With Windows 7, power-efficient Intel ultra-low voltage processors, and hard drive protection with 3D motion sensors, Toshiba’s ultra-thin Slim series have the performance, flexibility and functionality that consumers have come to expect from standard-sized notebook PCs, yet in a highly portable package.

“These ultra-slim Notebook PCs bridge the gap between netbooks, which are optimized for portability and content consumption, and full performance, regular-sized notebook PCs,” she added.

The new Slim series will be available in two screen sizes and various color options. The PORTÉGÉ T130 features a 13.3-inch Clear SuperView 16:9 widescreen display and will be available with Toshiba’s Fusion Finish in Glossy Precious Black, Glossy Iron Red, and Glossy Pearl White.

Designed to be stylish both in and out, Toshiba’s Fusion Finish design extends inside the Notebook PC, around the keyboard, touch pad and the display.

The PORTÉGÉ Notebook PCs feature full-sized keyboards and full-sized Multi Touch Pads with Gesture Control, enabling greater flexibility to browse and control what’s happening onscreen with intuitive gesture commands.

Running on Windows 7 and boasting ultra-fast DDR3 memory and lots of expansion ports including HDMI-out, the new Slim series of PORTÉGÉ Notebook PCs have the power and speed to handle the day’s tasks or evening’s entertainment. They also have built-in wireless LAN and Bluetooth.

The PORTÉGÉ Notebook PCs also include a three-axis monitoring system for the Hard Drive Impact Sensor that helps guard data from the daily bumps of mobile life and a USB port with Sleep-and-Charge technology, which enables users to charge various consumer electronics, even when the notebook is turned off.

Additionally the Toshiba Power Saving Eco utility helps to reduce power consumption, and makes users aware of the power their Notebook PC is consuming.

Toshiba Group, a Corporate Citizen of the Planet Earth, is committed to realizing a better environment. Guided by “Toshiba Group Environmental Vision 2050” the Group is implementing measures to boost environmental efficiency by 10 times in FY2050, against the benchmark of FY2000.
