Portégé R600 (note the preponderance of accent aigus, indicating its French Canadian market) is Toshiba’s latest laptop, which Crunchgear colorfully describes as “boneriffic.”

It’s not a powerhouse: a 1.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo ULV processor, a 160GB hard drive and 1GB of RAM, but it weighs less than two and a half pounds and, most impressively, promises nine hour battery life, for a little over a couple grand.

I’ve long liked Toshiba laptops, and this number is gorgeous. Toshiba’s one of the few laptop makers who have gotten it for a while: after a certain price point, all you care about is weight and battery life.
