The company is expanding its Satellite C Series, which is currently its top-selling line of portable computers.

The new Series C will be available in both 15.6- and 17.3-inch sized, both of which are HD TruBright displays. Additionally, both sizes will come with a dedicated Cortana button for easy access to Microsoft’s new virtual assistant. These C Series laptops will be available starting at $394.99 MSRP.

Next, the company announced the Satellite Fusion, a new line of 2-in-1 touchscreen laptops that can be converted into a tablet. The Fusion features a 15.6-inch touchscreen display, and packs up to 12GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive all into a case that is less than an inch thick.

Toshiba also announced the Satellite Radius, another 2-in-1 line targeted at video enthusiasts. The Radius will feature the first 2-in-1 PC to offer a 4K screen option, and also come with Harman Kardon stereo speakers.

The Satellite L Series also received an update, with two new laptops both featuring Skullcandy tuned stereo speakers. Both of these devices will retail for under $600 dollars, and come pre-installed with Windows 8.1 with a few upgrade to Windows 10 when it becomes available.

The Satellite S series was the last line updated by Toshiba today, and also will offer a 4K ultra HD screen option. The devices will feature quad-core and dual-core processor options, and up to 2TB of storage.

Workato Chat Bot Brings Enterprise Workflow Into Slack

As we head into 2016, enterprise chat applications like Slack are suddenly a hot commodity, and if you’re inside chat a good portion of the day the argument goes, you should be able to access other work without leaving the chat client. This is exactly what Workato’s newly announced chat bot, Workbot, is designed to do. Chat bots are small programs that integrate with a chat platform and provide some advanced type of functionality in a fairly easy fashion. The new Workbot-chat bot enables users to access and control over 100 enterprise applications such as a Salesforce CRM record, Quickbooks accounting information or Zendesk customer service interactions directly inside of Slack. One of the primary issues with early Enterprise 2.0 tools was that they were just another application busy employees needed to pay attention to.

Visa confirms Coinbase wasn’t at fault for overcharging users

Yesterday, we wrote that Coinbase customers were being charged multiple times for past transactions. While some speculated that the erroneous withdraws were down to a Coinbase engineering issue, Coinbase issued a statement saying it wasn’t liable for the duplicate charges. The blame, instead, rested with Visa for the way it handled a migration of merchant categories for cryptocurrencies, Coinbase said. While you can read my post yesterday for an in-depth description of what happened, the basic gist is that Visa refunded and recharged (under a different merchant category) a month of old transactions. Many users saw the recharge come through before the refund processed, making it look like they were double charged. Honestly, the issue was likely exacerbated by existing payment rails — it’s normal for refunds to take multiple days to show up on credit and debit statements. But here’s where it gets weird — this morning Visa issued a statement to some publications shifting the blam...

How ad-free subscriptions could solve Facebook

At the core of Facebook’s “well-being” problem is that its business is directly coupled with total time spent on its apps. The more hours you pass on the social network, the more ads you see and click, the more money it earns. That puts its plan to make using Facebook healthier at odds with its finances, restricting how far it’s willing to go to protect us from the harms of over use. The advertising-supported model comes with some big benefits, though. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly said that “We will always keep Facebook a free service for everyone.” Ads lets Facebook remain free for those who don’t want to pay, and more importantly, for those around the world who couldn’t afford to. Ads pay for Facebook to keep the lights on, research and develop new technologies, and profit handsomely in a way that attracts top talent and further investment. More affluent users with more buying power in markets like the US, UK, and Canada command higher ad prices, effectively...
