Lower-end Toshiba notebooks will be getting a boost as the Japanese electronics giant is introducing its EasyGuard™ protection technology to its budget laptops. This attempt to differentiate its mobile line-up from rivals has seen the new Satellite Pro A120 being armed with better protection against shocks and other hazards yet is priced from £369 (price quote from Savastore.com) only.

It seems that even after a fall of 70cm, tests show the laptop should still function well. (Don’t try this at home!) A Toshiba product manager says, “Nobody else offers this level of protection at this price.” The A120 is a 2.8kg 15.4″ screened notebook equipped with 512MB memory, 60GB hard disk, and a 1.46 GHz Celeron M410 processor, further enhanced with a 100cc spill resistant keyboard.

On another note, Toshiba Corp. has also introduced a new Windows Vista-ready Tablet PC with a 14in display — the Tecra M7, a widescreen laptop with a swivel display. IT News has more.
