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
• Intel Wireless Wi-Fi Link 4965AGN, Intel PRO/1000 – 10/100/1000 Ethernet, and Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR
• 3-Year Standard Limited Warranty
