A review of the stylish Toshiba Portégé R400-S4931 mobile notebook which features fast mobile broadband and an external screen has been posted over at Laptop Magazine. 'Some might say Toshiba has gone too far in the bling direction, but our only substantive complaint about the R400-S4931's appearance is the three-quarter-inch chrome letters on the lid that shout "TOSHIBA." This may be great for product placement, perhaps, but not carrying around (unless your name happens to be Toshiba).

One especially convenient feature is the R400-S4931's ability to receive real-time alerts, e-mail, and calendar updates using Microsoft's Active Notifications with Push Technology. The alerts are displayed on a digital display located on the front edge of the system, which Toshiba calls a Personal Information Assistant. The Portégé R400-S4931 automatically checks for new e-mail and calendar items as long as you have a wireless connection, whether it's via Wi-Fi or the integrated EV-DO modem.'
