Macbook
Is the Macbook Air comparison really necessary, or is this site now taking a leaf out of Engadget's book?
Besides, the MBA blows.
Toshiba has grown its slimline Portégé laptop range with the birth of a new model which the firm claims is the world’s thinnest and lightest fully featured machine to date. The R600 weighs in at 1.1kg (2.4lb) and measures 283 x 215.8 x 19.5-25.5mm. Unfortunately for Toshiba, the R600 will have to share its attributes crown …
The Register scraping the barrel again, and failing to come up with anything plausible.
"MBA Beater" and "The R600 still has the same dangerously bendy 12.1in, 1280 x 800 screen found on the R500". So let me see if I get this right, making something inferior to the MBA qualifies it as an MBA Beater? Is that in the same way as people on Benefit are Captains of Industry?
Perhaps it would be simpler, better, and less painful if El Reg got back to simply reporting facts and left out the personal prejudices and opinions. This old crank of yours is getting tiresome and making you like one of our daily Red Tops. What next, Page Three pictures?
IT? - Because this article has bugger all to do with IT and more to do with airing prejudices.

....how exactly is the MBA crap?
Sure it doesn't have many ports, only has 100Mb ethernet and has no on board DVD, but it utterly destroys any of the other super thin and light machines where it matters, on performance.... the only one that really bugs me is the ethernet speed, but that's only an issue when moving large files around on a network, otherwise none of the supposed "MBA Beaters" even come close to beating it... but people will always profess how much greater it is because of all the unnecessary features that are used so infrequently... buy a £4 USB hub and you're done.
