The Dynabook SS RX1: Toshiba at its best
July 6, 2007 3:24 amFor some, ‘sky is the limit’. Imagine a notebook that is less than 2 cm thick. Add 64 GB of SSD and you get an unimaginable product from Toshiba – the Dynabook SS RX1 . This one’s got it all – looks, performance, and reliability (I say this because it is Toshiba).
This state-of-the-art notebook runs on a Core 2 Duo processor and boasts of 11 hrs of autonomy (Now that’s a treat). The 12.1 inch display is not something to cheer about, though. And, like every other device, you need to strike a balance and this one is no different. The versions that are listed on the website come equipped with a HDD and not SSD. Seems like we would have to wait a while!
The price is neither going to disappoint you nor would you get ecstatic about it. The notebook costs 1.677€, for the1GB RAM version with […]
