Toshiba Twin Tecras - RoHS CompliantThis week, Toshiba proudly exhibited the first "green" laptops ever to fully comply with the new environmental RoHS regulations. These rules were put forth by the European Parliament to reduce the use of lead, mercury, and other potentially hazardous chemicals in the production of new electronic equipment.And the twin Tecras, the "Tecra S3" and "Tecra M3" crossed the finish line well before the July 1, 2006, deadline. The M3, in particular, which retails for $2,699, is power-packed with the latest Intel, Centrino technology. This laptop also wins points for panache and chic, weighing around 2.26 kg: it's slim, slick build is not ultralight, yet still makes a useful portable pal. The Tecra S3, with a list price of $2,499, boasts top-of-the-line desktop replacement performance in addition to enhanced data security (safely equipped with Toshiba's newest Timer feature, Fingerprint Sensor and TPM), plus a 15" TFT display super-packed with NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 Express graphics. All this, along with its build quality and durability, clearly places Toshiba Corporation at the top of the RoHS-compliant laptop stack. The Tecra M3 is also the world's first unit to offer an exclusive VACF (Viewing Angle Control Filter) LCD, which promotes security and private viewing even in the most public places. The chessboard-like screen pattern prevents side viewing, and the Anti-Theft Protection Timer also keeps prying eyes away by featuring a timer-activated BIOS password. And, with innovative Raid Technology, most, if not all, detectable errors will be corrected automatically with data saved on the second drive. Toshiba's important green laptop launch leads the way into the eco friendly territory that all notebook computers must now visit, before reaching the sweaty palms of eager buyers.
