So how small is the Portégé G500? Not very, as it happens. Toshiba has opted for a slider format and this means that the device is rather chunky. It is not particularly tall or wide at 96mm tall and 49mm wide. But it is very thick at 22.9mm, and rather heavy at 135g. Compare these dimensions to those of Orange’s SPV E650 (102 x 49 x 18mm and 130g) and there is a considerable difference in chunkiness, yet the SPV E650 has a full QWERTY keyboard hidden away under its long edge slider, while the Portégé G500 can only muster a more usual number pad.
