Pretty frikkin sweet prize too… sure it’s the greenest, but it’s also the LIGHTEST fully featured Notebook out there. (fully featured means it has things most other manufacturers leave out of their ultra portables… like plenty of ports and Built-in Optical Drives)

“a fantastic choice for mobile professionals”

“one of the best ultraportables on the market” – cnet.com.au

“The ultra- portable notebook is also ENERGY STAR® 4.0 compliant and features a LED backlit show, the latest CPUs, the option for a Solid State Drive (SSD) as a storage medium that results in low energy consumption and long battery life, further reducing its environmental impact.

Toshiba believes that when it comes to award-winning products that less is more. We minimise waste and use recycled materials wherever we can, while constantly looking for ways to reduce energy consumption, Mr Whittard general manager, Toshiba ISD ANZ, said.

Our own recycling programs keep discarded technology from fouling the soil and atmosphere, as does our devotion to worldwide environmental initiatives. Plus, we check to see that the people who make the materials that go into our products follow earth-friendly practices just as we do so we all can delight in mobile computing amid a cleaner, more sustainable environment.

The life-cycle approach is excellent for life. One of our key objectives is to reduce the environmental impact of our products throughout their life-cycle. To do this, we assess every stage of the process, from procurement through to disposal.

In the interests of full disclosure, (and because I know I’ll be questioned thanks to some other dodgy youtubers and their sneaky back-room deals who’re damaging all our reputations here) no, I wasn’t paid to pimp this competition, not a single cent…

so why do it? simply, I was questioned if I’d like to help run it and I said yes, because the concept was fun, I get to give away a frikkin sweet laptop computer to one of my viewers, and also, many many years ago I owned an early Portégé model (back in the days of pentium III chips) and it was WAY ahead of it’s time, pretty much a “netbook” a excellent decade before we started calling them that, it was tiny, it weighed nearly nothing, it was truly ultra portable, and I bloody loved it, fantastic machine, never let me down.

So I’m a fan of what Toshiba do, with their dedication to making excellent gear, and now even more so with their strong commitment to environmental responsibility…. I am but, TRYING to score a freebie R600 from them hehe,(hey if ya don’t question you’ll never get ) because I’m pretty impressed by the R600, and a man like me can really use a excellent tough road-warrior machine (I do have a 9 inch netbook, but those small guys have some limits I smash into from time to time).
