Toshiba’s Computer Systems Division has introduced the Satellite L10 series, the latest in its line of entertainment notebooks designed specifically for consumers interested in value for money notebooks at affordable prices. The Satellite L10 offers compelling personal entertainment features, convenient portability and simple on-the-go wireless connectivity support for 802.11 b/g all for only $1,020.
With powerful PC functionality, including the latest Intel Celeron M processor, Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft OneNote, the Satellite L10 is well equipped to help consumers get the most out of gathering, playback and handling of digital content. The advanced 8x Super Multi Drive means that users can rapidly mix and burn multimedia content to CD or DVD.
“When making a purchasing decision today, consumers are looking for great value without having to compromise on quality, style or feature set,” said Ahmed Khalil, Toshiba’s GM, Middle East and Africa. “With the Satellite L10 series Toshiba is setting a new standard in consumer value by combining high-quality personal entertainment, an innovative mobile experience and leading design all at a fantastic price point.”
The Satellite L10 series provides users with the right tools for their digital life, whether at home or when mobile. With SRS TruSurround technology and four CD/DVD playback buttons, listening to music or watching video content is made a rich and convenient experience. The DVD Super Multi Drive empowers users to create and share content where and when they want, whether documenting files, photography, music or video — all at the touch of a button.
With built-in Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) and ConfigFree software, the Satellite L10 has all the hardware and software users need to connect to networks wherever they are, whether in hotels, coffee shops or on a home network. The recently updated ConfigFree solution offers features useful to all levels of user, enabling them to easily detect, connect and maintain links with wireless networks and devices. The Satellite L10 series will be available throughout the Middle East from early February.

Yahoo! Desktop Search Beta Unveiled
Yahoo! has introduced a powerful desktop search application that enables consumers to instantly find, preview and access virtually any e-mail or file stored on their computer. The Yahoo!

Leveraging award-winning technology developed by X1 Technologies, Yahoo! Desktop Search Beta delivers powerful search functionality not available from most other desktop search products on the market today, including:
• The most comprehensive search results spanning over 200 different file types including Outlook and Outlook Express Email, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, html, text, ZIP and MP3.
• Instantaneous search results displayed as fast as a user types in a search query.
• A preview window that enables users to view entire files within Yahoo! Desktop Search without opening them.
• Advanced privacy controls that ensure web browser cache and history are not searchable.
• The ability to find and play audio or video files without launching a separate media player.
The introduction of Yahoo! Desktop Search Beta is the first of many planned product releases designed by Yahoo! to help users save time and be more productive by creating a single search experience that enables them to access personally relevant information and content stored on their desktop and in the Yahoo! network.
