It is a well known fact that Dell and Hewlett Packard (HP) are two dominant players in the laptop market. But come one let us not underestimate the performance of the Laptops and notebooks from other manufacturers as well. Companies like HCL, Lenova and Toshiba are coming up with some exciting models.
Toshiba is one company that has been underplaying in this market. I personally feel that they come out with some of the best performance oriented laptops. After a worldwide launch of the Toshiba Portege R700 slim business laptop, Toshiba India has decided to bring the lappie to India as well. Generally the problem we face with laptops is that it gets heated up on excessive usage. Now to do away that problem, the Portege has a 13.3. inch screen and boasts of the “Airflow Cooling Technology”. This brilliant technology co-developed with Intel allows the Toshiba to sport an Intel Core i3/ i5 processor.
Apart from that the Portege R700 comes with a 8GB of RAM and Toshiba claims that the laptop can run up to eight hours on a single battery charge. The Toshiba also has a built-in optical drive that has a “Hard Drive Impact Sensor” . This sensor will protect the hard drive from any kinds of shocks and rough usage. With such technology implmented in this laptop, the pricing of the Toshiba Portege R700 is fairly competitive between the Rs. 65,000 to Rs. 75,000 range depending on the system specifications.

Had enough…no…ok read on!!! Asus is also planning to launch a 10-inch Tablet-style netbook this year. Now this is what I call competition. So many Tablet PCs ….Looks like the consumers will be spoilt for choice.
