Toshiba announced its
Satellite E series ultrathin notebooks 14-inch Satellite E45T and the 15.6-inch
Satellite E55t/E55Dt will feature touchscreens and will be available with
either fourth-generation Intel Core processors (Haswell) or AMD A6-series
(Kabini) CPUs
New Satellite E series
notebooks will take design cues from the company’s luxury Kirabook, except
they're made of aluminum instead of pressed magnesium, and the bottom isn't
made of metal but rather, textured plastic. The screen resolution is also
lower, at 1,366 x 768; these are middle-of-the-road machines, after all. On the
bright side, they all support 802.11ac WiFi -- of a surprise on otherwise humdrum
systems like these.
The E45T will be with a Core
i5 Haswell processor and a 500GB hard drive paired with an SSD. Perhaps most
interesting, though, is that the E45t will come with Dragon Assistant on board
for simple voice commands (think: shutting down the computer, doing a web
search, controlling multimedia playback, et cetera). You can expect to find
that next week, on August 4th, with a suggested retail price of $818.
The 15-inch version,
meanwhile, will be offered with either a Core i5 processor and touchscreen
(that's the E55t) or a quad-core A6 APU. There are actually two AMD models: one
configuration comes with a touchscreen (that would be the E55Dt) and one has a
non-touch panel (that's the E55D). Strangely, the non-touch model also offers
lesser storage; that has a 750GB HDD, while the touch version goes up to a full
terabyte.
