    Just when you thought you were safe from the overwhelming spate of laptops we saw last week, Toshiba strikes again with the Portege A605. This notebook is based on the R500, but where the R500 measures .77-inches thick and weighs in at 2.4 pounds, the A605 is a relative behemoth at 1.18-inches thick and over 3 pounds. And unlike the R500 series, there are no SSD options available. Other than that, you get just what you'd expect: a 12.1-inch LED backlit screen, Core 2 Duo processor, 3GB of RAM, 250GB SATA hard drive, DVD burner, and the promise of almost seven hours of battery life. Prices start at $1,399, hit the read link for more info.

    Of all the Toshiba laptops we've seen today, this is certainly one of them. The M750 updates the M700 by changing up the processor (your choice of a 2.6GHz P8400 or 2.4GHz P8600 Intel Core 2 Duo), but besides that we have pretty much the same LED-backlit, touchscreen tablet: 160GB storage, 2GB memory, Intel 4500MHD graphics, Bluetooth and WiFi.
