Toshiba's Digital Products Division has just announced a series of promotions for celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the world's first mass-market consumer laptop computer , namely the Toshiba T1100. As a celebration, the company is launching a series of interactive social media contests that invite fans to be creative with Toshiba laptops past and future, for the chance of wining the best Toshiba laptops, which are currently available, as well as cash prizes.
"The Satellite T1100 was the start of a revolution in consumer mobile computing, and we've built on that first with many product innovations since 1985," said Ron Smith, vice president of marketing, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., Digital Products Division. "Twenty-five innovative years can only be recognized with 25 prizes for 25 lucky Toshiba fans."
Since this is the 25th anniversary, the manufacturer intends to honor the milestone with 25
prizes for technology enthusiasts, to be won on the popular social network sites, in the following months.
The very first contest recently launched, named "Quest for the Oldest Toshiba Laptop," on
the Toshiba Facebook Fan page, with participants having to use their Toshiba laptops as the subject of videos or photos, for submission. The winner will be either that who has the oldest Toshiba laptop, or one that is most creative with the content. What is sure is that the prizes include $1,500 cash, and the Toshiba Satellite E205 with Intel Wireless Display or the powerful Qosmio X505.
Now, that is something, knowing that the T1100 laptop was an important milestone, and the
fact that it was introduced one year before I was even born. That sure gives me perspective on time, and how Toshiba contributed to what we are now very used to and maybe couldn't live without. Since then, this company has sold more than 30 million laptops, and continues to do so.
