The hard disk space leaves space for improvement it has a 4Gb SSG Hardisk which of cours has its high points. Consumes less energy from the laptop and it lasts longer, having a great lifetime.
The second bad review for this laptop comes with the remark that it doesn’t have a cd-rom, dvd-rom or any sort of optical unit but to make up for it , the laptop has a card reader. It comes with a wireless internet card and weighs less than a Kg. It runs battery powered for 3.5 Hours.

From New York Times:
Toshiba on Tuesday launched a new ultraportable laptop that it claims is the world’s lightest, putting it in contention with vendors including Apple and Lenovo. The company said the full-featured Portégé R500-S5007V weighs just 2.4 pounds (1.08 kilograms), compared to Apple’s MacBook Air, which weighs 3 pounds, and Lenovo’s Thinkpad X300, which weighs around 2.93 pounds. The laptop measures 0.77 inches at its thinnest point, according to Toshiba. The company also claimed that the new laptop was the first to include a 128G-byte solid-state drive (SSD) to replace the hard drive. Laptops to date have had 64G bytes of storage, though both Lenovo and Apple provide 128G bytes of storage through two 64G-byte modules.

Why label a dvd ?
- to personalize it and make it as you want it to look
- to print important information on the dvd label
- for better storage so you can easily find your favorite dvd
- any reason will do
DVD Labeling Software
A DVD Labeling software is what we need for this job. It will provide nice templates with the exact standard sizes of a dvd or dvd case so that all we have to do is to add our favorite image and text on that template and never have to worry about the result being the right size.
A list with recommended dvd labeling software:
- SureThing DVD Labeler Deluxe 5
- Acoustica DVD Label Maker
- BrotherSoft DVD Label Creator
- Nero Cover Designer
Choose your favorite software from the list above. You can use other software but the above also support LightScribe Direct-to-Disc Labeling.
LightScribe is HP’s newest media technology for labeling discs, called “Direct Disc Labeling”
This exciting technology uses your LightScribe-enabled CD/DVD drive to create silkscreen quality, iridescent labels burned directly to the disc surface
Besides LightScribe-ing a disc you can print a label on a special paper that you can cut and apply the label on top of a no name dvd, or you can print a label on a normal sheet of paper, cut it the right size and use a special dvd labeling kit like the one below:
Start your favorite dvd labeling software and make a cover by inserting images, writing text or by choosing from a large collection of pre-made labels. Print it according to the case cut it to the right size and apply the label on a blank no name dvd.
Labeling a Movie DVD
Labeling a movie isn’t much different from labeling a dvd but you should keep in mind that using a specific format when labeling a dvd is recommended. You should always label the name of the movie , the year it was made in, some screen shots resized and the producer of the movie. This will help you a great deal in organizing your movie collection.
Movie Label Making Software
The advantage of using a Movie Label software is that it will provide some great templates for movie labels. Also such a software has an impressive collection of background images that will go well with your home made movie.
Do you have a lot of movies and you don’t know how to catalog them? Or when you want to watch a movie you don’t know it’s rating… or if you will like that movie at all… in that case a Movie Label software can help you.
Recommended software:
Movie Label 2009

This was a quick and basic guide on how to label a dvd. I hope I got you started on this dvd label making frenzy.

According to the guardian we have a new record in computer speed. Fastest supercomputer in the world proves one in a million billion.
Roadrunner was always expected to be fast out of the blocks. And after a test run one night in the city of Poughkeepsie, New York, its creators are far from disappointed.
The self proclaimed super computer was built from microchips originally destined for games consoles. Roadrunner is the world’s latest supercomputer. Not to long ago it was officially crowned the fastest computer around, having performed a record million billion calculations per second.
It harnesses the power of 116,640 processors working in concert and it weighs 230 tonnes taking at least 21 big trucks to move it to another location.
