 Many business travelers want a dream machine to be incredibly light and small but large enough for a 12" screen and 17mm (or better) keypitch keyboard, come equipped with a solid-state drive, super multi-DVD, and have the power of Intel's Core2Duo CPU. The new Toshiba Dynabook SS RX1 delivers all of these features and one impressive package.
The RX1 is one of the first ultralight notebooks on the market to boast a wide aspect ratio (1280x800) 12.1" LED-backlit display. This crisp display gives you a little extra desktop workspace, and it is great for watching videos.
Its mechanical hard drive has been replaced by a 128GB solid-state drive. Solid-state drives are more expensive, but offer some great advantages: faster performance, less battery usage, and greater reliability. Unlike mechanical hard drives, SSDs are unlikely to lose data in the event that your computer is dropped. In general, Toshiba boasts its durability including water resistance. (It is not waterPROOF and does not have warranty coverage for water damage.)
 A specially designed 7mm thick super multi-DVD module helps it to become the world's lightest notebook with integrated optical drive. It weighs 1.88 pounds (848g) and is only 0.77 in. (19.5mm) thick.
The Toshiba RX1 features a low-voltage Intel Core2Duo 1.33GHz and 3GB of RAM (max). That CPU helps it to achieve, despite its lightness, an impressive 6-hour standard and 12-hour enhanced, battery life. (Manufacturer list times should be approximately halved to estimate real-world performance.)
The remarkable RX1 is now available for preorder. As with all products purchased from Dynamism, it includes unlimited free tech support and the Dynamism Rescue Warranty service. |
