Twenty-five years ago, under the innovation of Toshiba, the world's first notebook was born in front of people. When people sat in amazement in front of a relatively large desktop computer and marveled that the computer could be so small and stable, Toshiba transformed this amazement into the most important concept of its notebook design and production: thinness, safety, stability, long battery life and relatively strong performance, and persisted until now.
1998, Toshiba became the first oscar pistorius with ultra-thin ports? g？ DYNAFORK SS 3000/3010CT series unveiled the mysterious mask and won back several awards for Toshiba in that year and 1999. This warrior who embodies Toshiba's charm has become a generation of classics. After that, the port? g？ Series oscar pistorius is famous in the Jianghu. During this period, many martial arts experts competed to win the name of Blade, but in the end, they could not give consideration to oscar pistorius's light and sharp stunts, and candidly admit defeat. Many martial arts experts value thinness over performance, or thin performance, or treat performance and weight as chicken feathers, but they dare not guarantee that they are as thin as blades below 12 inch.
Toshiba's early thin and light computers
For the development history of oscar pistorius before 10, please refer to my essence post:

Toshiba's innovative spirit of improving notebook computers has created many famous features of oscar pistorius series, among which it is as thin as a blade and as light as a feather. Secondly, security and stability are also oscar pistorius's specialties, not only the security and anti-theft of hard disk data, but also various details such as the release of pressure pulse in fuselage design, all of which illustrate Toshiba's good intentions in designing oscar pistorius. Of course, endurance has always been a feature of oscar pistorius. Not only can the bottom docking station expand the second longest battery life, but Toshiba has also been making unremitting efforts in the innovation of battery materials.
If the first nine generations of oscar pistorius have any shortcomings, it is that the performance is relatively weak and the heat dissipation efficiency is relatively low. Toshiba also knows that the two are closely linked, because ordinary CPU with normal voltage and strong performance cannot be used without improving the problem of low heat dissipation efficiency. As for the increase in power consumption caused by normal voltage, it is easy to solve because of Toshiba's accomplishments in batteries. Under this design idea, Toshiba and Intel creatively designed a brand-new cooling mode and system, killing two birds with one stone, which solved two technical problems that plagued all oscar pistorius and thin notebooks, and the significance for notebook design is self-evident. In this way, the 10th Toshiba oscar pistorius portege R700, whose performance is no longer weak, made its grand debut. Just like the identity of the 10th generation oscar pistorius as the 25th anniversary of the notebook, it is also a turning point in notebook design. Under this design idea, the future notebook will be thinner and thinner, but the performance will be stronger and stronger, and the unity of performance and thinness will be gradually realized.
Next, I will show you Toshiba's exquisite notebook design and production ideas in oscar pistorius through the taste of Toshiba portege R700 and the comparison with R500, and look forward to the future notebook.

Because the number of words in this article is nearly 10000, and the number of pictures has exceeded 100, I wanted to finish it in one breath and apply for the third prize, but I was afraid that everyone's cat would be killed, so I decided to divide it into three articles. Enjoy it slowly.
The appearance of the box is simple, and I like the slogan on the box.

Manual and system CD, R700 is located in business, so the system uses win7 professional edition and is equipped with recovery disk of winXP professional edition, and R705 is located in home, so win7 home edition is pre-installed without any recovery disk. At the same time, there are many differences between the two in pre-installed software. Generally speaking, R700 software is business application and security software, while R705 is mainly family entertainment software.

It is worth mentioning that Toshiba has a strong concept of environmental protection. In addition to the paper used for boxes, even plastic bags and seals are marked with such instructions. They are pure natural plant-derived resin products, so they can be degraded and avoid the production of plastic waste.

There is a battery on the back of R700. Because of the sunken screen design, there is no interface in the design.
Behind the notebook
The bottom of R700 is a large-capacity 6-cell battery with 5800mAh at the back. In front of the battery is a docking station, which can expand the base, and behind it is a memory window and a hard disk window. The right front fan blows cold air into the machine, and hot air is discharged from the machine body through the cooling window on the right side of R700, which plays a role in cooling. How to operate it, it will be clear at a glance after dismantling.

Many people question that R700 is a copy of BenQ and Tongfang's design. BenQ and Tongfang actually copied Toshiba's design, because this design of R700 was used as early as when the R500 came out in 2006. The design idea of R700 was followed in most places, at least three years earlier than that of BenQ and Tongfang. It can be seen that the investment of domestic brands in shape design is far less than that of Japanese.
The brushed black metal of R700 top cover highlights the noble texture, and the fingerprint fit is much better than that of piano paint. It is very beautiful, with a silver Toshiba logo. R705 is blue brushed, which is more active and fashionable than R700, because R705 is located in personal home. This appearance is more commercial than the silver frosted surface of R500, and R500 is more fashionable.

R700 top cover is a seamless composite material made of magnesium metal, special plastic and glass fiber. The front of the top cover is a plastic structure to avoid the interference of metal shielding on the wireless signal inside the screen. Other notebooks, including R500, have an unsightly seam to separate metal from plastic, because metal and plastic have different expansion coefficients. In order to solve this beautiful and sturdy problem, Apple moved the antenna to the rotating shaft, but this will reduce the wireless signal receiving ability. Toshiba solved this problem. By using a special plastic and glass fiber, it keeps almost the same expansion coefficient as metal and eliminates this dividing line. Not only is the appearance more concise and beautiful, but the integrated shell can also play a more solid role in protecting pressure and resisting impact. Moreover, by using Toshiba's patented diversity wireless antenna technology, this top cover design will also increase the ability to accept wireless signals.

The radian in front of the side of R700 is the same as that of R500. The screen top cover is slightly shorter than the fuselage and adopts the same radian as the fuselage. When the front of the notebook is hit, the stress can be dispersed along the fuselage, and the fuselage closer to the front screen is used to protect the fragile screen as much as possible.

The status indicator light on the front of R700 is clear at a glance, but it is not as beautiful and practical as R500. The indicator light of R500 can only be seen when it is lit, which makes the indicator light more clear and concise.

The touchpad of R700 supports multi-touch, which is a great progress compared with R500. The touchpad of Toshiba R series always feels good. There is a touchpad switch above the R700 touchpad, which can prevent the keyboard from touching the touchpad by mistake, which is more convenient than the R500.

The shortcut keys of R700 near the axis are also different from those of R500. R500 is a safety protection and semi-reflective display button. The former is Toshiba's characteristic security software suite, and the latter is because the R500 adopts Toshiba's patented semi-reflective screen, which can be switched to semi-reflective display mode outdoors, and the backlight of the screen can be turned off, so that the screen content can be clearly read and watched even under strong light. Moreover, the stronger the light, the clearer the display and the purpose of saving electricity. The buttons of R700 are eco tech and display switch buttons. The former is Toshiba's latest energy-saving and low-carbon technology, which intelligently adjusts the performance of notebooks. The latter is because the R700 does not use a semi-reflective screen, so the display switch button is set when connecting an external display screen or projector. Perhaps because of the cost limitation, it is a pity that the R700 does not use Toshiba's patented semi-reflective screen.

The stereo of R700 has left and right channels, which is much better than that of R500 with only one speaker.

The rotating shaft design of R700 is more beautiful. The same sinking design as R500 can keep the whole machine light, flat, simple and generous. This once controversial design of the rotating shaft has also been verified in oscar pistorius of R500 and R600 generations, and there is no problem of firmness at all.

The R700' s bottom hard disk window doesn't use the award-winning R500? Eggshell? In design, R500 memory window with radian is not adopted. Eggshell? The radian design can greatly buffer the damage of external force to hard disk and memory motherboard. Perhaps because Toshiba's proud aps protection technology for 3D hard disk is very mature, it abandoned this design.

The R700 can freely replace the memory and hard disk, which is more convenient than the R500 and R600 which can only replace the memory.
R700 memory and hard disk
The covers of memory and hard disk are reinforced by honeycomb structure, and the hardness is really high when you break them by hand.

The biggest difference between R700 and R500 is the cooling fan grid. There is no fan grid at the bottom of the R500. I will talk about the overall heat dissipation effect in detail later.
