Hot on the heels of Sony’s solid state laptop, Toshiba has released its own contender for the ultraportable market, the R500 series, with the 1.73 pound R500-S5003 leading the way. With absolutely no moving parts (no DVD drive for that matter) and a 64GB solid state hard drive, the S5003 is, at the moment, the ultimate machine for any business traveler.

All you need is a mere $2700 to own the lightest laptop on the market. Not only will your laptop bag feel amazingly light on your shoulders, your wallet will feel significantly lighter as well.
