Will Toshiba be the next company that will release a laptop computer equipped with the longest laptop battery life comparable with Dell Latitude E6400’s 19 hours and HP EliteBook 6930p’s 24 hours battery? At the moment we can’t guess that, but the company has just released a new laptop model on the market offering 5.5 hours of continuous operating time, which will be available exclusively at Best Buy for the US customers.
This collaboration will bring the Toshiba Satellite E105, a 14.1-inch laptop with a stylish design sporting a trendy metallic finish, inspired by the store’s customers and Toshiba market research results.
According to the surveys, people have a big picture of their ideal laptop, and this should have a longer battery life, thin and lightweight design, long warranty, and backlight for the keyboard for low light conditions. I like how these sound, because these are the aspects I think of when searching for a notebook computer.
Toshiba Satellite E105 weights 5 pounds, is 1.2 inches thin and very slim. It actually looks great for both women and men, plus that it comes with a 2-year international warranty, 30 days Geek Squad support, and 15 months of Norton Anti Virus protection.
Coming back to the external design, we need to add that it also has an elegant Mocha pattern and Toshiba’s Fusion finish encountered at the laptop models too. The rubber feet ensure it won’t slip off the desk, while the Feather-Touch LED multimedia control buttons give the user access to different functionalities accompanied by a nice lights show.
Inside, the laptop features Windows Vista Home Premium operating system, 4GB RAM memory, an Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 processor, 320GB S-ATA HDD storage, a DVD Super Multi drive with LabelFlash, the Mobile Intel graphics Media accelerator 4500MHD graphics card, Intel Wi-Fi 802.11(a/g/n) wireless connectivity module, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, and built-in web camera with microphone for video conferences.
The system has a retail price set at $1,249.99.
“Toshiba’s aim is to produce high quality laptops with features that consumers look for, and our combined effort with Best Buy has helped us further realize this goal,” said Carl Pinto, vice president of product development, Digital Products Division, Toshiba America Information Systems. “The Satellite E105 is a special laptop, and we are delighted with the result and the opportunity to bring this impressive machine to market.”
