The CPU speed has been enhanced from a 1.2Ghz mono-core to a 1.4Ghz Core Duo, RAM is upgraded from 1GB to 2GB, the upper memory ceiling has increased from 1.5GB max to 5GB max. Moreover, the R600 also features EasyGuard technology with PC Health monitor, extended battery life and enhanced backlit LED.

The Portégé R600 builds upon Toshiba’s legacy of innovation and delivers a superior mobile experience by providing performance, functionality and flexibility in an extremely lightweight form factor weighing 2.4 pounds.”

The Toshiba Portégé R600 also has a special toggle button which can be used to change the working environment depending on the surrounding lighting conditions. This allows the users to work indoors, as well as outdoors, without any hassles.
