Toshiba Portege R500-S5008x user reviews

    "My review for Toshiba Portege R500-S5008x

This laptop is small and lite weight. Not worth the money though. Especially that it does not come with a CD or DVD Burner. I would recommend shopping for something with more features for this much money."

    "My review for Toshiba Portege R500-S5008x

Strengths:Ultraportable computer at 1kg with sufficient performance. Nice LCD, WiFi, Bluetooth, SD-slot, everything I needed. Not the optical drive that I do not need. Only 2.2lb despite vendors claim 2.4lb.

Weaknesses:Gets quite warm, maybe sometimes hot (only on the left side). Omission of traditional modem. Ugly bump on the lower left part of the computer to accommodate 2.5-in HDD."

    "My review for Toshiba Portege R500-S5008x

Left side gets pretty warm under intensive use. I wonder SSD models are better in this. (they should be...) Touchpad needs fiddling in the control panel, as long as you use tapping and gesture. (Can be solved.) Other than these, it's a hands-down. This one is just right, at least for me. It's got everything I want (19-mm pitch keyboard, 2GB RAM, WiFi, SD-slot, Bluetooth, etc), and not what I don't (internal optical drive, Vista, etc). I'm very happy with the purchase."
