Toshiba intros Tecra A10 and M10 notebooks in the UK

Toshiba on Wednesday announced it is releasing the Tecra A10 and M10 notebooks. While specs are similar, the A10 packs the hardware into a larger chassis with a 15-inch screen, while the M10 features a 14-inch display. Either notebook is rated to withstand drops and shocks while bringing a fingerprint scanner and Toshiba's EasyGuard technology for system security.

As for specs, all that is known is that either new model will run on Intel's Centrino 2 processor, offer as much as 8GB of RAM and a hard drive capacity of 250GB. Short-range wireless connectivity will be handled by Bluetooth, while built-in Wi-Fi will allow Internet access. The M10 alone will have optional, built-in support of 3G wireless data networks.

The laptops are due for an October release in the UK, with a basic A10 priced at an equivalent of nearly $1,100 while the M10 starts at about $1,200. [via ElectricPig]
