Toshiba Dynabook SS RX2/WAJ Notebook SS RX2/WAJ Notebook with SSD & WiMAX

Toshiba have officially launched their first WiMax enabled notebook for
the Japanese market in the form of the Toshiba Dynabook SS RX2/WAJ
which, along with WiMax, also boasts integrated 512GB SSD.

By way of a refresher, the Toshiba Dynabook SS RX2/WAJ notebook - which,
as we reported back in May, is the first notebook to come with
integrated 512GB SSD as standard - sports a 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
SU9400 CPU, 3GB RAM and purportedly offers up to 12 hours endurance
based on a full charge of its batteries though, undoubtedly, WiMax
connectivity will impact on this figure somewhat if left enabled.

With reference to its built-in SSD, the device utilises 2-bit-per-cell
multi-level NAND flash memory and offers up to a reported 230MB/s read
speed and 180MB/s write speed whilst also, thanks to the nature of SSDs
(no moving components, unlike traditional HDDs) offers enhanced
ruggedness in terms of resistance to vibrations and shocks.

The WiMax enabled version of the Toshiba Dynabook SS RX2/WAJ notebook is
set to release in Japan from around the end of July and will retail for
the equivalent of around $4,450 - the somewhat steep price being a
reflection of the cost of the SSD.
