The PORTEGE A600, which weighs in at 1.46 kg, contains an in-built optical drive, an express card reader, spill-resistant keyboard, and fingerprint recognition for a secure log-on process. The A600 runs on Intel's Centrino 2 processor and comes with 3GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive.

Connectivity options for the A600 include wi-fi, Bluetooth 2.1, and Gigabit ethernet. A USB cum eSATA combo port on the A600 will provide consumers with the convenience of charging USB devices and connecting eSATA devices using the same port.

Targeted at style-conscious business users, the high-end PORTEGE R600 comes in a silver grey magnesium case and weighs in at just 979g. It features a 128GB solid state disk (SSD) and 7mm DVD SuperMulti Drive. Battery life for the R600 is expected to last up to nine hours due to the SSD's lower energy consumption compared to standard hard disk drives.

The R600 runs Intel's Centrino 2 processor and comes with an LED backlit display which Toshiba claims is able to offer clear visibility "both indoors and outdoors" due to a transflective screen, which allows the user to turn off the LED backlight and use an embedded reflecting mirror to avoid light reflection. Standard connectivity options such as wi-fi, Bluetooth 2.1 and Gigabit Ethernet are available.

Like the A600, the R600 also comes with a spill-resistant keyboard and fingerprint reader.
