Next up is to Satellite P700 series, which will pack laptops with performance and premium hardware for the multi-tasker and mainstream gamer. These 14-, 15.6- and 17.3-inch notebooks will use Sandy Bridge and latest generation AMD CPUs, Harman/kardon speakers, Intel WiDi and an optical Blu-Ray drive. Notebooks start at $629.99 and will come standard with Toshiba’s Fusion X2 Finish styling.

Finally, Toshiba rounds up the announcement with the mini NB505 netbook. The unit will make use of Toshiba’s Easy Grip feature for portability and include an Intel Atom CPU with Windows 7 by default.
