How to find your way

around our range.

There are lots of ways to select a Notebook. The next 8 pages outline the main features of each model in the range. However, these two charts may help you weigh some of the main dimensions of our Notebooks against one another.

What size are you?

Size isn’t everything. But if you’re looking for a smaller Notebook, or if you want one with a very large screen, this chart will help you home in on the right models.

What are you interested in?

The chart shows two key parameters to help you navigate to the right model or range.

The vertical axis.

This maps a continuum from users who are predominantly office workers through to those who are highly mobile – either because they doing a lot of travel or because they’re field workers.

The consequences of increased mobility are:

1.The more mobile you are, the lighter and more streamlined the Notebook needs to be. This may mean being content with a smaller screen, and even sacrificing features like a built-in optical disk drive in order to save weight and space. You’ll find these models – the Portégé R series and the Libretto, for instance, in the top right hand quadrant.

2. The more mobile you are, the tougher the Notebook needs to be.

As you move up the vertical axis, the Notebooks in our range become progressively lighter and more compact. They’re also designed to survive knocks, shocks, drops and spills, and they have increased levels of data security and longer battery lives.

Features also become optimised in the other direction. If you spend your day moving from meeting to meeting, you may be more interested in features that provide the performance and functionality of a desktop computer. The feature set in this direction climaxes with the 15” Tecra S3 and the 17” Satellite Pro P100.

The horizontal axis:

This maps a continuum from initial cost through to total lifetime cost.

Naturally, it’s entirely legitimate to be concerned about initial cost. However, Gartner Group studies have shown this can represent as little as 15% of the total lifetime cost – elements like deployment, support desks, re-qualification and other management costs make up the remainder.

At Toshiba, we work closely with customers to identify these costs and develop platforms that reduce them. If you are interested in these features, focus on those models towards the right hand side of the chart - the Tecra M and S, and the Portégé range.
