First public.Toshiba Dynabook Development and Manufacturing's Heart Performance

　What is the image of Toshiba's PC for this magazine reader? Most of the people probably know the name of "DyanBook".In addition, some people may be associated with the pioneer of notebooks, visual -oriented products such as "KIRA", or manufacturers who make "Regza" on TV.
