Toshiba Portege Z20t convertible ultrabook with up to 17 hours of use
The Toshiba Portege Z20t is a professional ultrabook hybrid that can operate both as a traditional notebook as a tablet to use. This model integrates a 12.5-inch display with full HD resolution and has a very competitive range of up to 17 hours when we use portable format. In her womb we are one of the latest Intel Core M processors Broadwell generation with a RAM of up to 8 GB and Windows 8.1 operating system. We also have a stylus to operate the panel. All this in a very thin body of 1.59 kilos and a thickness of 2.1 inches . The Toshiba ultrabook hit the market in the coming weeks for a starting price of 1,400 euros.
Hybrids between tablet and laptop devices have become an option often repeated by manufacturers. However, this year it seems that these models will give a real leap in performance with very prolonged use. And the Toshiba Portege Z20t can reach up to 17 hours of use in its most advanced configuration (in other lower settings autonomy remains at just under 16 hours), a rather impressive. Of course, in a more intensive the team we can be in 11 or 12 hours, but still more than a day’s work without searching a nearby outlet. These times are achieved through the use of a battery in both the tablet and the keyboard dock. By the way, if we use the tablet baseless usage time we stay in a maximum of 9 hours.
The 12.5-inch panel Portege Z20t features a Full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and uses IPS technology, which favors wide viewing angles up to 178 degrees both horizontally and vertically. In addition, the company also includes a stylus to work with this panel, an accessory that can be quite useful. The desire for mobility Toshiba Portege Z20t is reinforced through its design, which reaches a maximum weight of 1.59 kilos in more advanced settings and competitive thickness of 2.1 inches. This is not one of the lightest laptops on the market, but still quite manageable and worth sacrificing a few grams to achieve such a long autonomy.
In the bowels of this model an Intel Core M processor Broadwell hides fifth generation. In more advanced settings Intel Core M5Y71 chip, dual core with a maximum power of 2.9 GHz is used, along with a RAM of 8 GB. These new processors from Intel are not very powerful, but seek to optimize energy efficiency to improve the autonomy of the equipment. As to the internal memory of Toshiba Portege Z20t, we have options in 128 GB or 256 GB SSD format.
Among the connections we were surprised to find a slot for an Ethernet cable, an inclusion helpful to connect via cable when we’re in the office. We also have WiFi, two USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI port on the keyboard area. Meanwhile, the Portege Z20t tablet itself has a Micro USB port or Micro HDMI port. Finally, good news that leaves this model is the inclusion of a set of cameras for both the rear to the front. Specifically, sports a 5 megapixel lens with autofocus, LED flash and video recording capability in 1080p in the housing, while in the front area have a 2 megapixel lens.
