Toshiba R600 Notebook Review

[corfroo]

I am getting a net book just for web surfing and taking it places

[fuzzy15946]

well its basically a good notebook and is one of the thinest note books in pc cases but if i had to choose between a toshiba r600 then mac book air i would cause it has way more ports has a way better battery life i believe and has basically anything a normal notebook has just compacked in a small mold, overall i think its a good travelling laptop not a everyday laptop cause it isnt super powerful but still good and punch a pack

[JOKEREXCLUSIVE]

There is no way in hell i would spend $3000 for that ugly designed laptop i don't care what hardware is on the inside of that laptop.

would this laptop run 3d modeling software without a problem, I would connect it to an 22 inch monitor.

@eduardolz31 probably not. it's not very powerful, it's more about portability and light weight

[jobicek]

Here in Europe the top model costs circa $2000 and both models have integrated 3G modem. Mac outside US and Canada is very pricey thing (13 inch macbook pro costs in Germany about $400 more than in US) and the support really sucks (almost no Apple stores and official service points are nowhere near the real thing).

And you pay for the portability. I have its predecessor R500 and 770g is just wonderful. Macbook Air is almost two times heavier.

For the price, I'd rather get the Alienware.

[KingSamLopez]

@mrmikerotch yeah.. but in 3 months when it dies. you'll be running back to toshiba.

[mrmikerotch]

@KingSamLopez I don't know, they've been doing better lately. Now that I think about, I'd go for that ThinkPad-Wacom-Huey-Dual-Scree­n thingy.

[eldodiaz]

Any one would be a complete idiot to pay $3000 for this laptop! Makes absolutely no sense.

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

yeah its nice looking notebook but too pricey

[ryanbycraft]

$3000. OMG, you should of got a Mac, and ran boot camp, would only be $2000 tops

[RichmanDEranGed]

is it good for a programmer/hacker for work?

[wwwgeekdotcom]

It's not super powerful, so maybe not. It would be more than fine for light work, but it's not exactly a workhorse.

[sangolt88]

People complained on fan noise of Toshiba R600. what about the unit you reviewed?

[wwwgeekdotcom]

yes it spins a lot. sort of comes with the territory.

[addeprin]

You can eliminate fan noise in Energy settings by clocking the cpu down

[R3dM1x]

Cool Laptop ,how much did it cost you?

[wwwgeekdotcom]

That R600 is $3000. Starts at $1999
