Toshiba Gulf FZE launches today the new Satellite C-series, a stylish range of affordable and powerful laptops ideal for everyday computing. Serving a broad audience with its eye-catching and portable design, the Satellite C-series comes in many different configurations at a screen size of 15.6 inches (39.6cm) with HD displays. The series includes models with touch-screen display that allows users to take advantage of its Windows 8 platform.

"The Satellite C-series has been created for consumers who demand quality, style and functionality for their everyday computing needs, which now increasingly require the latest multimedia features. Uploading and downloading media content, along with photo, video and music editing, are now essential requirements for even the youngest of laptop users. The Satellite C-series is built to address all these tasks efficiently," shares Santosh Varghese, General Manager, Digital Products and Services, Toshiba Gulf FZE.

Wide choice, top performance

Promising power and portability at an affordable price, the Satellite C-series offers users a choice between today's most powerful processors. The Satellite C50 and C50t are powered by third-generation Intel Core, Celeron or Pentium processors, all of which are guaranteed to deliver speed and high quality performance.

Users can also choose between shared Intel HD 4000 graphics, dedicated NVIDIA GeForce graphics with Optimus technology, and the latest GPUs that are capable of producing the excellent colour, quality and contrast required for multimedia creation and consumption.

Maximum convenience and functionality

The Satellite C-series is equipped with a touchpad that features modern gesture support for ultimate convenience, a built-in DVD Super Multi Optical Drive and two USB 2.0 ports for backup storage solutions, and one USB 3.0 port, as well as the latest Bluetooth 4.0, allowing users to transfer data quickly while consuming less energy. Users can store a number of movies on the Satellite C-series, up to 1TB of HDD storage.

They can also watch these movies on their HD TV through the laptop's HDMI port. The series has all the essential connectivity features that make loading programs efficiently faster. For maximum ease of use, consumers may opt for a non-reflective display and a 10-finger capacitive touch-screen.

Distinctive style

Available in glossy finishes, the Satellite C-series comes in precious black, luxe white pearl and shining silver, allowing users to choose a look that best defines their personality. Sporting the new Toshiba unified product design, the C-series is identified by its smooth rounded edges, its illuminated power button and the logo positioning at the left side under the display, creating a sophisticated look for an everyday laptop.

Interactive user experience

Whether they scroll with their fingers through Web pages and documents, tap or swipe the touch display to navigate, drag items manually when organising the screen or stretch objects for a clearer view by a simple finger movement, the optional edge-to-edge touch-screen with 10 points touch and swipe support makes personal computing more intuitive than before.

Designed to deliver a broad range of everyday computing features, the Satellite C-series offers a great user experience at an even better cost, proving that quality, style and enhanced multimedia functionality can be accessible to anyone.
