The fact is, there are lots of laptops out there. But if you really want a laptop expert; turn to us―Toshiba. We introduced the first laptop personal computer back in 1985, and we’ve been leading the field ever since with a constant succession of highly advanced, infinitely mobile and super-reliable notebooks. You might even say we defined and keep redefining the category. So why trust an important buying decision like this to anyone but the pros.
Pursuing the next big idea:
capital you can't wait to spread the wealth. That's why we're proud to take an active role in developing the next generation of thinkers and leaders. What's more, Toshiba lends its support to many charitable programs motivating young people worldwide to learn more about math and science. In North America that includes the Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision Awards program for students and the non-profit, grant-giving Toshiba America Foundation. Since 1992, more than 245,000 students from across the U.S.A and Canada have competed in Exploravision.
We take a good look around:
At Toshiba, "the world around you" ranges far beyond four office walls. When you work here, social awareness is simply part of the job description. For that reason we encourage, cultivate and reward good corporate citizenry throughout the company with many forward-thinking programs like the UN Global Compact and the ASHITA Awards. Not to boast, but we'd like to think our employees are among the most world-minded people on the planet.
A green light for preserving the Blue Planet:
We believe that making the world a better place starts by caring for the Earth itself. So we take careful steps to minimize our environmental impact, conserve precious natural resources and support the health of our planet in many different ways—that includes smart product design and procurement, recycling programs and unswerving regulatory compliance too.
Green on the inside:
Thanks to innovative procurement standards, Toshiba products are built responsibly from the ground up. In 2000, Toshiba launched a company-wide initiative to promote the green procurement of manufacturing supplies, including environmentally conscious parts, components and raw materials. The innovative program not only results in greener products; it gives suppliers the incentives and resources needed to improve their environmental practices.

RAM:
if you have the processor which bus speed is 800 bus you must check that it,s ram speed is 800 bus. if you manufacturar give you the 667 bus speed it will not give you the accurate speed according to your laptop processor. so you must ask to your manufacturar that it must use 800 bus speed ram.
VIDEO AND AUDIO:
As we know that most of people like to get high quality result and surroun sound in their laptops. so when you build a new laptop you must be check it. for example normally most of laptop has intel chipest built in graphic card and sound system. but if u like to play high pixel game or watch 3d movies you must select dedicated graphich card like INVIDIA or ATI.
BATTERY LIFE:
Most of laptops has a 6 CELL battery in toshiba laptops. But after some time it,s time reduce to only 1 hour. so i advised you to always buy a 9 Cell battery with toshiba laptops. so you dont have any problem in future.

And while this brand is not our absolute favorite in any one category, it tied with Sony for a solid bronze medal due to its consistently better-than-average performance in every category. The manufacturer hit the ball out of the park with its best-in-class not book, and we expect the company to keep innovating.
Performance & Reviews:

Value-priced notebooks didn’t really stand out, either. The coveted 4.5 star performance of the company’s mini NB205, however, kept the company in the mix.
Design: 11 out of 15 points:
Now Toshiba laptops are available in different color design Toshiba takes risks with unique finishes and colors, which we appreciate. The mini NB305 remains one of the most attractive notebooks by far, and the new Satellite E205 has a futuristic look we love. However, some of Toshiba’s systems are so glossy they pick up fingerprints faster than a CSI.
Keyboard & Touchpad: 12 out of 15 points:
Coming in third for this category, Toshiba’s keyboard and touchpad combo on its notebooks take the cake. Plus, most other systems made by the company are ergonomically sound, with good size and responsiveness when it comes to input methods.

Toshiba really upped the ante this year when it came to preloaded consumer and business apps. We appreciated the company’s helpful utilities, such as Dashboard and Real-time, and PC Health Monitor.
Innovation: 4 out of 5 points:
In a dead heat with Acer, Toshiba’s Sleep-and-Charge USB ports and implementation of Intel’s Wireless Display technology put this brand in second place with its useful and meaningful innovations. Not they provide more USB ports with innovative features in tangible product.
