Tis the season for back-to-school product refreshes, and Toshiba's just announced what it'll be hawking to students and their parents this fall. The company's upgraded six of its laptop lines — from the low-end Satellite L series to the gaming-powerhouse Qosmio — with better specs and improved performance, plus a much-improved design sense across the board. Toshiba's worked to give its laptops a more coherent identity, like some other companies we've seen — it's adopting the "u" shape that we saw on the Kirabook, and bringing the same color scheme to many of its models. It's also updating most of its laptops to Intel's latest Haswell processors, and upgrading to higher-resolution screens.

The various Satellite Series (L, C, S, and P) make up most of Toshiba's laptop lineup, and all see similar upgrades this year. Most can be configured with Nvidia graphics, 1080p displays, Harman Kardon speakers, and Toshiba's cool Sleep & Charge and Sleep & Music functionality. Save for the lowest-end models, the new Satellites have new aluminum frames up to 25 percent thinner than the last generation – a couple of models come impressively close to meeting Intel's ultrabook requirement. They look surprisingly good for such inexpensive laptops, which is perhaps a sign of how far we've come — it's remarkable how much more $400 buys than it did even a year or two ago.

The Qosmio X75 gaming behemoth and the PX35t all-in-one were both upgraded as well, mostly on the spec sheet. Both come with 1080p screens standard, upgraded speakers, and new processors. They have the same u-shaped "Skyline" design as well, and crammed into a single hotel room Toshiba's lineup of TVs, tablets, and laptops do look pretty good together.

Toshiba's whole lineup is coming later this month, along with what's sure to be a slew of other laptops from other manufacturers. 'Tis the season, after all.

@cool


that's because you can't afford one.


a used car will always be inferior to a new one.

what is the point of buying a new car where you basically pay twice as much just for things you can already add to a used one and still make it under the cost of the new one

Get a Chromebook, it is good for school. But, the only problem is you can't play anything with Java or even Roblox. But, it is a perfect laptop for school and for surfing the web. It is only $200 US Dollars.

@Ipoddrew,Good Idea.But I would install Linux right after...You can emulate roblox and have java on Linux software.

"Used anything is terrible"

I have to agree after my experience yesterday. My dad bought a laptop like mine for my mum to use off of ebay and the description said it was in perfect working order.

The power adapter was a fake and was clearly not the one that it came with new
The battery didn't hold any charge at all
The screen was smeared from some bad attempt to clean it
The HDD was on the brink of death
The whole thing was scratched and covered in bits of food and cat hair
The keyboard had so much food in it that you could've fed a small village in Africa from it
I hate to imagine how many trillions of bacteria were growing on all the food and grease smeared on it

Lesson to you all: NEVER buy second hand unless you can see it before you buy it
