Today, the IFA consumer electronics show, held in Berlin, Germany, officially opens its doors to all those visitors that want to stay in touch with all the latest technologies to be enabled on future products. On that note, several companies are already showing off their latest products, with Toshiba making no exception from the said rule.
The company has just announced a new system to its popular line of Satellite laptops, coming to provide users with a large, full-HD display and a Blu-ray optical drive. Dubbed P500, the new laptop comes as the PC vendor's new flagship model and is also the first of the company's portable PC systems to boast a Blu-ray optical drive.

Inside the new laptop, Toshiba has made good use of the latest hardware components on the market to provide customers with a high-quality computing and entertainment system. The system packs a large, 18.4-inch display, which is capable of presenting images at a resolution of 1,920 by 1,080p pixels, coming as a complementary addition to the laptop's Blu-ray optical drive.

The machine runs on Intel's Core 2 Duo processors, coupled with 4GB of RAM and a high-capacity hard disk drive that can provide users with up to 500GB of storage space. To enable a high-end multimedia experience, the laptop has also been equipped with NVIDIA's GeForce graphics. On the connectivity department, the system will provide users with three USB 2.0 ports, an eSATA/USB connector, 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR wireless networking, a 5-in-1 Bridge Media port, an ExpressCard slot and FireWire.

No word on pricing, but, when it becomes available in October, the laptop should be featured with the HDMI and REGZA link, coupled with Harmon Kardon speakers and Toshiba's TruBrite technology, for a high-quality, multimedia experience inside a portable PC system.
