This is the first Portege to integrate a 9.5mm Ultra Slim SelectBay drive and a 2.5-inch Serial ATA hard drive.

The inclusion of Serial ATA delivers faster, more reliable access to information maintained on the hard drive.

Toshiba’s new ultra-portable notebook features a complete suite of communication technologies, including Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (802.11b/g), Gigabit Ethernet and fast infrared.

While the laptop industry continues to move toward 14-inch laptops and larger, the 13-inch laptop remains an important category. One of the best is the Apple MacBook Air M2, with an extremely thin and well-built chassis, great performance, and incredibly long battery life.

Lenovo has recently introduced the third generation of its ThinkPad X1 Nano, one of the lightest laptops we've tested and a good performer as well. It's stiff competition, but which of these two diminutive laptops stands apart?
