There are three new devices launched which are the

users with improved security, connections and reliability. The Protege X30-E,
for instance, will be equipped with a non-reflective touchscreen with the new
In-Cell Touch technology that will allow the users to navigate the display via

The new line of X-series laptops will also have
the 8th Generation Intel Core processors,
DDR4 RAM at 2400MHz and a 1TB PCIe SSD. Specific information about the parts

With all these new parts and features, Toshiba still
