One thing that would drive me crazy about claims of 'thin' laptops is that most of them sucked. They would either not have a disc drive, lack serious horsepower or the screen would be the size of my cell phone display.
Not so with Toshiba's new entry!!!
The Portege R500 packs a first ever 7mm optical drive, 12.1-inch transflective (outdoor readable) LED-backlit screen, and does it all with a mere 0.77-inches of thickness, and a weight of 2.4 pounds. The R500 Core 2 duo U7600 1.2GHz processor, Intel GMA 950 graphics, up to 2GB of RAM, a 120GB HDD and a 1280 x 800 screen resolution. There's even a PCMCIA slot, gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth and VGA out.
The laptop starts at $2,000 with XP Pro, or $2,150 with Vista Business.

Toshiba do a pretty good job in anything they produce. Their toughbooks are great when you need a computer in a work zone or dig.
