EasyGuard Optimize

Be your best with a notebook optimized to do the same.
Toshiba EasyGuard® Optimize technology* is a series of proprietary software enhancements that allows you to customize your notebook settings to maximize system performance and battery life based on your individual needs and preferences. So whether you create spreadsheets all day or give presentations on a regular basis, you'll know that your notebook is performing at its best — so you can too.

Toshiba Presentation Button
Take the boot-up time out of your presentation with a one-touch button that displays your work on LCD projectors or external monitors easily and instantaneously. The button can even be programmed to default to a specific resolution — taking the guesswork out of connecting to an unknown projector. With the one-touch presentation button, you'll appear more polished and professional, not to mention more relaxed, when you don't have to stall while your system catches up with you.

Toshiba Zooming Utility
Go easy on your eyes with one-touch magnification of documents, Web pages and spreadsheets. The Toshiba Zooming Utility allows you to enlarge fonts, icons and toolbars.

LCD Screen Rotation Utility
The LCD Screen Rotation Utility allows you to rotate a notebook's screen image 180 degrees, helpful when you're sharing information with a colleague sitting across the table or desk.

One-Touch Resolution Change
Magnify and view digital pictures, images, MPEG videos, Web pages and more with a simple keystroke, so you can enjoy full-screen viewing while maintaining the original format.

Toshiba Power Saver
Just sat down in a long meeting and forgot your power supply? No problem. Adjust your setting with the exclusive Toshiba Power Saver to maximize battery life and breeze through the meeting fully connected. This intuitive graphical user interface lets you customize your notebook settings to optimize performance and battery life, based on your specific preferences.

Each profile allows you to select the approximate level of performance for critical system components (screen brightness, CPU, cooling, when an inactive screen or HDD turns off, etc.). You can select higher performance levels (lowering system battery life) or more conservative performance levels (increasing system battery life). An indicator along the bottom of the window reflects how the power management setting will increase system performance or battery life.

Toshiba ODD Power On/Off Utility
For long work sessions away from a plug, this useful feature allows you to turn off the power of the integrated optical disk drive (ODD) to conserve battery life. Every time you open Windows Explorer or open a file within an application, a check is made of every drive in the system including the optical drive. But no check is required if the optical drive is off — meaning less battery power is consumed.

Wireless On/Off Switch
This is a physical switch that allows you to enable and disable the integrated wireless LAN (Wi-Fi®) and Bluetooth® wireless modules as you need them, so you can conserve battery power. When it's activated, wireless technology uses battery power by constantly searching for a signal. Therefore, it makes sense to turn the technology off when you aren't using it. The wireless on/off switch makes it easy to do just that.

Toshiba Fn-esse®
It's like speed-dial for your notebook! Toshiba Fn-esse® lets you assign tasks to specific key-stroke combinations, so you can do things like open your email or Internet Explorer by pressing a few keys.

Toshiba Mouse Utility
This feature lets you customize the touch pad, AccuPoint® and button functionality to meet your individual mouse preferences. You'll work faster and easier when you can implement gestures-based functions on the touch pad or assign specific features to the mouse buttons. The Easy Setup Wizard walks you through all your options — and you can customize the mouse settings even further via the “detailed” settings tab.

Toshiba FN Shortcut Keys
There's always a faster way with Toshiba. The Toshiba FN Shortcut Keys use pre-assigned keystrokes to simplify system management and settings options. There are up to 17 pre-assigned functions, including keys that will place the notebook in hibernate mode and increase or decrease screen brightness. This feature increases efficiency by replacing common actions that require multiple mouse clicks, so you can just press a key and go.
