Toshiba’s
Digital Products Division (DPD), a division of Toshiba American
Information Systems, Inc., today announced that its popular Satellite®
laptop PC line has been enhanced with the latest Intel®
Centrino® 2 processor technology, which offers
users a forward leap in wireless connectivity, battery life and
performance.
“At Toshiba, our goal has always been to
create innovations that improve the lives of our customers,”
said Jeff Barney, vice president and general manager, Digital Products
Division, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. “By
incorporating Intel’s latest Centrino 2 mobile
technology into the Satellite laptop PC line, our users have a product
in hand that will empower them to do even more.”
Toshiba Satellite laptop PCs feature the latest Intel®
Centrino™ 2 processor(1) technology, which
boasts greater wireless connectivity, battery life and performance.
Users will have ample power to run Windows Vista at its full potential
to enjoy Aero graphics, 64-bit(2) environments, and demanding new
applications—without the use of an external
graphics card. This technology will provide Satellite laptop users with
cutting-edge performance on the road with up to five times(3) faster
wireless connectivity and the longer possible battery life.
The latest Intel Centrino 2 technology will be available within the
Toshiba Satellite
P300, Satellite
A300, Satellite
M300 and Satellite
U400 laptop series, which builds upon the Satellite brand’s
solid reputation of quality and performance. Several additional
innovative features help further set the Satellite laptop PCs series
apart, including a built-in
FM Tuner, eSATA
Port, Sleep-and-Charge
USB Ports(4) and Face
Recognition technology, with select models sporting a 64-bit OS
computing option and Toshiba’s
REGZA LINK™ (HDMI-CEC) technology, which
empowers users with instant and automated device configuration and the
ability to control linked HDMI-CEC enabled devices, such as Toshiba’s
REGZA™ HDTVs and a Satellite laptop, with a
single remote.
The new Satellite laptop PCs have a starting price of $749.99(5), and
will be available in early August as a configuration option directly
from Toshiba at www.toshibadirect.com.
