Toshiba portege r700
Recently, the Moscow office of Toshiba announced a very interesting model of a business laptop - the ultra-thin Portégé R700 and its consumer version of the Satellite R630. The model is full of interesting decisions, to tell about which immediately within the framework of one post seems like an unnecessary rush. Let's start with a general overview, and then we will analyze in more detail a new cooling system, an encryption module, a battery that allows you to work offline for up to 8 hours, etc.
So, let's start with the case. 
Today it is the thinnest and lightest laptop in the European market. The Portégé R700 diagonal is 33.8 cm (13.3``), its thickness is only 16.8 mm and its weight is 1.3 kg.
The lid of the laptop is made of magnesium alloy with a black matte finish. It feels like it is not thicker than a thick sheet of cardboard, and it seems that there is enough effort to break it, but the impression is deceptive. The textured structure makes the Portégé R700 incredibly resistant to bending deformation, protecting the electronics and mechanical components from damage, thereby significantly extending the life of the product.
Those who do not like the “gloss” of laptops will be pleased. The screen does not reflect light from external sources. The laptop comes with a Toshiba TrueBrite screen as standard. What else is interesting? The technology of distribution of air flows (Airflow Cooling Technology), which allowed to maintain a low noise level from the fan. We'll talk about it a bit later. Due to the vertical arrangement of the memory slots, the Portégé R700 can contain up to 8 GB of RAM, providing an even higher level of performance. The motion sensor in space is designed to protect the hard drive from possible damage due to shock and shock of the case. A port for connecting a docking station that supports modern HDMI and USB 3.0 data transfer interfaces. Finally, the battery life,
While the Portégé R700 is designed primarily for business users who spend a lot of time on the road, use 3G mobile Internet, the Toshiba Satellite R630 laptop is designed for the consumer segment. As a rule, representatives of this segment do not need a docking station, therefore this model is deprived of the corresponding port. The same goes for the fingerprint scanner. The laptop comes with a Toshiba TrueBrite screen as standard.
