The flood of new notebooks due to crest in retail outlets on October 22, the day Windows 7 launches, got just a little bigger today with the announcement of two new affordable, ultra-thin notebooks from Toshiba.

Both laptops are part of a new line, the T100 series. They are modest in screen size ? just 11.6 inches for the T115 and 13.3 inches for the T135, and very thin. Both are under one inch in thickness, thanks to the use of Intel ultra-low voltage processors.

The T100 Series of laptops are designed to be ready at a moment's notice by offering a fast resume from hibernation. Thanks to battery efficiency and power saving enhancements, Toshiba claims it can deliver up to 9 hours of battery life. They meet both Energy Star 5 and EPEAT Gold compliance for power efficiency.
