Toshiba Unveils New Satellite T100 Notebooks

Tweet

Toshiba has taken the covers off of two new notebooks in the Satellite T100 series. The Satellite T100 has been Toshiba’s value line, and the two new computers (the T115 and T135) both fit in fine with their relatives. They’ll both start at below $500 for price.

The T115 has a screen size of 11.6-inches while the T135 has a screen size of 13.3-inches. Both of them will come equipped with AMD dual-core processors. While Intel may be the flashy choice and the more powerful at the high-end, AMD has some quality offerings at the low-end market – which is probably why Toshiba went with them.

You’ll have your choice between AMD Athlon Neo or Turion Neo X2 processors. Likewise, you can opt into the Intel Pentium SU4100 which will, Gizmodo reports, give you 9 hours of battery life. The displays will support a 16:9 aspect ratio and the press release reminds you that it will support “720p output”, which is nothing special for a computer monitor.

Other goodies of these two computers include HDMI-out, a 320GB hard drive, and internal graphics via an ATI Radeon HD card. The touch pad will recognize Multi-Touch commands. The notebooks will weigh either 3.5 or 3.9 pounds and while they won’t compete with the MacBook Air on any awards – Toshiba says they’re both roughly an inch thick when closed.

The notebooks are now shipping, and start at the low, low price of $450. These cheap notebooks are great for anybody who would want something bigger than a netbook but can’t afford a $1,000 Core i7-equipped mobile monstrosity.
