Toshiba Debuts Stylish Portege S100 Laptop

Weighing 4.38 pounds, the Portege S100 is Toshiba's lightest ultra-portable, two-spindle notebook to feature a 14.1-inch display and measures under an inch thin.

This is the first Portege to integrate a 9.5mm Ultra Slim SelectBay drive and a 2.5-inch Serial ATA hard drive. The Ultra Slim SelectBay allows users to swap out the bay with different optical drives or secondary hard drive options. 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.

The Portege S100 incorporates the new Intel Centrino Mobile Technology Pentium M processor and the new Mobile Intel 915PM Express chipset. These recent innovations from Intel will increase performance and improve wireless interoperability, enabling the Portege S100 to deliver the level of computing demanded by today’s mobile professionals.
