I don’t know if this cuts cake or not, but Toshiba’s Portege R500-12Q, rebranded for US as the R500-S5007V, still remains the first laptop to have 128GB of SSD sweetness, while being thin and light at the same time. There is no word on when it will become available, but at $3000, I would give the MacBook Air a pass any day over this.

Here is what you will get if you pony up $2,999:

• Intel Core2Duo Processor U7700 1.33GHz, 2MB L2, 533MHz FSB with 64 bit
• 2GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM
• 128GB Serial ATA Solid State Drive
• 12.1-inch diagonal widescreen high-brightness display with 1280 x 800 WXGA resolution
• Transreflective backlit LED
• Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator 950
• 7mm, 8x SuperMulti-DVD (+/-R Single Layer) drive supporting 9 formats
• Genuine Windows Vista Business (32-bit version) with downgrade media for Genuine Windows XP Professional

It was only last month when we presented a spy pic of the Toshiba Portege G450. This February, Toshiba has officially announced the device. The Toshiba Portege G450 was designed with the quick internet access in mind. As was previously mentioned, the Toshiba Portege G450 is a (very bare) phone and modem in one. It’s even an MP3 player. The device can can be connected to your UMPCs, laptops, or notebooks via USB and can support both GPRS/EDGE and 3G capability with HSDPA. It has 160MB of built-in memory and a very basic 96×39 pixel resolution OLED display. The Toshiba Portege G450 measures 98×36x16mm, weighs 16g, and will be available in black, white and red.
