(Along with being the leader in mobile technology, we’re also quite the trendsetter.)

New Satellite Laptop Styling — Fusion™ Finish

New Satellite Laptop Styling - Fusion™ Finish

New Toshiba Satellite® laptops do more than just make your life easier and more enjoyable. They make a real statement too—the moment you walk in, thanks to a whole new ensemble of design features guaranteed to turn heads and start a conversation.

Brilliant Fusion™ finish
They’ll see you way across the classroom, coffee shop or conference room when you raise the lid and show off the gorgeous new high-gloss surface on your Satellite® laptop. After all, an advanced Toshiba notebook should be more than just a way to make mobile life easier. It should be a reflection of you too.

Striking Horizon design pattern
Think of a room packed with people wearing plain white, grey or black shirts, when you arrive decked out in your dashing pin-striped suit. Then you’ll understand how much attention you’ll get with the finely striped Horizon design pattern on your new Satellite® notebook PC. It really stands out in a crowd.

Flush-mounted touchpad
Run your fingertips across the smooth, shiny palm rest of your new Satellite® laptop and what do you encounter? Nary a bump. That’s because we’ve recessed the touchpad to give your notebook a more streamlined look, and to give you more comfort when you’re clicking or going crazy with that cursor.

Feather-touch multimedia control pad
Separate multimedia buttons let you launch your favorite entertainment right away. But with their unique feather-touch operation these controls do that and more—letting you start, pause, fast-forward and rewind almost effortlessly.
