My personal favorite in the current Ultrabook line-up, the Toshiba Z830, is said to be launching in the USA in late October according to a report by Taiwan News

Interestingly, the report suggests that the entry level model will use a 64GB SSD to keep the price down to $1000. Sales targets were also given at 60 to 70K by the end of the year. Presumably that’s shipped units rather than end-customer sales.

I’m visiting Toshiba Europe next week so will be able to bring you the latest from this part of the world too. WI’ll be hustling for a review model too so wish me luck!

    Very nice! I know once one is released, the others will follow quickly. It’s encouraging to hear your 60 – 70k number… I’ve been reading rumors of only 50k per manufacturer this round, which is worrisome.

    Hopefully that is just old news and you’re up on the latest. Thanks!!

    These figures could be either: Production order number, Shipped number, sales number. We should be careful at this stage!
