The Toshiba M700 enjoying the Super Bowl
What was the Toshiba M700 doing at a Super Bowl Party? It was being passed around for people to see and used for things like checking out web sites like Under Armour after their commercial featuring sneakers when we thought they only made underwear!

Low voltage processors give you longer battery life but what people consistently ask for is more power and the M700 has the power people are craving. There is an extended battery available for the M700 so you don't have to give up battery life for the power you have been craving. The Core™2 Duo Processor 2.0 - 2.6GHz processors have the power to take users what they want to go.
