Driver Toshiba Portégé 2010
Review Portégé 2010 from pcmag.com
Pound for pound, inch for inch, the Toshiba Portégé 2010 is one of the most effective ultraportables out there. It weighs 3.3 pounds with both batteries installed (2.6 pounds with one battery) and measures 0.7 inches thick, but it still offers a full-size keyboard, 30GB hard drive, and 12.1-inch display.
The 2010 ships with an impressive 512MB of memory and a second battery that attaches to the underside of the unit. The second battery adds only 0.7 pounds to the system weight and less than half an inch to its thickness but results in almost 7 hours of total battery life. A slim port replicator ($299), an external DVD/CD-RW drive ($349), and an external CD drive ($149) are sold separately.
Driver Toshiba Portégé 2000
Review Toshiba Portégé 2000 from pcmag.com
Stats don't tell the whole story. The Toshiba Portégé 2000 is only a couple of ounces lighter and a small fraction of an inch thinner than the Dell Latitude X200. But this 2.6-pound marvel feels altogether different. It's the first ultraportable to have the same full-size keys as on desktop and large notebook computers, providing relief for users who shied away from any small notebook keyboard lacking 19-mm key spacing.
Toshiba got the size down to 0.75 by 11.4 by 9.0 inches through extensive use of exotic materials: moldable lithium ion polymer batteries, a Toshiba- designed 20GB hard drive just 8 mm (0.3 inches) thick, and rigid but thin case materials.
Toshiba's understanding of sleek portability also manifests itself in the included add-on battery, a near-necessity since the main battery is good for just 1:55. The battery itself is an unobtrusive half-inch slice that latches to the bottom rear of the unit. That's in stark contrast to the more awkward batteries on the Compaq and Dell units, which stick out as much as 2 inches in the back. Together, the two batteries boost the Portégé 2000's rundown time to a class-leading 6:45, while bringing the travel weight (which includes the AC adapter) to just 4 pounds.
Other nice touches are built-in wireless networking using a switch, not software, and a slot for SecureDigital memory that complements—not replaces—the single PC Card socket. SD is likely to evolve as a successor to CompactFlash. It's on board because Toshiba, not coincidentally, is one of the biggest backers of the postage-stamp–size SD format. If you have an SD memory camera or music player, the slot is a delight. There's a standard RGB video port in back, making this an ideal presenter's machine, but the system has no legacy connectors, such as a parallel or serial port, either on the unit or in a port replicator.
Performance (as seen on our Business Winstone and Content Creation Winstone tests) isn't the Portégé 2000's strong suit. Its scores were considerably lower than the others' when plugged into AC power. And to help conserve power, Toshiba dramatically throttles back the SpeedStep CPU from 750 MHz on AC power to 175 MHz on battery power—the lowest of the group. You can change that default if you find the 175-MHz performance too limiting, though you'll lose some battery life.

Review Qosmio E10 from pcpro
Toshiba makes some bold claims for the Qosmio E10, with the name itself apparently representing 'my personal universe'. It's not a notebook, the company says, but a home-entertainment hub.With an analog TV tuner built in, it's no surprise that this system uses Windows XP Media Center Edition. It also has an unusual array of connectors for hooking up other devices, with the aim of nestling into your existing home-entertainment setup. These include S-Video in and out, as well as composite video input and scart, enabling the Qosmio's screen to double up as a display for another device. A D-shaped 14-pin socket is supplied with two adaptor cables - scart to plug into a TV, and composite video/audio input for recording.
One of Qosmio's key attractions is instant-on, whereby a Linux application plays live TV, music and DVD movies without booting into Windows. We like the nine-second startup and the fact that you can display external video inputs in this mode, but it's severely hampered by not supporting MP3 files or the remote control (which needs a clunky USB adaptor).
Widescreen would seem to be the natural choice for a media-based system, but this model boasts only a 4:3 aspect ratio 15in TFT. It suits the analog TV tuner, but limits the Qosmio's appeal as a DVD player, with the hefty 3.61kg bulk also ruling out its use on the road. Thankfully, a Qosmio with a 15.4in widescreen is expected by the end of the year.
When you do use the E10's panel, you'll be impressed by the clarity and brightness. Toshiba has used a combination of hardware and software christened the 'QosmioEngine' to process the output from the graphics adaptor. As well as reducing noise and increasing sharpness, it also claims to correct time-based errors such as ghosting. The Clear Super View TFT gives a glossy appearance with vibrant colours and, with two florescent tubes, it's astonishingly bright (rated at 600cd/m2). It's certainly great for TV and DVD viewing, but you'll have to be careful with positioning since the surface also shows strong reflections.

Driver Toshiba NB550D
Review Toshiba NB550D (AMD Fusion) Netbook from notebookcheck
In keeping with the Toshiba NB550D’s multimedia focus, it comes equipped with the new AMD C-50 Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) along with an integrated AMD Radeon HD 6250 graphics unit. With a speed of 1 GHz, the dual-core entry-level APU is nominally weaker than its opposite number from Intel, but the DirectX 11 graphics unit is there to provide acceptable 3D performance as well as HD acceleration. The hardware set-up also includes 1 GB of DDR3 RAM and a 250 GB hard drive, widely viewed as standard.
The most immediate downside to this netbook seems to be the glossy screen, with a diagonal measuring 25.7 cm (10.1 inches). We examine the Toshiba NB550D’s best and worst features, particularly the Ontario Fusion APU from AMD. The netbook is out now, priced at €349 (RRP) including tax.
Case
 |
The Toshiba NB550D’s casing is based extensively on that of the NB500, other than the speakers in the palm rest. The matt plastic surfaces have a high-quality look, and the overall workmanship is convincing. The non-slip, rubberized surfaces below the keyboard and in the region of the lid are an unusual feature; as well as having a nice feel to them, these guard successfully against scratches and a build-up of dirt or dust. It does seem like the upper part of the screen bezel is a little oversized as a result of the large palm rest.
Though the case is mostly black, the netbook still manages to stand out from the crowd; the rubberized surface of the lid comes in either metallic brown, metallic lime-green or metallic orange, depending on your taste. Other than that it is a very straightforward, uncomplicated design, tapering towards the front for ease of use.
The netbook is for the most part robust. The keyboard flexes only in the central region. The hinges stick out from the back of the lid and hold it firmly in place, though we did notice some wobbling of the lid. Why Toshiba decided to make the screen bezel glossy, despite the rest of the case being matt, is a mystery, as the glossy surface has a tendency to pick up dust and scratches.
The netbook’s dimensions of 262 x 190 x 16.6 - 35.5 mm, and its weight of around 1.27 kg including the six-cell battery which it comes with, are within the normal range for a netbook with a 10-inch display. The relatively large access panel on the underside of the base unit is a pleasant surprise, allowing you to change the RAM or hard drive in minutes.
