0Overall Score

Toshiba has launched 21 new notebooks which will come pre-installed with the newly-launched Windows 7 operating system. The company also unveiled its first 13.3-inch touch notebook that supports Windows Touch functions.

According to the company, the new line-up consists of 21 notebooks across 12 ranges and includes the five brand new models: Satellite U500 Touch, T100, T130, M500 and Qosmio X500, along with Blu-Ray, available on models X500 and P500.

Toshiba ANZ’s General Manager, Mark Whittard said, “The new range offers customers new and easy ways to interact with their media on the go. The performance and functionality in Windows 7 has enabled us to deliver the features that consumers want, such as touch and Fast Sleep-and-Resume, in affordable mainstream notebooks. Our new range is diverse, powerful and intuitive and will change not only the way we use our notebooks.”

The entire new consumer range is fitted with Microsoft’s new operating system Windows 7, is ROHS Compliant, and is Energy Star 5.0 qualified.

In addition to touch features, the Toshiba 13.3-inch Satellite U500 comes with LifeSpace, a program that gives you fast access to day-to-day activities, tasks and projects, and can help find files based on when they were opened.

 

The Satellite T100 series is Toshiba’s thinnest and lightest Satellite laptop. Weighing in at 1.58kgs, the T100 series is packed with features to handle everyday connectivity, web and digital entertainment needs. It is equipped with a six-cell battery that offers up to nine hours of battery life.

It also comes with features such as USB Sleep and Charge for charging your devices on the go (even when your notebook is switched off), a Webcam with Face Recognition for keyless access and Hard Drive Impact Sensor.

The T100 series is available in two screen sizes: an 11.6-inch HD or 13-inch HD TruBrite widescreen LED Backlit display – both with a full-sized keyboard and touchpad. RR starts from $999.

The Qosmio X500 gaming notebook has a quad core processor, powerful graphics, and claims to deliver an advanced home entertainment and multimedia experience. A Blu-ray rewriteable drive can be purchased for the X500 and can be used to backup files or play HD movies.
