Toshiba's new bounty is all but out there, but we've still got two more to bring you before the onslaught is over.

It just might.

[Alex @ Oct 14th 2008 11:26AM]

Is that a VGA port?? Who needs that these days? Can I get an internal 3.5" floppy drive, too?

[Jane @ Oct 14th 2008 11:35AM]

VGA is needed by many business users using projectors for presentations...duh

[Alexandre Emond @ Oct 14th 2008 4:14PM]

Also to use a second screen at the same time: dual display.

[pheer6224 @ Oct 14th 2008 1:49PM]

@alex, what have you been hitting this week?

You shouldn't huff gasoline, it's bad for your head.

"VGA is needed by many business users using projectors for presentations...duh"

I'm so tired of hearing that excuse. You can do the same thing with a DVI to VGA adapter cable. I do it with my macbook all the time and it 's mini-DVI jack.

[Alexandre Emond @ Oct 14th 2008 7:35PM]

@ Michael "DVI to VGA adapter"
Why do they include WIFI, Bluetooth and card reader? Because we HATE to carry adapters, keys and any external add-ons!
Add-ons are ok when they stay at the same place. NOT in my small document case where I put my Notebook with my paper documents.

Look at the VGA port on the first pic... Is that a decal?

Portege A600 or Protege A600

[blizz419 @ Oct 14th 2008 11:24AM]

Portege A600 or Protege A600

[mirakutea @ Oct 14th 2008 12:03PM]

3.2lbs.. might just be light enough for me :].

[pheer6224 @ Oct 14th 2008 1:46PM]

Looks curiously like the old averatec ultraportables.

[Tech @ Oct 14th 2008 3:02PM]

I don't like the quality and texture of plastic even on the higher end Toshiba laptops. Hope they get that fixed.

[Raj @ Oct 14th 2008 3:04PM]

And I wish they'd eliminate the strange position of the Windows key (upper right top of the keyboard) on some of their lower priced laptops.

[Mark @ Oct 16th 2008 12:54AM]

One thing that's missing from your blurb is that the Portege A600 has an optical drive at the weight of 3.2 lbs, which makes it very light and puts it in Thinkpad X300 territory.
