The LED Laptop - Magnesium Alloy Casing in Blue Deals 2012

I've been looking at the Toshiba Portege series for quite a while, as I wanted a computer that is ultra lightweight and still has a built in optical drive. There aren't a lot of choices in that niche, and they tend to be a lot more expensive. But people still give me a fair amount of things in the form of DVDs or CDs, and I wanted to be able to use them without having to plug in an external drive.

I've only had this one a few days as yet (bought from Amazon at $799, oddly the price has gone up a bit since then). I was convinced to buy by the i5 processor update, the big 6 RAM update, the huge-capacity hard disk. I had been hesitating between this and the Z series one, without the built in drive and lighter, but ended up with this--for anyone who doesn't care about DVD/CD drive, the Z would be the way to go, the best bargain currently around, it looks to me, for a 2.4 lb computer.

I am completely happy with this machine so far. Nice feel, big screen compared to my former HP 10" netbook. I don't have any complaints except that the optical disk drive carriage does seem a bit flimsy--the plastic snap-on outer edge came off while I was making the Recovery Disks, and the whole thing feels a bit fragile; but at least edge bit did snap right back into place. While I've not yet tried this out with my portable printer, I also like that this machine has multiple USB ports (three, including a new 3.0 one) and ethernet port, in case I ever need that for a hotel. For reliably doing actual work while travelling, this is still, for me at least, a far better choice than a tablet or iPad, even with the add-on keyboard, because of the standard ports, SD card reader, and so on. (Though for trips when I'll only need a bit of email and web access, I'm waiting on the next, larger-screened Kindle Fire we've been told might be coming.)I notice that another reviewer spoke of a noisy fan. I do think that fans are one of those things that vary a lot between individual computers--I've had other laptops with loud ones--but this one, for me, is virtually silent.

Overall--nice keyboard, nice size, screen seems great for how I used it, and a truly fully loaded computer in a lightweight vehicle. So far I'm delighted every time I open the cover and use it. BIG leap upward from the 10" netbook I was using before--much faster processor and big RAM is making a difference even for normal use with the web, and the start-up after hibernation is pretty much instantaneous. It's nice to actually LIKE my computer again.

Initially i bought a lenovo from their official website but maybe due to black friday's high demand, they are extremely slow!! i waited it for about two weeks still no sign of shipping then started to look for other alternatives. and i saw this! The configuration is better than the lenovo one. i give speed and weight as my top priority. so this one perfectly fits me as it has i5 processor and its only as light as 3.2 pounds!!! so i made the fastest decision ever for electronic products, i immediately ordered it!
Plus only when i got it that i realize how good its battery life is!! (especially compared with my old HP laptop which can barely last for 2 hours) now its been about two weeks, averagely, an almost full charged battery can last for 6/7 easily. AMAZING!!
