Both models with come with 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, four USB ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port and an SD memory slot. Battery life is an incredible 9 hours with a 3 hour recharge when off, plus they've squeezed in a 0.3-megapixel web-cam and microphone in the lid to round out the package.
The word around the net is that Toshiba claimed this model is also the world's thinnest laptop. I don't know if this was retracted, or if someone misread Toshiba's product description and it spread, but I can't find an official mention of it. One look at the specs will show that it is simply not true. Toshiba says the R600's thickness is 19.5-25.5mm. The MacBook Air is 4.0-19.4mm thick, undercutting the R600 even at the Air's thickest point.
The R600 is only available from Toshiba Canada's store for now but should be hitting the US shortly.

The laptop PC's touchpad has been moved to the center and the buttons feature a tighter, firmer and more solid design. While the keyboard has been enhanced to provide a better tactile feel for touch typists.
* EasyGuard® Technology: Toshiba’s Portégé R600 laptop features Toshiba’s fourth-generation EasyGuard Technology with PC Health Monitor.
