Toshiba today announced the launch of its Satellite R800 series, a new range of slim, light and high-spec notebooks targeted at consumers. The series includes the 33.8cm (13.3″) Satellite R830, the 35.6cm (14.0”) Satellite R840 and the 39.6cm (15.6”) Satellite R850. Thanks to a sophisticated heat management system Toshiba has managed to integrate Intel’s latest full-performance CPUs into the slim casings.
The Satellite R800 series models are estimated to be available during the second quarter 2011 throughout Middle East and Africa.
“The new Satellite R800 series include slim, lightweight and fully-featured high-quality notebooks that are affordable for the masses. It offers an unparalleled blend of innovative technologies, the latest connectivity tools, high quality, durability, comprehensive configuration and a remarkable price performance ratio.” said Santosh Varghese, Regional General Manager, Computer Systems Division, Toshiba Gulf.
Toshiba made use of various innovative technologies. A sophisticated cooling system optimises heat removal and allows using the latest powerful Intel CPUs while keeping fan noise at a minimum. The casing’s honeycomb structure in certain areas of R830’s and R840’s casing and chassis pillars on the 35.6cm (14.0”) and 39.6cm (15.6”) devices embedded into the notebook’s interior makes the Satellite R800 series devices highly robust.
Protection of the electronic and mechanical components is supported by either a highly resistant magnesium alloy casing (R830) or a new High Stiffness Resin casing (R840 and R850).
