It may not be the world’s thinnest laptop but the Toshiba Portégé R500-S5007V is definitely the world’s lightest laptop, featuring a 128GB solid state drive and a DVD Super-Multi drive. It measures at around 0.77” in thickness and weighs 2.4 lbs. Just imagine how this innovative Portégé laptop series with an SSD capacity of 128GB allows you to store a stack of data without worrying too much about hard drive crashes.

This is definitely the one lightweight laptop computer that will challenge Apple’s Macbook Air. Prices range from $2,999 and above at Toshiba product site. Whew! That’s pretty much but once you have this laptop, the cost of a three thousand dollar laptop wouldn’t matter as long as you get an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor U7700 1.33GHz, 2MB L2, 533MHz FSB with 64 bit, a 2048 PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM, as well as a 12.1? diagonal widescreen high brightness display with 1,280 x 800 (WXGA), and not but not the least, a Genuine Windows Vista Business (32-bit version). I’m pretty sure that’s more than enough to pay the price.
