Toshiba Portege R600 Review
The Toshiba Portegé R600 is a very light-weight notebook computer, complete with biometric fingerprint reader. I found it a pretty good choice for a second notebook.

Hi Tod – I enjoyed your review. What I am wondering about is why you hate Vista so much? I like Vista way better than XP. I find the networking easier and I have never had any problems with it crashing. Vista was not compatible with my Logitech gaming keyboard and that his been the only issue. Now, Office 2007 is another story!

Hey Tod,
Thanks for the review. My dad’s been using this system form factor for a year now, and he seems to love it.
Why I don’t know, I tend to agree with you on the keyboard size, but I do like the fingerprint reader concept, for general day to day security type things.
Worth the purchase price tho? I’d tend to agree with you, not for a primary system, but great for a remote desktop / mobile editing station for documents and some basic web browsing. Personally i’d rather use an EEE or equivalent at 1/4 the price.
