What is a laptop? Well, a laptop also referred to as a notebook is a essentially a small personal computer for the purpose of mobility. The first portable computer was made in 1981 and since then, laptops have become normal. after that time every body demand laptop because it become necessity of every person Laptops have become smaller, more powerful and less in weight over the years and have risen in popularity due to the relatively inexpensive price tags.Laptops have a few classifications such as budget, gaming, and subnotebook and so on. Subnotebooks are laptops designed around portability. They are extremely light weight, very small and they have a very long battery life about three hours or more then this. Budget laptops offers several features but the reason they are considered budget is because the build quality and most importantly, does not have the fastest and most advanced technologies in them. Companies provide what they feel is adequate equipment needed to justify what there intended market is looking for.
Gaming laptops:
These are more powerful then traditional laptops and its demand is more then other laptops because it is more powerful and efficient and every game can easily run on this type of laptop because it has more ram and processor or more powerful then other laptops are considered to be the high end of laptops.
Gaming laptops features:
The fastest processors, fastest video cards, high quality sound cards and most expensive led panels built on the laptop. These laptops are engineered to handle just about any workload thrown at them since gaming in today’s age are so advanced, it requires a fast computer to handle them.
Common feature in laptop and personal computer:
Laptops offer everything that a regular desktop pc provides. Due to this fact, more laptops are being purchased rather then full desktop pc. Laptops have their advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage for the laptop over a desktop pc is its portability as being able to bring your computer anywhere you'd like is a major plus for many people who are on the go. The disadvantage for laptops is that they can quickly become outdated and upgrading features on your laptop for the most part is non existent. Also, since laptops are so small, most features of the laptop are integrated right into the motherboard of the laptop so if one part fails such as a network card or your integrated video card, you need to replace the entire motherboard which can become very costly. A desktop pc's major advantage is the fact that its easily upgradeable as parts can easily be removed and replaced with different parts in case a product becomes outdated or no longer works. Also, desktop Pc’s are for the most part much faster then most laptops on the market. The major downfall for desktop pc is the strength of the laptop, portability.
Is Laptop right for you?
Is a laptop right for you? Well it all depends on your life style. Are you a gamer? Are you constantly on the go? Are you a casual pc user who never plays games but just surfs the World Wide Web, does homework and types documents? If you are a gamer or need excessive processing power for certain work like graphic designing or video editing, a desktop pc would be best for you. If you are constantly on the go or are just using the a computer for general use from time to time then absolutely go with a laptop.

Toshiba Celebrating 25th Anniversary of the T1100 Laptop with Social Media-Based Contests
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.

Toshiba portage R500-19U ultra-portable notebook review
These laptop are especially of business people and these are more powerful then other laptop these have more power then other models .its specification are some how these like The screen itself is a 12.1in widescreen affair with a 1,280 x 800 resolution, so anyone who finds the Sony TZ12VN's 11.1 screen slightly too small, may well prefer the larger physical size and lower resolution of the R500.
Another very important part of a notebook is the keyboard, and here again, the R500 doesn't quite deliver. The keyboard definitely looks the part, finished in very similar matte silver to the chassis, and there's even a decent amount of travel to the keys and a solid break to spring your finger back into position. However, there is an excessive amount of flex present, and the keyboard literally rattles when typing. It's the right side of the keyboard that rattles, and it sounds like it's simply not mounted properly, since there is no rattling from the left side. In fact, the whole right side of the keyboard flexes when you press a key there, while the left feels considerably more solid, though still flaxy.
On the plus side, Toshiba has got the layout of the keyboard mostly right. For a start, the Ctrl key is located at the bottom left of the keyboard, where it should be - this makes it easy for anyone who uses a lot of keyboard shortcuts. There's also a light set into the Caps Lock key, making it very easy to see when it's active - other notebook manufacturers should take note of that one. Also, the cursor keys are dropped away from the main keyboard to make it easy to access them - although this is offset by the fact that the Page Up and Down keys sit one on top of the other, directly below Return, which is slightly odd.Below the Spacebar is a large touchpad with a widescreen aspect ratio to match the screen. The touchpad is very responsive and makes for fast and accurate pointer manipulation; it also has a very tactile feel to it. As is usually the case these days, the far right side of the touchpad can be used for scrolling vertically through documents.

Toshiba NB100-128
It's difficult to think of a single major notebook manufacturer who hasn't also brought out a netbook by now. Unfortunately, in their haste to get on the mini-mobile-PC bandwagon, many of them have sacrificed considerations like ergonomics. Initially, it would appear Toshiba's NB100 netbook is yet another casualty of this trend, but let's find out how it actually holds up in this and other regards.Toshiba offers several different versions of its netbook, being available with a choice of Ubuntu or Windows XP Home, 512MB or 1024MB of memory and hard drive sizes of 80 or 160GB. Of course, core components like an Intel N270 Atom processor running at 1.60GHz and Intel integrated GMA 950 graphics remain constants. There's also a selection of colours available, though unfortunately these are tied to specific configurations.
Our particular model is the NB100-128, a Windows XP version which features a Champagne Gold finish and is configured with 1GB of RAM and a 120GB hard drive.
In terms of extras there's not much here; you don't get a carrying sleeve as with the Samsung NC10 or MSI Wind. What you do get is a helpful illustrated Quickstart guide, an extensive user manual and a Toshiba Recovery DVD including Windows XP Home Edition. Though the usefulness of this latter item with a machine that has no optical drive is arguable, it's better to have it than not, especially considering external USB-powered DVD-Rewriters are only £50 these days.

Toshiba Tecra A11 Notebook: Business-Class
Toshiba Tecra A11 Notebook: Business Class
Often, when targeting business professionals, laptop PC makers seem to focus so much on getting their products perceived as reliable or cost-effective that performance seems to become a secondary consideration. But the best business–class systems strike just the right balance, offering both solid performance and peace of mind. And with the Tecra A11, Toshiba is looking to show us that they've got that balance down to a Toshiba laptop for business class.
The Tecra A11 is a desktop replacement that's a little more portable than many of the breed, thanks to a 15.6- instead of 17-inch or larger screen -- but a high-resolution screen, rest assured, at 1,440 by 900 with native 720p HD support. Weighing in at as little as 5.6 pounds depending on configuration options, it measures 9.9 by 14.7 by 1.5 inches. So it's not the slimmest 15-inch-class laptop you're going to come across, but it's not the bulkiest, either.
And at a price of $1,349 for the top-of-the-line Tecra A11-S3540 model tested, Toshiba certainly packs a lot into the package. That starts with the Intel Core i7-620M, a 2.66GHz dual-core CPU that is paired with the Intel Mobile QM57 Express chipset, has 4MB of Smart Cache, accelerates to 3.33GHz for single-threaded workloads thanks to Turbo Boost Technology, and pretends to be a quad-core for multithreaded workloads thanks to Hyper-Threading.
The S3540 also comes configured with 4GB of DDR3-1066 memory (upgradable to 8GB, though you'll have to replace the included DIMMs to max out the memory). As far as storage goes, our Tecra came with a 7,200-rpm 320GB SATA hard drive that skimped neither on space nor performance. The included optical drive is a DVD Super Multi drive that supports any format you can think of short of Blue-ray.
We ran the daily battery test strain using a constant stream of audio files and video files as well as basic word documents and internet browsing. It stayed alive for a respectable 3 hours and 50 minutes, but dropped to just under 2 hours when playing a DVD. This isn't terribly impressive for normal usage, or compared to the competition, but do keep in mind the Toshiba Tecra A11 has almost a full pound advantage in weight over models like the Lenovo ThinkPad T400.

Conclusion
At a price tickling the $1500 mark, the Tecra A11 is a bit more spending than a close competitor like the Lenovo ThinkPad T400. It packs business class looks and comes loaded with almost everything you might need. While it may not be a lean and mean 12 or 13.3 inch form factor, the A11 is a very competitive with its 4.3 lb, 14.1 inch frame. Is it a bit more expensive than others hitting the mark? Yes - but I feel it's a very good contender to the Sony's and Mac books out there to carry a good brand following from Toshiba.
It plays fairly well on the road, has business casual looks, and performs like an rock star at the super bowl halftime show. I'm not sold on the hard drive space, and it could do justice for a slightly better resolution to match it's dedicated GPU. I suppose just make sure to keep a spare battery or power outlet nearby and I'd be safe to guess you'll stay productive - and if you planned on purchasing this unit for playing DVD's...you better tell your boss that before complaining to me about it.

Toshiba Tecra R10 business laptop
Toshiba Tecra R10 business laptop
While not particularly outstanding in one way or another, the Tecra R10 is a solid, well featured business laptop that rides the middle of the road in most aspects.
While not particularly outstanding in one way or another, the Tecra R10 is a solid, well featured business laptop that rides the middle of the road in most aspects.
Overview
Toshiba and business go well together, they make business line notebooks at a very competitive business price. We recently got our hands on the Tecra R10 from Toshiba and put it through the paces that any professional might want or need to do. It takes some design cues from the more expensive, consumer oriented Portage R600, but still features a simple ‘business class’ design. Despite being ‘business’ oriented, Toshiba was kind enough to pack it full of features, including a discrete Nvidia Quadro NVS 150M graphics processor with 128MB of dedicated memory. Let’s dive in and take a look at Toshiba’s Tecra R10.
Design
Classy. Simple. Uncluttered. There isn't anything on the Tecra I found overly annoying. There's no god-awful piercing LED lightens, there's no silly speaker adornments - it keeps it simple. Heck, even the power button is simple and doesn't light up, something I haven't seen for a while now; that is truly old school, and I like it.
The sleek tapered design for the LCD lid is welcome, it adds a very nice touch of eco-modernism to the design. The laptop itself is pretty thin as well and being clad in an aluminum-like paint scheme, it's not quite Tuxedo overkill for business, but what I'd call well dressed business casual. Upon opening the Tecra R10, you will find an ample palm rest and a matte black bezel surrounding the LCD. About the only thing that comes close to annoying is the mouse keys which are plastic chromed, which collects fingerprints but is not the worst we've seen on recent laptops. Kudos are deserved for matching the keyboard to the same color as the laptop as well - and only having 4 small stickers adorning the keypad.
Size and Weight
The Tecra is Toshiba’s business oriented thinner and lighter lineup, and it does an outstanding job at maintaining that image. It's not as thin as they come and it's not the featherweight champion, but I didn't have any issues picking up this 4.3 lb 14.1 inch laptop. Less than 5 lb is key for me and having both an integrated optical drive and decent sized screen while staying light is a testament to Toshiba’s engineers. It feels sturdy when you pick it up - and no supermodel dimensions adorn it as it is a bit bigger at 13.3×9.9×1.1-inches
Keyboard
A laptop with a bad keyboard might as well be a bicycle with square wheels. The Tecra R10's keyboard does a good job of keeping up to the task of being responsive, tactile, and quiet yet firm It did suffer a bit of flex when I observed my stubby nubs pounding at the nice sized keys, but it is acceptable and the 85 keys with nice spacing are appreciated. No fancy backlighting, no fancy number pad - the keyboard works as it should. I can't complain about the layout - it all seems simple and very thought out, except the left side. I'm not sure why they chose to have the power button and quick launch / info buttons on the left instead of the top, but I think they should have moved them there and made even more room for this nice keyboard.
I love that if you press the Caps Lock key has an LED that lights up to let you know when it is activated, taking the confusion away if you’re typing in the dark. The simple Toshiba Quick launch key beneath the power button is also very subtle, yet I found it strangely awesome and effective (albeit in the wrong place in my opinion). One tap and you have all your business vitals at your finger tip to enable / disable. Having page up and page down right next to the arrow keys was almost a hit and miss affair, but as soon as I got used to them, they were awesome to have available for quick scrolling and not having to wonder what combination or key I need to hit to get down that 100 page document awaiting my calling (income taxes anyone?). I guess if you had to nit-pick and use them a lot like I do, then it’s fair to note that home and end are in somewhat illogical places and require a Fn key command. Well, you can't win them all.
Touchpad
If I had to name my biggest beef about laptops in general, it's with track pads - some are good, some are horrible, and some are ok. Very rarely do we get a "very good" track pad - and unfortunately, the R10 doesn't get that award. There was too much lag with the cursor for my taste and it is turned off when the system is put into sleep mode, making it a 3-4 second delay to get things going. The buttons are relatively quiet and offer good feedback however, hundreds times better than the E105 buttons I reviewed.
Display Quality
Instant notice - we're not in the frizzled consumer crowd - no, this Tecra sports a matte screen. Although the colors may not be as rich, I prefer matte screens for business use as it cuts down annoying glare considerably, and at 1280x800 resolutions, you get a good bang for the buck for pixels in this 14.1" widescreen. The brightness was more than enough, though I wish there were a bit more steps in the lighting scheme as I noticed a very drastic change from 50% to 60% brightness. I would say, if you have a lamp nearby (like I do now) you could type relatively easily on about 30% brightness. Pumping it up to 100% after that was almost like stabbing my eyes as it was very, very bright; however it will be needed if battling a sunlit bus/train/plane/car ride. Color washout wasn't too bad and horizontal viewing angles were much better than expected. The top of the LCD bezel is a bit bigger than I'd want, but understandable because it's tapered and houses the 1.3MP webcam, which is perfect for Skype business chats. I do have a bit of beef with the hinges on the R10, as they are quite big and a bit bulky, but they felt sturdy enough and didn't offer much flex.
Connectivity
The Tecra R10 is pretty well stacked for connectivity, about on par for the business thin & light class. In particular, I have always LOVED the hardware scroll dial for the volume - keep it up Toshiba!
The left side houses a VGA port, 2 USB 2.0 Ports (one also doubles as an SATA connection), lock slot, mic input, headphone output, and that awesome volume dial.
The front is simple, a lone SD card reader. Unfortunately it is not a multi-card reader, but SD is very widely used today from digital cameras to cell phones to GPS.
The right side features the optical drive, wireless switch, another USB port, Ethernet port, and power port...but wait, cleverly hidden is an Express Card slot as well! Nice!
The rear is as simple as I like it, with nothing there. And for good reason as the LCD hinges push the LCD down to cover that area when in use, making any ports there inaccessible.

I love that if you press the Caps Lock key has an LED that lights up to let you know when it is activated, taking the confusion away if you’re typing in the dark. The simple Toshiba Quick launch key beneath the power button is also very subtle, yet I found it strangely awesome and effective (albeit in the wrong place in my opinion). One tap and you have all your business vitals at your finger tip to enable / disable. Having page up and page down right next to the arrow keys was almost a hit and miss affair, but as soon as I got used to them, they were awesome to have available for quick scrolling and not having to wonder what combination or key I need to hit to get down that 100 page document awaiting my calling (income taxes anyone?). I guess if you had to nit-pick and use them a lot like I do, then it’s fair to note that home and end are in somewhat illogical places and require a Fn key command. Well, you can't win them all.
Touchpad
If I had to name my biggest beef about laptops in general, it's with track pads - some are good, some are horrible, and some are ok. Very rarely do we get a "very good" track pad - and unfortunately, the R10 doesn't get that award. There was too much lag with the cursor for my taste and it is turned off when the system is put into sleep mode, making it a 3-4 second delay to get things going. The buttons are relatively quiet and offer good feedback however, hundreds times better than the E105 buttons I reviewed.
Display Quality
Instant notice - we're not in the frizzled consumer crowd - no, this Tecra sports a matte screen. Although the colors may not be as rich, I prefer matte screens for business use as it cuts down annoying glare considerably, and at 1280x800 resolutions, you get a good bang for the buck for pixels in this 14.1" widescreen. The brightness was more than enough, though I wish there were a bit more steps in the lighting scheme as I noticed a very drastic change from 50% to 60% brightness. I would say, if you have a lamp nearby (like I do now) you could type relatively easily on about 30% brightness. Pumping it up to 100% after that was almost like stabbing my eyes as it was very, very bright; however it will be needed if battling a sunlit bus/train/plane/car ride. Color washout wasn't too bad and horizontal viewing angles were much better than expected. The top of the LCD bezel is a bit bigger than I'd want, but understandable because it's tapered and houses the 1.3MP webcam, which is perfect for Skype business chats. I do have a bit of beef with the hinges on the R10, as they are quite big and a bit bulky, but they felt sturdy enough and didn't offer much flex.
Connectivity
The Tecra R10 is pretty well stacked for connectivity, about on par for the business thin & light class. In particular, I have always LOVED the hardware scroll dial for the volume - keep it up Toshiba!
The left side houses a VGA port, 2 USB 2.0 Ports (one also doubles as an SATA connection), lock slot, mic input, headphone output, and that awesome volume dial.
The front is simple, a lone SD card reader. Unfortunately it is not a multi-card reader, but SD is very widely used today from digital cameras to cell phones to GPS.
The right side features the optical drive, wireless switch, another USB port, Ethernet port, and power port...but wait, cleverly hidden is an Express Card slot as well! Nice!
The rear is as simple as I like it, with nothing there. And for good reason as the LCD hinges push the LCD down to cover that area when in use, making any ports there inaccessible.

Its all about Toshiba
Toshiba Tecra A4
Widescreen is still one of the flavors of the month for notebooks and plenty of users are opting to banish boring old 4:3 aspect ratio LCD panels to the land of wind and ghosts.
Toshiba has come out with a brilliant widescreen notebook with some nifty features. While ASUS's W5 on page ^^ is small and speedy, Toshiba takes a slower, more relaxed look at computing. The two are fairly similar on the feature front, with only 200MHz separating the two on the CPU side.
The performance results are predictable, with ASUS having the edge; Toshiba Tecra A4 returned 2835 points in PCMark04, an indication of its competence as a good productivity and media notebook. The gap opened a little in synthetic graphics testing, with the Toshiba managing only 3761 3DMarks -- not exceptional, but enough for a reasonable frame rate in last generation games.
The bundled multi-format DVD burner is ideal for home or business file archiving or creating home movies in conjunction with the 4-pin side mounted FireWire port. A front-mounted wireless switch means you can turn the device on and off as required, leaving it off when not in use will help conserve your battery and improve your mobile run time.
Any manufacturer can put together a notebook and sell it, but the bundled goods are usually the standout features. Toshiba includes a recovery disc for users for when things go pear shaped, allowing you to quickly recover your system to factory settings. Also included is Toshiba Assist, an application for helping users with common problems like network configuration, security setting changes, system diagnostics for easy troubleshooting and an optimize menu with access to functions such as formatting removable memory.
Well priced for the amount of notebook being offered, Toshiba continues to break barriers and is offering a solid all-rounder notebook at a very reasonable asking price.
Toshiba to launch Windows and Android tablets
Toshiba has decided that bringing out tablets is the way to continue its sharp increase in sales, and is considering dual screen and Android models.
The company witnessed a 50 per cent surge in US sales in the first quarter of 2010, with the world's fifth biggest PC maker pushing 1.5 million units out of its doors between January and March in the US alone. According to Jeff Barney, the firm's general manager for digital products, the figures were due to a "leveling" of selling prices, which had been decreasing for some time. Lower component costs also helped the firm post the exceptionally favorable figures.
Barney also announced that Toshiba is considering a "variety of form factors" for its slate PCs and even mentioned a dual-screen model that would run Windows 7. Another unit will supposedly have a screen size of "roughly 10-inches", which is pretty much the same as Apple's I pod.
Unlike Apple's overpriced toy, Barney said that prices will be similar to notebooks, but he also said that the models that run Google's Android operating system will be less expensive than those models that have to pay Microsoft's license fee for Windows 7.
Toshiba's enthusiasm for tablet devices apparently is unbounded with Barney stating that the firm sees that there is a market for such devices. Similarly industry thumb twiddles In-stat said that "up to" 50 million of the devices will be shipped in 2014. To help its cause Toshiba also said it is lining up content partners.

Description
The sleek, stylish Tecra A4 offers wide-screen versatility at a very affordable price. Use the 15.4" WXGA display to work spreadsheets and documents side-by-side, or after hours to view movies!
The Tecra A4 also features a powerful Intel Pentium M processor, high speed 802.11 wirelesses LAN and fast one-touch docking. Like all systems in the Tecra line, it's engineered for dependability and long life.
We're set for a confusing time, since few Sonoma laptops will have all of the new platform's features. Most, like the Tecra A4, will mix both old and new technologies
Most, like the Tecra A4, will mix both old and new technologies
Instead of a boxy standard display, the A4 has a 15.4in widescreen TFT. The first resolution offered will be 1,280 x 768 pixels, with higher resolutions and glossy CSV (Clear Super View) to follow. We saw a pin-sharp 1,680 x 1,050 panel. Screen strength and protection is disappointing, however, and the lid lacks rigidity, so care will be required when on the move. The display will be driven by a 64MB ATi Mobility Radeon X300, giving better 3D performance than Intel's integrated graphics.
Good design elements are evident, starting with the keyboard. Toshiba has eliminated the off-centre feel of many widescreen laptops by moving the keyboard to the right. The principle keys are thus closer to the middle of the chassis. Port placement is good too, with side-mounted D-SUB and USB ports, and a volume thumbwheel on the front. Sadly, the A4 bypasses Sonoma's 802.11a/b/g wireless option in favor of b/g, but you do get an Express Card and a Type II PC Card slot.
The Tecra A4 has a lot going for it, including a generous 80GB hard disk, but we'll keep an eye on battery life and screen assembly when retail units arrive. Still, with £1,099 estimated for the top spec, it isn't too expensive, and the range will start at about £799 for a basic Celeron M model.

Sadly, the A4 bypasses Sonoma's 802.11a/b/g wireless option in favor of b/g, but you do get an Express Card and a Type II PC Card slot.
The Tecra A4 has a lot going for it, including a generous 80GB hard disk, but we'll keep an eye on battery life and screen assembly when retail units arrive. Still, with £1,099 estimated for the top spec, it isn't too expensive, and the range will start at about £799 for a basic Celeron M model.
Toshiba’s Portege M750
The new Portege M750-7211, -7212, and -7213 and there prices are $1,279, $1,699, and $1,799 respectively. All three models have a12.1-inch, 1,280x800 displays,160GB hard drives,2GB of RAM,An eSATA port, fingerprint reader, and a four-year warranty. The 4.2-pound 7211 forgoes the touch capability on the display, this is more efficient laptop along with the optical drive, Webcam, and Bluetooth, but the other two systems have these features. Also, you’ll find a 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T6570 processor on the 7211, along with a 5,400-rpm hard drive. The 4.6-pound 7212 comes with a 2.4GHz P8600. It also has a 5,400-rpm hard drive. And finally, the 7213 is just like the 7212, except hat it offers a 2.53GHz T9400 processor and a 7,200-rpm hard drive. Its specification are up to the mark that is required now a days.The Toshiba Portage R500 is a laptop that is light in weight it look obese. I can't begin to describe to you how surreal it is when you pick this machine up - your muscles instinctively gear themselves up to lift, and then realize that this thing weighs nowhere near as much as they were expecting. Put plainly, you'd be hard pushed to find a paper pad and pen that weigh much less than the R500. Toshiba rates this particular version of the R500 at 780g, but the Trusted Reviews scales revealed that it's even lighter than that, weighing it in at a truly stupendous 755gram.

Its processor was Intel 80C86 processor at 9.54 MHz, 1MB RAM of which 384kB could be used for LIM EMS or as a RAM disk, CGA graphics card, one 720Kb 3.5" floppy drive and one 20 MB hard drive some have two some have only one floppy drive MS-DOS 3.30 was included with the laptop. It was the first laptop with a swappable battery pack. Its original price was $6499.
The T1200's hard drive had an unusual 26-pin interface made by JVC, incompatible with ST506/412 or ATA interfaces. Floppy drives were connected using similar 26-pin connectors. The computer had many unique functions, such as Hard RAM - a small part of RAM memory was battery-backed and could be used as non-volatile hard drive. Another function allowed to suspend the system or power control the hard drive (which was still dependent on the hard disk's on/off switch).

Toshiba Satellite
Toshiba Satellite A305-S6916, special edition model with Intel Core 2 Centrino and ATI Radeon HD graphics.
The Toshiba Satellite; is consumer-grade laptop computers. Models in the Satellite family vary greatly, ranging from entry-level models to full-fledged media center-class notebooks. The satellite name was only name of brand nothing more then this. no technical association to terminologies used in "satellite phone/sat phone" or any modes of data transfer via orbital satellites.
The early models did not come with an internal CD-ROM drive, but these eventually came as mobile technology progressed. Such models can easily blocked with an external CD-ROM drive through the parallel port on the back Some Satellites also lacked an internal floppy disk drive, but a port on the side allowed the use of a proprietary external module for such. These machines tended to be smaller in physical size, but yet much thicker than they are today, and unlike today's, which tend to be wider in width and breadth after this some period of time some model come in the market like In Spring 2000 some models came with a 15 inch screen and a built in DVD drive, a 6GB HDD and ran at 500 MHz and ther price was $2400 this was easily affordable with at that time They also had a model called the Satellite Pro. Newer models of the Satellite Pro are still being sold.
