Back in June, Toshiba unveiled the first laptop with a 128G solid-state drive which is called R500-S5007V. More recently, a couple of days ago, another unit was added to the Protégé line, the A605 that costs close to $1,400.

In terms of performance, the 12-inch A605 sports an Intel Centrino 2 Duo processor, the SU9300 to be more specific. It has 3GB of RAM memory, a Serial ATA hard-drive with 250GB, and a Mobile Intel graphics 11 Media Accelerator. Sadly it has Windows Vista as the operative system,

Other features included on Toshiba Protégé A605:

- DVD SuperMulti (+/-R double layer) with Labelflash(TM) drive
- Built-in webcam and microphone (more…)

Toshiba’s growth in the notebook manufacturing market has been tremendous. Credit this to its Portégé laptop range. Now, Toshiba is planning to release its own super-thin notebook that could possibly rival Apple’s MacBook Air. This new model claims to be the world’s thinnest and lightest fully featured machine to date.

The Toshiba R600 weighs in at 1.1kg (2.4lb) and measures 283 x 215.8 x 19.5-25.5mm. The R600 is a bit similar to its older brother, the R500, which weighs exactly the same and has identical dimensions. The new model comes in two flavors: a 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400 model with 1GB of 800MHz DDR 2 memory and a 128GB solid-state drive, or a cheaper 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo SU9300 version with 2GB of 800MHz DDR 2 memory and a 160GB SATA HDD.

Toshiba’s Protege G810 is all set to enter the touchscreen fray on June 20, 2008. Like the Omnia or the Touch Diamond, the G810 runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 with Toshiba’s homemade UI. You will find the same components such as aGPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, and microSD slot with a slightly smaller 2.8-inch touchscreen. Toshiba has also thrown in a middle-of-the-road 3-megapixel camera into the mix along with HSDPA/HSUPA support.

If Toshiba’s earlier announcement holds true, then the Protege G810 will first make an appearance in various European markets come June 20th.
