The build and design is similar to
Toshiba's Portege R500, making the A600 a lightweight but tough notebook. It weighs from 1.46kg and is only 30mm thick, which is good for business travellers looking for a portable notebook that can last for hours on end.
The unit hosts the volume wheel, headphone and microphone jack, USB port, e-SATA/USB combo port, D-Sub out, and AC port on the left side, while a DVD drive, ExpressCard slot, Wireless on/off switch, SD card reader, USB, and Ethernet port are found on the opposite side.
Opening the lid reveals the trackpad with a fingerprint reader in between the mouse buttons, system indicators (DC-in, Power, Battery, HDD, SD/SDHC card, Wireless), built-in microphone, keyboard, Display and Toshiba Assist button on the upper right hand side of the unit, and a web camera sitting on top of the screen.
