Toshiba unveils AMD-powered hybrid laptop, 8-inch W8 tablet,and more

Samsung and Sony garnered most of the tech press’ consideration yesterday with a smartwatch and smartphone-tethering cameras. But Toshiba is hoping to make some waves today, saying a trio of new products that â€" while possibly not as revolutionary â€" are undoubtedly intriguing in their personal proper â€" especially if you’re looking for a new price range-priced notebook or pill.

Satellite Click on

Very first off, the Toshiba Satellite Simply click is a thirteen.3-inch IPS touchscreen removable laptop computer/tablet hybrid that is most noticeable since of its lack of Intel-dependent internals. As an alternative, the Click will activity a low-electricity AMD A4 (Temash) processor, Radeon 8000 graphics, a 500GB challenging push, 4GB of RAM, and dual batteries.

Its design and style appears a little bit like HP’s Envy x2, but the Click will presumably at minimum be a bit more powerful than the x2’s Intel Atom processor. Like the x2, Toshiba claims the Simply click has no enthusiast, so you can count on it currently being useless-peaceful.

Toshiba claims the Click’s removable higher tablet part Rs1i will have a Webcam, Micro USB 2., an HDMI port, and a MicroSD slot. The keyboard base, alongside with an additional battery, will include a USB 3. port with sleep-charging capabilities. We’d like to see a complete-measurement SD card slot listed here, but Toshiba can make no point out of that feature in the press release. It also does not mention display resolution, so it’s safe to resume it is not 1080p.

These hunting for a relaxed notebook encounter, though, will be satisfied to hear the hinge opens up to a hundred twenty five levels in notebook method.

Toshiba suggests the Click will be offered in September, exclusively at Greatest Buy retailers. But price, at least for the minute, is still a mystery.

Toshiba Encore

Following up, the Toshiba Encore is an 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablet that looks to give Lenovo’s Miix eight and Acer’s Iconia W3 some competitors. The Intel Atom-run slate is mentioned to be a relatively chunky .42 inches thick, but weighs just more than a pound (16.9 ounces), with a scant 32GB of storage and a MicroSD slot, along with a USB two. port.

The 8-inch, 1,280 x 800 Lcd display won’t acquire any resolution accolades, but Toshiba does guarantee “wide viewing angles.” The firm also claims the pill will ship with a complete duplicate of Business office House & Scholar 2013, along with the Xbox Wise Glass app and a “free streaming move to Xbox Music” (no term on how long that lasts).

 

The Encore’s specs may possibly not just be interesting, but at the very least pricing appears appealing, specially if you were currently organizing on buying a duplicate of Business office 2013. Toshiba claims the Encore will be offered at significant retailers and e-tailers in November for an MSRP of $330.

If you prepare on in fact carrying out function with Encore, however, count on to also be finding up a keyboard and a stand. The organization phone calls the Encore “Great for engage in. Excellent for function.” But there’s no mention of any input method, other than contact.

Satellite NB15T contact-enabled laptop

And lastly, the Satellite NB15t seems to be to undercut low-priced touchscreen laptops like Asus’ VivoBooks and HP’s Touchsmart Sleekbooks, with an enticing commencing MSRP of $380 and a smooth-looking style for a spending budget notebook.

At that value, even though, the specs are not specifically thrilling. The 11-inch NB15T will run on an Intel Celeron (N2810) twin-main processor and sport a 500GB difficult generate. The laptop will have USB three. and an SD card reader. And at three.3 pounds, it won’t feel like a brick in your bag.

Toshiba says the NB15T will be available in November by means of on the web merchants an at ToshibaDirect.com
