Toshiba and Best Buy Team for Laptop PC
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Toshiba's Digital Products Division (DPD), a division of Toshiba
America Information Systems, unveiled its new 14.1-inch Satellite E105
laptop, exclusively available at Best Buy stores nationwide.
The laptop offers a sleek new design and features directly inspired by
Best Buy customer feedback and Toshiba market research. The companies
worked together as part of Best Buy's Blue Label series, to meet the
specific requests for what consumers want from their consumer
electronic devices.
In a survey conducted by Best Buy to find what its customers want in
their "ideal laptop," it was discovered that consumers wished most for
longer battery life, a thin and lightweight design, a superb warranty,
and the ability to see the keyboard in poor lighting conditions like on
an airplane or in the family room during movie night. This survey
helped validate the research that Toshiba frequently conducts to help
ensure that it best serves the desires of consumers.
To meet these desires the Satellite E105 offers up to 5.5 hours of
battery life, which exceeds what other standard equipped 14.1-inch
laptops are traditionally capable. Weighing less than 5 pounds, the
Satellite E105 is lighter than most in its class, and at only
1.2-inches thin, is slimmer too. Also, by incorporating an intuitive
backlit keyboard users have a creative solution for working in a
variety of low light conditions. Each laptop comes with a standard
two-year Toshiba international limited warranty, 30 days of free Geek
Squad support, and a 15-month Norton Anti Virus subscription to ensure
dependable long-term system performance.
"Toshiba's aim is to produce high quality laptops with features that
consumers look for, and our combined effort with Best Buy has helped us
further realize this goal," said Carl Pinto, vice president of product
development, Digital Products Division, Toshiba America Information
Systems. "The Satellite E105 is a special laptop, and we are delighted
with the result and the opportunity to bring this impressive machine to
market."
The Satellite E105 is loaded with Windows Vista 64-bit(4) Home Premium,
4GB of RAM(5) and an Intel Core 2 mobile processor(6), accommodating
users who require maximum performance for strenuous processing hungry
activities, including multimedia activities such as watching movies,
streaming online video and music.
The Satellite E105 has achieved a Silver status through the Green
Electronic Council's Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool
(EPEAT), which reduces the amount of harmful e-waste commonly found
within consumer electronic products.
