Toshiba of Canada leads mobile computing marketplace with new extended three year warranty and reduced pricing on selected notebook, pen and portable computers


Markham, Ontario (November 1, 1993) Toshiba of Canada Ltd., Information Systems Group 
(ISG) announced today a new three-year warranty program and reduced pricing on selected 
models of its industry leading line of notebook, pen and portable computers and CD-ROM drives. 
The new pricing positions Toshiba as the price leader in the 486-based notebook marketplace.

The extended three-year warranty applies to Toshiba's T4500 and T4600 Series, the T6600C 
portable multimedia computer, the T100X pen based notebook and the Desk Station IV which are 
purchased after November 1, 1993. Many new products introduced after November 1 will be 
included in the three-year plan which provides international parts and labour coverage at no 
additional cost. 

Toshiba's new pricing represents potential customer savings of five to 20 percent on selected 
models. For example, the T1900C, a 486SX-based notebook with 200MB hard disk drive and 
Enhanced STN passive matrix colour display, has been reduced from a suggested list price of 
$4,359 to $3,599, an approximate 17 percent reduction. The suggested list price for the recently 
introduced T6600C portable multimedia computer system, has been reduced by nine percent from 
$11,399 to $10,699. 

According to Robert Grossman, Toshiba ISG vice-president and general manager, the new pricing 
and warranty program reflects Toshiba ISG's own slogan, "Tough Enough for Today's World."

"Our service and support programs have always been designed to ensure maximum uptime and 
productivity for Toshiba clients. Now, with our extended warranty and outstanding pricing, we 
can deliver on our promise of total customer satisfaction for two more years at the very least and, at the same time, make Toshiba quality a more affordable option for every business customer. 
This announcement should demonstrate that Toshiba itself is tough enough for the realities of 
today's demanding business environment."
