In an age when it seems we want more battery life out of our laptops, it seems the new line of Toshiba laptops are too power hungry. The reason? Their new Cell Processor eats up to much battery life. Toshiba had to include a function for turning off the Cell Processor or have only 40 minutes of battery life. So the laptop disables the processor when not connected to a power outlet.
It also seems that Toshiba is holding back alot of info about their cell based products that they say will compete with Blu-ray but refusinging to show side by side comparisons with Blu-ray along with their new DVD upscaling tech, and now this.

View profile »i think a stand alone BLU-RAY player will be much more affordable,than these lame laptops.i see SUC in these craptops and planned for toshibas tv's,but i see nothing regarding a DVD player incorporating SUC
BLU-RAY=$300-$600
LAPTOP=$600-$1000+$3000(for a 1080p.tv)
and the laptop,infact anything with this quad core stuff,is gonna chew electric

View profile »The royalty burden accounts for $112 of a Blu-Ray player's MSRP.($75 raw royalty + 50% retailer mark-up).
Then buy the $199 Super Upconversion DVD player this Xmas instead.
The Super Upconversion DVD player was already announced by Toshiba's CEO last month. It was reported by Japanese press, but ignored by US press.(Most likely due to language barrier)
Super Upconversion DVD player : $199
