Toshiba opens pre-orders for its Windows 8 PCs

Pre-orders for Toshiba’s Windows 8 PCs have opened in the US, for those who want to sink their teeth into Microsoft’s new desktop OS as soon as possible.

Toshiba’s offering up Windows 8 versions of its U Series ultrabooks as well as the Satellite L, P and S laptops for computing you can carry around the house. If you want something you a little more permanent, there’s also the LX815 and LX835 desktop systems to check out, and for gamers there’s the Qosmio X875 and its hefty graphics card and Ivy-Bridge i7 processor.

Prices start at US$350 for the cheapest budget Satellite laptop and head up to US$2000 for the 3D-enabled Qosmio powerhouse.

If any of the above takes your fancy, you can put in a pre-order now and see it delivered on October 26th, the day after Microsoft’s big Windows 8 launch event.
