The Apple MacBook Air garnered a lot of attention when it was launched, and although it is a very unique and trendsetting computer, there are other computers available that are comparable in both performance and weight.

You’ll get a CD/DVD burner as well as all the necessary ports to connect this computer to all of your other digital devices. Also with this Toshiba Portege you’ll get an even bigger 128 GB Solid State Drive that provides plenty of storage capacity, and as it has no moving parts it’s much faster and more stable than the older hard disk drives. You can be sure to connect to the net just about anywhere with the Portege R500-S5007V through 802.11a/b/g and Draft-n wireless standards as well as to other digital devices that are Bluetooth equipped.
