Thank you so much to all of you who entered, and to Toshiba, this has been fun ^_^
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 great 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 display, 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 enjoy mobile computing amid a cleaner, more sustainable environment.
The life-cycle approach is good for life. One of our key objectives is to reduce the environmental impact of our products throughout their life-cycle. To do this, we ess every stage of the process, from procurement through to disposal.
In the interests of full disclosure, (and because I know I’ll be asked 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 asked 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 good decade before we started calling them that, it was tiny, it weighed almost nothing, it was truly ultra portable, and I bloody loved it, great machine, never let me down.
So I’m a fan of what Toshiba do, with their dedication to making good gear, and now even more so with their strong commitment to environmental responsibility…. And hooray for me, Seems the folks in the Toshiba offices here in aussie-land have becomes fans of mine too, and were so pleased with the terrific response to the competition, they shoved a shiny new R600 into my hands as a thanks
- it really is quite a nice machine too. (thank goodness, I’d hate to be giving away something shoddy
heh) I’ll probably do a full review sometime soon when my to-do list is all caught up.
