Along with its new consumer ultrabooks, Toshiba also announced it was refreshing its business-to-business notebook lineup with new Intel Ivy Bridge processors and security features. All come with a 3-year warranty, and will feature Toshiba’s Smart Client Manager, a BIOS-level utility which uses IBM’s Tivoli to handle power management, software patches, and security. Additionally, the R830, R940, and R950 will all be able to use the same port replicator, and will also be able to use the same 9-cell extended battery, which should be a relief to IT departments everywhere.
