Top of the range Toshiba Portege R700-185 Reviewed

The Toshiba Portege R700 range has been around for a while but they have a new top spec edition - the 185 where they have managed to squeeze in a DVD-RW drive and add to that a super powerful i7-620m CPU with a 120GB SSD hard disk and you have quite a significant specification for an Ultra Portable laptop.

Many reviewers have criticized the price at over £1600 but my view is that with the i7-620m included it is actually quite reasonable. i7-620m from Intel is a higher spec than the model number implies. It actually scores better on a number of criteria than both the apparently superior 720qm and 740m. For example look where it comes in the Best CPU for graphics league.
