Toshiba Announces UK Availability of its Satellite Notebooks [A500, U500, L500 and L550 Eco-Friendly Laptop Options]

Toshiba announced today that it would begin selling its Satellite line of notebook computers in the UK sometime in the latter part of July. The Satellite line includes the A500, U500, L500, and L550 and they are crammed with user-friendly features that should provide some hefty competition in an already crowded market.

The Toshiba Satellite notebook range offers the following features:

Energy Efficiency

The new Satellite range is Energy Star 5.0 ready and all models feature an Eco Utility tool – a software application, developed by Toshiba, allowing users to easily manage the power saving configuration and compare power consumption when running in eco mode compared to the conventional power plan.

Multi-Touch Control

Toshiba’s new Multi-Touch control pad, available on Satellite A500 and U500 models, allows users greater control over their PCs using just the trackpad. It provides the ability to use fingers to pinch, swipe or rotate using the trackpad alone.

Stylish Design

The A500 features a unique Toshiba Fusion finish based on In-Mold Rolling (IMR) technology; the U500 has an elegant Luxe Brown finish on the interior and exterior giving it an updated, modern look.

All models of the Toshiba Satellite line of laptop computers offer an ultra-compact body and a 13.3? WXGA Toshiba TruBrite display with a resolution of 1,280 x 800. They are powered by Intel CPUs and ATI Mobility graphics processing technology (on selected models). They will be available in late July with the base model L500 starting at 449GBP ($730).
