise fast system down. I have installed Vista Ultimate, and it now runs like a dream.

It is fast, quiet and runs suprisingly cool, even when running with restricted airflow on my lap. I thought the fingerprint thingy was a bit of a gimick, but with Vista's drive encryption, it truely is now a secure system. The DVD-RAM drive is quick and quiet and the keyboard far more tactile than my last laptop.

I think the only critism is the battery life of about 2.5 hours, but with a machine this small and light, I don't think I can really complain.

Certainly the best laptop I've ever bought, and if you after something small, light and fast for a good price, you've found your new machine!

Highly recommended on all levels.]]>Mar 5th 2007 1:54AM
