R500 was one such machine, first of its kind in terms of form factor that provided an integrated DVD drive and was less than a kilogram in weight.

Throughout their history, Portégé machines have been extolled due to their focus on long battery life.

Furthermore, several high-end models in the Portégé line feature a Honeycomb Rib Structure which makes the laptop stiffer and more durable.

Similar to the M750, the M780 features a flip and twist screen, which means it can be used as a notebook or a tablet.

The device has a 12.1-inch LED-backlit display with a resolution of 1200 × 800 pixels, and comes with a stylus for scribbling notes, which slots into the side of the chassis when not being used.
