TOSHIBA

Portégé 3110

Toshiba has the edge once again in the ultrathin notebook arena.

The Portégé is remarkably similar to the Sony Vaio 505RX. Indeed, at first glance it is hard to see the difference between them: both computers feature remarkably similar 10.4" TFT screens; the removable lithium-ion battery of each computer is lodged along the spine of the display/keyboard interface; and each computer provides extended port access by means of an optional mini-dock that is connected to the computer via a cable.

Although the Vaio 505RX has closed the gap in weight and thickness, the DynaBook is still slimmer and lighter by a whisker. Weighing a mere 1.4kg, including battery, the DynaBook is literally no deeper than a thumb, at only 0.77" deep.

The keyboard is a full 18mm in pitch, making it the easiest to touch type with of any mini-notebook computer. Finally, the DynaBook features a far superior pointing device, the pointing head style Accupoint, which is both fast and accurate.

The Portége' series was the first of the mini-notebooks to boast 32Kb of primary L1 write back Cache and 256Kb of integrated L2 Cache. Add to this a P-II 300PE CPU with 64Mb RAM as standard.  Toshiba have fitted the DynaBook 3110 with a gigantic 6.0 GB hard drive, which at 6.5mm is the world's thinnest.Space has been saved with the FDD by simply   making it one of the tiniest floppy disk devices ever.
