Toshiba 4K Ultra HD Convertible Laptop To Begin Shipping Sunday

Toshiba’s Satellite Radius 12 4K Ultra HD convertible laptop will be available Sunday, the company said Tuesday. The Radius 12, with a 12.5-inch IPS touch-screen display, was calibrated and certified by Technicolor for color fidelity, and Corning’s Gorilla Glass protects against damage, Toshiba said. The PC’s 360-degree hinge rotates into five viewing modes: laptop, tablet, tabletop, presentation and audience, the company said. The Harman Kardon audio system adapts automatically to the viewing mode, and DTS processing tunes speakers for volume and quality, Toshiba said. The laptop is powered by a sixth-generation Intel Core processor and 8 GB of RAM, and can be configured with a 256 GB or 512 GB solid-state drive. For security, the Radius 12 features Windows Hello with facial authentication, Toshiba said. Ports include one HDMI capable of 4K output, one USB Type-C connector that enables USB 3.1 data transfer and two USB 3.0 ports, one of which has USB Sleep & Charge technology that can power mobile devices in sleep or off mode, the company said. The 2.9-pound laptop will be available at Best Buy for $1,299, and an HD model will start at $999, Toshiba said.
