* 86 keys ergonomic keyboard

13.3-inch Toshiba Portege R700 embedded 86 key ergonomic keyboard designs that are using the current mainstream chocolate suspension keyboard, which is estimated to follow the trend out of consideration. Fortunately, the common space, delete and such buttons are in large size, this played a crucial role in user’ experience.

Major heat components are designed in close to the cooling fan

Such high-performance platform designed new cooling system has a good cooling of still only one of its advantages. Another advantage is that it can be directly reduce the thickness of the machine.

* Modular design –lightweight honeycomb structure of the Toshiba Portege R700

Another reason why Toshiba R700 is so thin is the modular body design. The so-called modular design, in fact, is what you see in the external interface, the wind drives etc are independent individual. They are connected with motherboard by cables to achieve certain functionality. The goal is to reduce the board size, leaving more space to accommodate parts.
