The United States branch of Toshiba today announced the release of a 17.1" laptop series, the Satellite L350, targeted towards people who are looking for a "value-for-money" notebook computer with large display. The Satellite L350 ($750) is an AMD-based system with a 17.1-inch diagonal widescreen TruBrite display, built-in Webcam, ATI Radeon X1250 graphics and a DVD SuperMulti drive with Labelflash.

Also, the firm announced that it has "completely re-imagined" four Satellite models -- U400, M300, A300 and P300. Each of them now sports Fusion Finish in a Horizon pattern; Feather-Touch multimedia command keys, which lie beneath the Fusion Finish and are subtly bathed in a cool glow of white LED light; and a flush mounted touchpad. What's more, all the four laptops boasts innovative Sleep-and-Charge USB ports, which make it possible to charge and power electronic devices no matter if the laptop is powered-on, off or in sleep mode. The new tech allows users to charge and power their devices simultaneously via USB in a variety of power settings. While off or in sleep mode, as long as the laptop is plugged into an outlet, users are able to charge their devices at any time.
