Strengths: Very light, very good screen, especially for outdoors and cars, solid sate disk.
Weaknesses:Heats up in the wrong place, health hazard if work continues for more than 15 minutes.
Overall Evaluation: Toshiba produces the best and most reliable laptops. When I bought the Portege R200 2 years ago I was dreaming about a transflective LED screen and a solid state disk to avoid the frequent data losses common with regular HDDs. My dreams seemed to come true with the release of R500. Unfortunatly this model is unusable for serious work because they moved the processor and its fan too close to the front where your left hand is. The heat and the magnetic radiation measured with the TriField Broadband Meter show that this system is a true health hazard for your left hand, even if used on a desk. The keyboard is great - no flex. The screen angles are just fine. The battery life is about 5-6 hours with the power saver, medium brightness and wifi on. I am returning it back to Toshiba only because this system is a true health hazard. Very unfortunate - would be the best system around otherwise. I can only recommend this system to those who intend to use it 15-20 minutes at a time in a room cooled to 65 degrees or less.
