In an ocean of ultralight laptop choices, the Toshiba Portege R600 holds its own by squeezing lightning-quick guts into a body less than an inch thick. Besides its DVD SuperMulti drive, which stores twice as much as standard DVD, it’s outfitted with the world’s first 512GB Solid State Drive, the next generation of hard drive that has no moving parts to whirr and click and crash.
