Desktop integrated with LCD
Toshiba introduces its Equium 100, a space-saving commercial PC with an innovative form factor.
The Equium 100 features a flat-panel LCD monitor and an integrated chassis, offering corporate customers a stylish option for the front desk or other high-profile areas, according to Toshiba.
In addition to the LCD, the display also features a 90-degree swivel capability, which allows users the option of viewing data in "landscape" or "portrait mode." Toshiba is leveraging its expertise in notebook LCDs to the desktop for the first time.
"Hitachi beat them to the market [with the VisionDesk product], and this is their answer to that," said Nathan Nuttal, an analyst at Sherwood Research. "More than that, it's a statement from Toshiba: 'We're taking the desktop space seriously, and we're going to be pretty creative with how we address that market.'"
