Wi-Fi options include 802.11n and 802.11ac configurations in addition to storage options that range from 500GB to 1TB. Toshiba's popular USB Sleep and Charge technology, enabling the laptop to be used as a portable charging station for smartphones and MP3 players even when off, is a standard feature.

The budget-driven Satellite C Series offers a choice of either a 15.6-inch (Satellite C55) or 17.3-inch (Satellite C75) diagonal screen size.

To enhance the sound capabilities of both the Satellite L and C series, Toshiba turned to the audiophiles at Skullcandy to provide a richer sound experience more commonly heard on more expensive laptops. To achieve clearer, more natural sound, Toshiba and Skullcandy, along with DTS, aligned to tune the built-in speakers to Skullcandy's audio spec, as well as integrate a custom sound profile with optimized settings for Skullcandy headphones and earbuds.

The new Satellite L Series and C Series laptops will be available on June 22, 2014 onwards, at $399.99 MSRP and $329.99 MSRP respectively.
