Strip show: Toshiba’s sexy Portege R600 notebook pulled apart and examined

We take a look at how the lightest notebook on the market is constructed

Because the Portege R600 is so thin, heat is an issue. The cooler is a simple copper-based heat sink and heat pipe with a fan attached. It is slightly thicker than the fan found in the Toshiba Portege R500; it draws heat from the CPU and blasts it out through the vent holes. The CPU in the Portege R600 is an ultra-low-voltage Intel Core 2 Duo U9400, which runs at 1.4GHz.
