Crumple Zones
A simple idea to reduce the
impact of impacts. We’ve
left a gap of 2 to 6mm
between the edge of each
circuit board and the inside of the casing. In
effect, this creates a crumple-zone that helps
to protect the motherboard in the event of
impacts severe enough to deform the casing.
For most normal falls, the damage will be
cosmetic, not catastrophic.
Spill-Resistant
Keyboards
**
Liquids like coffee and tea
are a Notebook’s worst
enemy. And yet there’s
always a temptation to have a cuppa while
you’re tapping away. That’s why we’ve
developed a system that combines seals,
insulation and other physical barriers to buy
you some time and help to prevent a small
splash from becoming a total wipe out.
Magnesium Alloy
Chassis
Magnesium alloy has unique
properties that make it ideal
for the chassis of a Notebook.
It is crack and corrosion resistant,
doesn’t
expand and contract with temperature
changes
and has a high heat transfer rate. It is also
very light and very strong, which means a
Notebook built around it has a better chance
of surviving knocks and drops.
3D Drop and Impact
Detection System
**
This unique device is based
on an accelerometer
- like
the devices used to trigger
airbags in cars. This one’s better though,
because it senses trouble before impact.
And it’s sensitive to motion on three axes.
If your Notebook is accidentally knocked or
dropped, it detects the sudden change in
motion and docks the hard disk drive head.
This reduces the risk of the head crashing
and causing data damage.
Shock Absorbers for
the Hard Disk Drive
**
Every document you create,
every note you make, every
e-mail you send or receive
ends up stored on your hard disk drive.
The volume of data increases daily. As does
its value, and the difficulty of replacing it.
So protecting it is of paramount
importance.
To back-up the 3D drop detection
system,
we also mount the hard disk drive on shock
absorbers. Four of them. These provide
further protection for your data in the event
of an impact.
Impact Protection
for the Display
and Inverter
**
The LCD screen and the
inverter are two of the
most delicate components in a Notebook.
The screen, in particular, is expensive to
replace in the event of an accident.
To reduce the risk of damage, we’ve
developed an array of shock absorbing
materials that surround and support both
components. As a result, they can reduce
risk of damage by a drop from heights
of up to one metre – the equivalent of
getting knocked off a desk, or dropped
from waist height by a basketball player.
A very tall one.
EasyGuard
™
Protect: six ways to stop accidents from turning into disasters.
Everyday accidents like knocks, drops, splashes and spills are one of the leading causes of damage to Notebooks and data.
That’s why Toshiba builds a Notebook like an advanced passenger car – it’s not just designed to get you from A to B, it’s also
designed to protect what’s inside. These EasyGuard
™
Protect technologies are the latest examples of this philosophy.
Our Notebooks are
designed to forgive
and not forget.
