DynaBook SS PORTÉGÉ 3000

Toshiba announced the DynaBook SS Portg 3000 series of slim, B5-size subnotebooks in June 1998. These subnotebooks were the world’s thinnest, at 19.8 mm, and lightest, at about 1.19 kg, B5 subnotebooks at the time. To do this, Toshiba developed and used a number of component technologies, including a slim, 8.45 mm hard drive, 0.7 mm magnesium shell, a 4.8 mm slim-profile keyboard, a 5.7 mm LCD screen, and a highly integrated chip set.
