Toshiba Portégé R100

No one can touch the R100 for size and weight: at 0.7-inches thick and 2.4lbs. it is one tiny package, yet it still has the 12.1-inch screen common to all the notebooks on this page, except the widescreens from Fujitsu and Sony. It is so slim that, when closed, it doesn’t even look like a full notebook. The R100 has a well-laid out keyboard, the touch pad is easy to use, and the sound quality is good for a business notebook.

Because of its size, this is the notebook to have if naked envy from colleagues is something you covet.

The R100 sells for $2,499.
