For a powerful, portable computer, Toshiba's model tops competition

Article Abstract:

Toshiba is leading attempts to provide much power in a portable personal computer in as little space possible. Its high-end Tecra 8000 Model Q, which is priced at around $3,500, is equipped with a high-resolution 13.3-inch screen. The unit, which is one of the most costly Toshibas available, comes with a 300-megahertz Pentium II microprocessor, a six-gigabyte hard drive and as many as 256 megabytes of random access memory. The Tecra model takes pride in a three-dimensional sound that allows its minute speakers to sound life-like and still have 4 1/2 hours of battery life.

Japan's Golden Week is expected to open up spending floodgates

Article Abstract:

The celebration of Japan's Golden Week is expected to unleash as much as 923.3 billion yen in consumer spending, most of it in local tourism. Golden Week, a series of public holidays that begins on Apr 29 with Nature Appreciation Day and ends on May 5 with Children's Day, is expected to result in massive spending by the Japanese. This is a very welcome development for Japanese economists who claim that prevailing low consumer spending in Japan is responsible for the country's poor economic performance.
