Op ZDNet kun je een verhaaltje lezen over een aantal nieuwe laptops die Toschiba binnenkort wil uitbrengen. De Portege 4000 en Tecra 9000 zijn onder andere voorzien van IEEE 802.11b met 128 bit encryptie, Bluetooth, Secure Digital media, ethernet, modem en FireWire verbindingen. Toshiba werkt voor een deel van de draadloze features samen met Cisco:
The new wireless options help Toshiba differentiate itself from competitors such as Dell Computer. While it was once the notebook market share leader, Toshiba has fallen on hard times of late. Dell has intensified its focus on corporate sales, a Toshiba mainstay, and used manufacturing efficiencies to cut prices and boost market share.
But Toshiba claims technological superiority on several fronts. Aironet adds capabilities such as encryption not present in other 802.11b products, while Bluetooth and the Secure Digital media slot allow users to share data in different ways. The media slot, which Toshiba says is the first of its kind in a notebook, allows consumers to share data with devices such as PDAs or digital cameras.
GiLeX, thanks!
