Toshiba plans to use Intel's Core Duo processor in a tablet PC, hoping to provide a boost to a product category that has fallen far short of early expectations.
The company on Tuesday unveiled the Portege M400, along with three other notebooks that feature Intel's newest dual-core mobile processor. The 12.1-inch M400 weighs 4.5 pounds and features a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive as a standard option.
Toshiba also on Tuesday launched three new business notebooks with Intel's Core Duo chip. Most PC vendors have chosen to include the new chip in consumer notebooks, but Toshiba is going after business customers with its new Tecra models by highlighting security features like a Trusted Platform Module and a fingerprint reader.
