Toshiba has introduced its new line of laptops. This week the company unveiled the C650, L650 and L670, and they're essentially the consumer models upgraded with Windows 7 Pro.

According to the reports, the L650 and L670 have, respectively, 15.6in and 17.3in 1366 x 768 displays. The machines are equipped with AMD ATI Mobility Radeon 5650 1GB graphics chips and Intel CPUs represented in a choice of 2.13GHz Core i3-330M or 2.26GHz Core i5-430M.

As Apple iPad has created a lot of buzz and stir among the users many tech companies are trying to take advantage of the pother and start leaking information about their own developments of the computer tablets. The same thing seems to be done by Hewlett-Packard whose plans to release a PC tablet known as Slate were reported earlier at the CES 2010 event.

Now the company has leaked the information about the pricing and specifications for the new device.

Craig Barth, Devil Mountain's chief technology officer, cited new figures which reveal that in many cases Windows 7 consumes 90% of PCs’ memory leading thus to slow performance.

The new metrics from the company's community-based Exo.performance.network (XPnet) show that on average 86% of Windows 7 machines in the XPnet pool are regularly consuming 90-95% of their available RAM which results in that the systems are forced to turn to disk-based virtual memory to handle tasks.
