Toshiba’s
Digital Products Division (DPD), a division of Toshiba America
Information Systems, Inc., introduced today the new Satellite® L Series
laptops, available in 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch screen sizes and built to
take advantage of the key features of Windows 10. The only laptops in
their class to feature a branded audio solution, Satellite L series
laptops pump out rich, natural sound via stereo speakers tuned by the
audio experts at Skullcandy®.
“These laptops hit all the right notes for the consumers looking for a
laptop to work, game and be entertained on,” said Phil Osako, senior
director of product marketing, Toshiba America Information Systems,
Inc., Digital Products Division. “Our Satellite L series delivers a
great display, awesome audio and robust performance to help you do,
create and play – all from one affordably priced laptop that will work
great with Windows 10.”
Premium Performance for Work and Play
The Satellite L Series laptops are designed for Windows 10 and include
hardware features ready to make the most of the new operating system.
The laptops feature an integrated HD webcam and dual-array TruTalk™
microphones to enable voice apps like Cortana and Skype and a dedicated
Cortana key offers easy access to Microsoft’s personal digital assistant
for finding information.
Configurations include the latest generation processors from Intel® and
AMD, up to 16GB of memory1 and up to 1TB storage2,
plus 802.11bgn or ultra-fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi® for high-performance,
cable-free networking, and the convenience of Bluetooth® for connecting
enabled phones, printers and speakers. With a battery life rating of up
to seven hours on the 15.6-inch model and 5 hours 45 minutes on the
17.3-inch model, plus smart multitasking, customers can handle serious
work and powerful play whenever and wherever they please.
Enhanced Entertainment and Standout Styling
The Satellite L Series can now be configured with up to a Full HD 1080p
(1920x1080) IPS TruBrite® display, delivering better screen quality for
watching movies, streaming Netflix® and easier photo and video editing.
Customers have the option to play music or watch the latest DVD movies
with the built-in DVD SuperMulti drive.
To round out the entertainment experience, Toshiba and Skullcandy, along
with DTS®, aligned to tune the built-in speakers to Skullcandy’s audio
spec, as well as integrate a custom sound profile with optimized
settings for Skullcandy headphones and earbuds, providing a richer,
clearer and more natural sound.
“Most computing companies obsess about high definition displays but stop
short of considering the full consumer experience around visuals and
audio,” said Sam Paschel, CCO of Skullcandy. “One of the great things
about the Toshiba partnership has been their deep understanding of the
consumer and our shared position that high quality audio is one of the
cornerstones of the experience for enjoying music, games and streaming
media. We have set incredibly high standards for our headphones and
earbuds – the Toshiba partnership enables us to bring that same great
performance to Satellite L Series laptops.”
The new Satellite L Series laptops are thin, lightweight and stylish,
encased in a fashion-forward Satin Gold Finish with sleek lines and a
less-than-an-inch profile. A backlit and frameless TruType keyboard
delivers a contoured key design for more comfortable typing with less
key bounce, along with a modern buttonless touchpad with multi-gesture
control.

up to two USB 2.0 ports, an SD card slot that supports cards up to 2TB
