Toshiba of Canada Information Systems Group (Toshiba) has announced five new Tecra laptops, including two Tecra M10 series and two Tecra S10 series laptops that feature the latest Intel vPro processor technology for high performance and secure business computing.
Intel vPro processor technology includes hardware-assisted security and management capabilities that allow IT professionals to remotely diagnose and troubleshoot a system resulting in enhanced workplace productivity with the reduction in down time and IT support wait time. Intel vPro technology provides the industry’s first solution for operating system-absent manageability and security even when the PC is off, the OS is unresponsive and when software agents are disabled.
The hardware-based capabilities improve network traffic filtering and isolate clients under attack for added security.
All models include Toshiba EasyGuard technology, with built-in shock absorbers for the hard disk drive, LCD panel, LCD inverter and chassis. The magnesium alloy casework keeps the unit robust and light for travel and the spill-resistant keyboard guards the laptop from spills. Security features include multi-level passwords and a fingerprint reader. All five Tecra models come with a three year warranty and are Microsoft Office Ready as they include a free 60 day trial of Microsoft Office Professional 2007.
