Toshiba was one of the first companies to launch a Windows laptop with a WQHD display. Now Toshiba’s going a step further with the first 12.5 inch convertible notebook featuring a 4K display.
The Toshiba Satellite Radius 12 will be available with up to an Intel Core i7 Skylake processor, up to 8GB of RAM, and a choice of a 12.5 inch, 1920 x 1080 pixel or 3840 x 2160 pixel display.
Toshiba says the Satellite Radius 12 will be available in the US in the fourth quarter of 2015.
The convertible has a touchscreen display that can be folded back 360 degrees until it’s back-to-back with the keyboard, allowing you to hold the notebook like a tablet.
Other features include a USB Type-C port, two full-sized USB ports, an HDMI port, and a headset jack. The convertible laptop has a Gorilla Glass NBT scratch-resistant screen and an LE dbacklit keyboard.
The Toshiba Satellite Radius measures about 0.6 inches thick and weighs 2.9 pounds.
Bring on the 4k wave! Having more devices with 4k will benefit everyone as the price of the panels will come down, like what 1080P did years ago. For people who use multiple screens for work, 4k screens on laptops allow for better productivity while mobile. Windows 10 snaps to quadrants helps too. I realise some people find the font too small, but you do adjust over time.
