Toshiba has announced a new notebook that sports a massive 512GB SSD option. The notebook is called the Portege R600-ST4203. Toshiba says that it has increased SSD capacities from 32GB to 512GB in only two years.

The notebook equipped with the large SSD weighs only 2.4 pounds and is 0.77 inches thick. The SSD inside the notebook is one made by Toshiba that uses MLC NAND flash technology and offers up to 3 times faster access times compared to a 128GB SSD.

Other features of the notebook include a 12.1-inch indoor/outdoor LED backlit screen, Intel ULV Core 2 Duo SU9400, and a sleep and charge eSATA/USB combo port. Power consumption in idle mode is reduced by up to 50% thanks to the SSD. The price for the notebook thanks to the massive SSD is almost as large as the storage space in the machine at $3,499.99.
