Toshiba shows off 14-inch Ultrabook
So much enthusiasm. This is my first CES and while GM may be correct to think that some of my fellow bloggers on this journey to find technology a bit boring, I rose with joy just checked just to be here. But I was very pleased with these for a couple of weeks since I went to meet with Toshiba and get a glimpse of her last tablet.
It may not be obvious that the CES earlier this week, so forgive us for abandoning a spoiler, you’ll see a lot – and we hear a lot – 14 inches Ultrabooks. Things on the big screen, a little space for the optical drive and discrete graphics – the types of systems that were first called Ultrabooks thin and light. (Potatoes, potahto, we have the right?) It is clear that invaded Ultras will be one thing if you buy into the marketing, and now you can count on Toshiba as a proud member of the Welcome Wagon. The company is a 14-inch screen at CES here, and although not ready to confirm specifications, price or model name, who came to spend a few minutes of poking and units of pre-production. So far, we know that will cost well below $ 1,000, and sold on time in June and the season starts back to school shopping. If you want history, you can go directly to hand tape and check out our first impressions after the break.
In fact, the Ultrabook, which ends up being called, has more in common with the current laptops satellites making Ultrabook first Toshiba, the Portégé Z835. While the Z835 is very thin and light as 2.47 pounds, it has the same edges and rounded corners are the current generation of satellites. Everything is smooth, unpretentious and accessible. And while the Z835 is made from a durable magnesium alloy, its elder brother is cast aluminum with a plastic sheet on the bottom. However, Toshiba has benefited at least to eliminate the design of the Z835 with everything he did so messy: chrome accents, the hinge of irregular shape, a pinch of LED lights. All that is gone, and instead of finding a keyboard Spartan ClickPad and many buttons that is removed. (For better or for worse, however, the squat, the keys seem to emerge unchanged.) That said, it is more likely a more contemporary design that the Z835 has to offer, but not very original.
