Toshiba recently unveiled their entire line of notebook products coming for the back-to-school season and there's definitely something for everyone. During a preview event a few weeks ago, we got to see new netbooks, consumer portables of all sizes as well as some of their high-end gaming notebooks plus an impressive 3D desktop replacement.
The Toshiba mini NB555D (above) starts at $349 and offers performance wherever you are. Cutting-edge AMD processing provides HD graphics and multitasking capability, while Harman/Kardon speakers and Dolby Advanced Audio technology combine to deliver booming sound never previously possible on a netbook.
A 10.1” (25.7cm) Toshiba TruBrite display with LED backlighting renders crystal clear detail, and HDMI connectivity provides compatibility with HDTVs for big-screen playback. 250GB of storage offers plenty of space for movies and music, and Toshiba USB Sleep-and-Charge technology enables you to charge devices even when the PC is turned off. A textured design also comes in a variety colors – providing standout style to match the exceptional performance. Handy dandy.
At the high end, the latest Qosmio gaming desktop replacements boasts 2nd-generation Intel Core processor, plus NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M graphics with 1.5GB of DDR5 discrete graphics memory, plus battery-saving Optimus technology.
This features a brilliant 17.3” diagonal HD+ TruBrite display, premium harman/kardon speakers with a subwoofer, sound enhancement technologies from Dolby starting at $1,600.
