Tosh Cranks Up Smaller PC Range OZ Offering After Quitting Singapore Market

At a lunch yesterday in Sydney where the Japanese Company splashed the cash to feed media reptile’s sak?, wagyu teriyaki, kingfish jalapeno and panko riceballs-with-shitake-mushrooms-and-bamboo, Toshiba Australia CEO Mark Whittard failed to address the loss of market share in the consumer market after Lenovo entered the market grabbing 10% share in just four months.

Claiming that business was “pretty good” for Toshiba Australia Whittard revealed that this years product range


was made up of several  “Click” two-in-one devices that as Whittard demonstrated allow users to use a laptop all day and when the battery runs out just “click” out the screen to serve as an Android tablet.

Toshiba who are struggling to grow share in the Chromebook market up against Acer who are #1 in both Australia and New Zealand showed a new $350 Chromebook that will go up against a new 15″ inch Acer Chromebook due next month. 

Whittard said that Toshiba revenue was up 19 per cent; unit sales were up 13pc however it is not known whether this relates solely to PC sales or Toshiba’s combined business which includes medical equipment and copiers.
