Toshiba is no stranger to churning out laptops of all sizes. Now they are introducing two new CULV models: the 13.3-inch MX/43 and 11.6-inch MX/33. Both come make some trade-offs to performance for portability, but the MX/43 is the more balanced model.

The MX/43 features a Core 2 Duo SU9400 processor, 2GB of RAM (up to 8GB), a 250GB hard drive, 10.5 hours of battery life, and Windows 7 Home Premium. The MX/33 takes thing down a notch with a 1.3GHz Celeron 743 processor and a smaller battery, but you can get it in three different colors.

Toshiba has another first on their hands with the 55-inch Cell Regza 55X1, the first LCD HDTV to be equipped with a Cell chip. The 55X1 offers a peak luminance of 1250 cd/m2, LED backlighting, a dynamic contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1, a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, 240Hz scanning, and Super Resolution technology which makes use of Cell power for greater image quality.

Some other features include a 7-speaker sound bar, DLNA support, an internet browser from Opera Software, HDMI and USB, and an SD card slot. You also get a ‘tuner box’ with 3TB of storage space, 2TB of that will be devoted to the “time-shift machine” feature, which can simultaneously record up to 26 hours of programming on up to eight channels.

Looks like Toshiba is getting the rest of it’s products up to speed with Blu-ray drives. The new Qosmio X500 gaming laptop is a good example. Just like the previous models, this one is big and bulky and for gamers.

It sports an 18.4-inch, 1920 x 1080 screen, 2.8GHz Core i7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250MNV graphics, up to 8GB of RAM, dual 500GB hard drives, Blu-ray drive and a Blu-ray burner.

Netbook SSDs have come in several forms, but finding the right model for your machine is about to get much easier thanks to the SATA-IO working group having just announced a new mini-SATA standard called mSATA that should get it all uniform and reduce it’s footprint some.

Toshiba’s the first now with 32nm drives in 30 and 62GB sizes, but you can expect to see mSATA drives and machines from a bunch of big names in the future. Players like Samsung, Dell, HP, SanDisk, Lenovo, and STEC. We can all hold out hope that standardization will lead to lower prices as well.

Last week it was the U500 laptop and now Toshiba has unveiled another device born of its partnership with the Italian bike manufacturer. The pocket sized Cameila S10 camcorder.

Boasting a 5 megapixel sensor it can record video at 1080p and also sports a 4GB card which can hold up to 60 minutes of video. After you’ve recorded your masterpiece, videos can be uploaded directly to Youtube. The Camelia S10 Ducati camcorder also has a 2.5 inch TFT screen, but sadly no HDMI port.

Check out this Toshiba/Ducati love child. We’ll leave it up to you as to whether it’s awesome or disastrous. The Toshiba U500 Ducati laptop does look good, we have to give it props there. It features an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 graphics card, along with a Core 2 Duo 8700 processor and 4GB of RAM. Looks like it might also run on Windows 7.

Nothing on a release date yet though and we don’t have a price, but you can expect it to be very expensive since it has two big time brand names on it.

Toshiba just launched three new camcorders. The Camileo S20, H30 and X100 models. All three offer full HD (1920 x 1080p). The Camileo S20 is one of the slimmest HD camcorders in the world at a mere 17mm, while the H30 is all about “functionality with ease of use” and the X100 will get you a a decent 10x optical zoom.

If you’re looking for a budget camcorder, the S20 fits the bill, with specs like a 4x digital zoom, 5-megapixel sensor and 3-inch rotating screen. The H30 sports 10 megapixels, 5x optical zoom and 10x digital. The X100 features a 10-megapixel sensor 10x optical, 10x digital and a 4GB built-in flash memory. Plus, both the H30 and X100 have LCD touchscreen panels.

Looks like the love affair with HD DVDs is finally and completely over. Toshiba has hammered the final nail in the coffin with the BDX2000 Blu-ray player and thrown their HD DVDs out on the lawn. You can expect the following specs:

BD-Live (Profile 2.0), 1080p/ 24 fps Full HD Video Output, AVCHD Playback, Toshiba REGZA-LINK (HDMI-CEC), Support for enhanced audio formats from Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio, Bonus View, SD memory card slot and it’s ENERGY STAR Certified.

Toshiba’s Satellite L355 is a 17″ laptop running an Intel Celeron Processor. It’s got a great price and you know what that means. You’ll have to make some sacrifices. It doesn’t have a webcam, or HDMI and no memory card reader. Other than that, it’s not bad. This entry level L355 is only $348 and goes on sale at Walmart this Sunday.

Sure, there’s no HD, webcam and the processor is on thew slow end, but if you do not do any serious computing, it’s a winner. It features 3GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive.

I always knew that Blu-ray would win the format war with Sony on its side selling the PS3. The PS2 helped get the DVD player into the homes of gobs of people and I figured the PS3 would do the same for Blu-ray.

Toshiba was the main backer of HD DVD and when its format was defeated it stayed out of the HD format market for movie players. The company decided this year to get back into the HD payer market and has announced that it has applied to be part of the Blu-ray disc association.

There are gobs of external storage products on the market that serve a variety of needs. You can find big drives for backing up data in your home and you can find small drives for backing up data on the road.

Toshiba has announced that it is now in the external storage solution market with a drive using 3.5-inch HDDs for the desktop market. The drive will be offered with 640GB of storage and 1TB of storage. Both versions will offer USB 2.0 and eSATA connectivity.

Toshiba has just unveiled a truly kitchen-friendly TV with the 19LV612U. The 18.5-inch set features a built-in slot-loading DVD player, integrated ATSC / NTSC / QAM TV tuner and a 1,366 x 768 native resolution. And just look at that stainless steel coating, which will match your other modern appliances.

Some other specs include a brightness of 300, a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 5ms response time, HDMI / VGA inputs, a headphone jack and VESA mount support. It will distract you from preparing and eating meals this September for a price of $349.99. I wonder if it cleans up easy.

You don’t own a digiframe yet? You’ve probably been waiting for some better features with some social networking built in. You’re in luck. This one may look like all the rest, but it supports FrameChannel accounts, so you’ll never be far from your personalized weather, traffic, sports scores, music, and video.

It’s also got Flickr, Photobucket, and Facebook integration. Isn’t that just what you want in a fancy picture frame? This one is available in August, with the 8-inch frame in white (DMF82XWU) or black (DMF82XKU) for just $179.99.

Looks like Toshiba is serious about the HDD and DVD recorder market in Japan. They’ve just released the 1TB Regza RD-E1004K and the 320GB Regza RD-304K.

Both HDD and DVD recorders can record HD video in Blu-ray format or in a standard format (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264). The 1TB RD-E1004K retails for 65,000 Yen (or $677). No word on pricing for the 320GB model.

Toshiba has a new range of portable hard drives that feature new system backup functionality and password-protected encryption for greater security. The drives will ship with pre-laoded software that’s compatible with both Mac and Windows. The included NTI BackupNow EZ software lets users backup the whole system and even restore the entire system if Windows fails to boot.

These Toshiba drives will come with password-protected security with up to 256-bit encryption. A Drive Space Alert feature will alert you when it is time to perform some digital cleaning. You can choose from white, blue, green and red.
