The mysterious Toshiba Portege R600

We really pity the chap tasked to do a writeup on the latest Portege R600. How do you advertise a product without giving away a single piece of new information? Turns out the task was even simpler than we thought, as the Web page showcasing the R600 simply rehashes the benefits and features of the older R500 laptop.

What we could gather is that the Portege R600 is a 12.1-inch number with an integrated optical drive and an amazing battery life. Like its predecessor, it is ultraslim and light and decked out with the fourth-generation Toshiba EasyGuard technology. The latter is a proprietary application that controls the security of the machine as well as provides simple maintenance and troubleshooting. The main difference from the R500 would be its chipset, as the R600 is based on the new Centrino 2 platform. We'll keep you updated as more information comes in.
