Shock Absorbing Design

By applying principals used in the auto industry to protect passengers, Toshiba notebooks reduce the risk of system damage and data loss in the event of accidental fall, impact or vibration. Airpocket cushioning and special padding materials have been integrated into the notebook's base and display to protect key components and the chassis. The shock absorbing design helps ensure that you don't lose critical data and time because of a damaged notebook, so you can stay productive . and worry-free.

Hard Disk Drive Protection

In case of shock, vibration or fall, the hard disk drive (HDD) head can scratch the spinning disks while reading or writing data, resulting in data loss. HDD Protection provides three levels of support specifically for the HDD. The exclusive Toshiba 3D accelerometer detects free falls in all directions and rapidly moves the HDD head from between the HDD platters in preparation for impact. Shock absorption technology further reinforces the HDD in the event of an impact or vibration. On top of that, the HDD Dome Shock Protector reinforces the area of the chassis closest to the HDD platters to provide further protection from impact.

Spill-Resistant Keyboard

This technology includes a cover, tape and insulators to help protect the notebook circuitry from moisture that may come into contact with the keyboard. If liquid spills contact notebook circuitry, they can damage key components, leading to costly and time-consuming repairs and possible data loss. The spill-resistant keyboard helps safeguard your notebook in case of a spill and gives you time to save and close your open files and turn off the machine.

Magnesium Alloy Casework

Lighter than titanium and other common notebook construction materials, a Toshiba notebook's magnesium alloy chassis is its first defense against falls. This lightweight, rugged material is most commonly utilized in structural, automotive, industrial and aerospace manufacturing. It maximizes durability without adding unnecessary weight, so you can work with a notebook that's as sleek as it is tough.

Toshiba PC Diagnostic Tool

If you suspect a problem with your notebook, Toshiba makes it easy to identify what's wrong. The Toshiba PC Diagnostic Tool is proprietary, pre-installed software that you can launch to perform a hardware diagnostic test through a simple, non-technical interface. By self-diagnosing potential hardware issues, you can pinpoint and resolve possible hardware problems by yourself or have pertinent, timesaving information on hand that IT support can use to help remedy the issue.

Key Component Access

The modularized design of Toshiba notebooks makes it easier to access, remove and replace the hard disk drive, optical disk drive and keyboard or even upgrade system memory. If there is ever a problem with any of these key components, an IT professional will be able to repair your notebook more quickly, so you'll get back up and running in less time.

Fingerprint Reader

This embedded biometric scanner plus software utility allows you to swipe your finger across the reader to gain access to your notebook. Use this combination to replace or augment the traditional Microsoft® Windows® log-on password in addition to commonly used programs or websites. On systems with the Trusted Platform Module, you can even use the fingerprint reader to encrypt files and folders for an additional layer of security.

Multiple-Level Password Utilities

Most computers are typically protected by a single password, making them more susceptible to system break-ins. Multiple-level password utilities add an extra layer of protection. This suite of utilities enables users and administrators to establish Basic Input/Output Systems (BIOS) and hard disk drive (HDD) passwords. Users can implement security "checkpoints" throughout their Toshiba systems, ensuring that no unauthorized users will be able to boot up or access protected information on the hard drive. This suite of utilities also makes it easy to register/delete or change passwords at the user and administration levels.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

This Trusted Computing Group-compliant embedded security chipset and software application work together to provide high-level protection for encryption keys, passwords and user credentials. TPM also allows users to encrypt documents and files in a Personal Secure Drive that works the same way a Microsoft® Windows® drive does. All of the keys are stored in the TPM memory instead of the PC memory, to help ensure that the information cannot be read or deciphered. Because the embedded TPM security controller uses public and standardized specifications, the level of notebook security is better than systems based on standard, software-only encryption authentication solutions.

Reinforced Security Cable Lock Slot

For sticky fingers, notebooks are tempting and easy-to-carry targets in environments such as tradeshows, public spaces and large gatherings. This metal-reinforced slot built into the notebook chassis enables the attachment of a variety of notebook security cables, so you can secure your notebook to a desk or table. This theft deterrent is both visual and physical . and it's a simple, cost-effective way to secure your notebook.

Diversity Antenna

Toshiba patented diversity antenna provides a stable, reliable wireless experience. And, because it is located on the top of the LCD, external features such as your desk and hands have minimal interference with your wireless connection. Notebooks with Bluetooth® wireless technology also include a Bluetooth® wireless antenna located between the wireless LAN antennae. The wireless antennae support 2.4GHz and 5GHz dual bands . and the notebook automatically chooses the one that provides the faster connectivity standard supported by the integrated Wi-Fi® wireless module. This means you are automatically connected to the best frequency wherever you are.

Toshiba ConfigFree® Software

This proprietary Toshiba software allows users to easily set up a network connection, troubleshoot connectivity problems, capture a complete set of location settings for future use and create an ad hoc network for collaboration. It displays an intuitive, graphical user interface showing nearby active Wi-Fi® wireless access points, along with Bluetooth® wireless technology devices, making it simple to detect and complete a connection. By easily establishing and maintaining a network connection wherever you are, you can quickly access the programs and files you need . and stay connected without worry.
