Toshiba refreshes Satellite L Series with Intel's latest processors
Toshiba's CES laptop flood continues with a refresh of its L Series Satellites, including the 13.3-inch L635, the 14-inch L645, the 15.6-inch L655 and the 17.3-inch L675. All models will be available in a variety of colors in the Helios pattern you've come to know and love from Toshiba. Spec-wise, you'll have a choice of Intel or AMD dual-core CPUs, including Intel's Core i3-380M, Core i5-480M, and the 2nd generation Core i3-2310M and Core i5-2410M on the L650 models. AMD options include the dual-core Athlon II and Turion II, and both dual and quad-core Phenom II CPUs. All models can pack up to 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM, and up to 640GB hard drives, plus they all have built-in webcams. Select models will also boast Bluetooth and HDMI out. The refreshed Satellite L Series laptops will be available some time in the first half of this year, for prices ranging from $469.99 to $849.99. %Gallery-112721%
Toshiba Satellite L600 and C600 series laptops think of the struggling students
We're starting to think Toshiba's got more Satellites than NASA, but for those that can't squeeze together the cash for a new A or M Series laptop, Tosh has its L600 or C600 machines standing close by. The 13-inch L635, 14-inch L645, 15.6-inch L655, and 17.3-inch L675 have all been remodeled with that new Fusion X2 finish, which looks glossy from afar but is actually fingerprint resistant. They don't get the new chiclet keyboards, but the flush keys are smooth and there are dedicated right / left mouse buttons under the touchpad. Internally there's your pick of Intel Core i3, Core i5 CPUs and AMD Athlon II, Turion II dual-core, Phenom II Triple Core and Quad Core processors. While the entry level $515 model won't be equipped with the discrete ATI Radeon 5145 GPU, it'll be a configuration option. Lower down on the spectrum you've got the 14-inch C645 and 15.6-inch C655, which are your typical set of bargain basement laptops. Both are available with Intel Celeron and Pentium processors as well as AMD's Athlon V120 chip. Not the most attractive pair of laptops we've seen, but it's hard to complain when they start at $449. Check them out for yourself in the gallery below, and then hit the break for more details in the full press release. %Gallery-95179% %Gallery-95199%
