Toshiba Device Access Control

If somebody tries to access your laptop without permission, this on-request software utility will help stop them.

By enabling you to lock specific devices and ports it prevents unauthorised access and the copying of confidential files.

Execute Disable BIT (XD-BIT)

If you're unfortunate enough to receive a virus or worm, you don't need to worry.

With this proactive feature, viruses and worms* are disabled before they can damage your laptop's operating system (OS).

*This does not apply for all viruses and all worms.

Advanced Encryption

TPM and BitLocker™ security solutions safeguard sensitive data using encryption and digital signature technology to ensure content integrity and privacy.

Fingerprint Reader-Single Sign On

If your laptop is lost or stolen you don't need to worry about the security of your data - with our fingerprint reader, nobody but you can access the system.

One swipe of your finger across the biometrics scanner is all it takes - giving you fast and convenient authentication for all system passwords (BIOS, HDD and Windows).

You can even use the scanner to access specific files or websites - doing away with the need to remember a multitude of different passwords.

Smartcard Reader

Provides enhanced security to the laptop's system as well as securing confidential information and online transactions.

Computrace® Enabled BIOS

Should you lose your laptop, locate it quickly with this homing device.

A multi-layered security solution, this feature provides a theft-protection service to track, locate and recover your laptop.

Available as an option - this cunning technology is small and undetectable.

Password Utilities

This Toshiba utility enables you to set up boot and HDD access passwords for greater security.

Antivirus Software

With a Toshiba EasyGuard laptop you benefit from a free pre-installed 30-day OEM version of McAfee® Internet Security. Once activated you get up-to-date protection against viruses, hackers and privacy threats.

Toshiba Security Assist

With this unique Toshiba utility, you can review your system's security status, verify the recommended settings and instantly make changes via links in your settings window.

Solid State Drive (SSD)

SSD is a storage device that uses solid-state memory to store data. With no moving parts, the SSD is much less likely to fail in extreme outdoor temperatures and conditions of vibration or shock - protecting your data should your laptop accidentally fall for example.

Spill-Resistant Keyboard

If liquid - like water or coffee - accidentally spills onto your keyboard, this feature prevents system damage and also gives you plenty of time to close any files and shut down your machine.

HDD Protection and 3D Accelerometer

Dropping a laptop is an occupational hazard, which is why we’ve designed our laptops to bounce back. To protect the HDD from shocks and vibrations, we’ve encased it in rubber.

The 3D accelerometer (3-axis monitoring system) dynamically detects free falls, shock or vibration in all directions.

It then rapidly moves the HDD head from between the HDD platters in preparation for impact – protecting your valuable data.

Toshiba Anti-Theft Protection Timer

This allows you to set a timer-activated BIOS password that prevents unauthorised system access if your laptop is lost or stolen.

Shock Protection Design

Because a laptop can be exposed to knocks and jolts, we've designed air-pocket cushioning and special padding to safeguard the laptop chassis, LCD and inverter.

This protects your laptop from everyday bumps (validated by Toshiba's own drop test - up to 100cm depending on model).

Durable Design

Our laptops' robust system design and specialised casework - including magnesium alloy - is the result of extensive product development testing - or HALT - enabling us to simulate product lifecycles and pinpoint weaknesses, improving the quality, reliability and durability of our laptops.

PC Diagnostics

Gain easy access via the Toshiba Assist button to the unique Toshiba software utility - enabling you and IT support to identify and resolve problems quickly, saving maintenance costs and minimising system downtime.

Kensington Lock

When you're working on the go, you need to protect your laptop from theft.

This industry standard locking device provides increased protection by physically securing it, giving you peace of mind wherever you choose to work.

Data Backup

This Microsoft utility for Windows® Vista™ and XP Pro offers easy data backup, protecting your data against accidental loss by storing backup copies on external hard disk drive, CDs, DVDs, or other storage medium.

Easy Fix Components

Easy to access and exchange components, such as memory, HDD, modem, Wireless LAN, Bluetooth® and Mobile Broadband WWAN/3G modules, save maintenance costs, minimise system downtime and improve your laptop's serviceability.

3G Broadband Wwan-Ready Connectivity

No more struggling to connect, our solution takes advantage of the cellular network infrastructure to provide you with roaming connectivity at broadband speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps across various areas of coverage - while supporting uninterrupted connection.

Diversity Antenna

Two wireless LAN antennae on top of the laptop's LCD display automatically adjust delivering optimal connectivity.
