According to the press release I got today, Toshiba launches a series of notebooks such as the Toshiba Portégé® R830, Tecra R840 and Tecra R850. These three new R800 series focuses on compactness (ultra-thin), light to travel, but stay powerful for your needs.

I thought most notebooks can only have up to 2-3 hours of battery life (or I have known for all these years). If what Toshiba claims are true, then these can be one of our dream machines (portable mobile gaming, anyone?). Obviously, the battery life would decrease pretty quick if you are opening a full movie or running a game, but with these new Toshiba machines, I’m pretty sure it’d be more than 2-3 hours still.
