Toshiba will ship its skinniest notebook to date on Monday.
The new notebook, the Portege 2000, measures just over a half-inch thick and weighs about 2.6 pounds.
Toshiba designed the new model to dazzle buyers with technology. It employs the company's new 1.8-inch, 20GB hard drive and a lithium-ion polymer battery. But it's also part of an overall effort by Toshiba to jazz up its product line and return to a more competitive position in the notebook market. Toshiba was once the No. 1 notebook maker, but was displaced at the top by Dell Computer.
