Toshiba has just unveiled its new Satellite P55t laptop with a whopping 4K Ultra HD display, delivering four times the visual sharpness of standard PC screens.
More specifically, Toshiba's new 4K has the same type of sharp display that the latest flat-screen TVs boast, delivering astonishing visuals. The Satellite P55t is capable of displaying four times as many pixels as a typical HD screen and is the world's first Technicolor Color certified laptop display, according to the company.
"Creative professionals are embracing 4K Ultra HD as it enables a whole new level of media creation that draws viewers in with amazing detail and clarity," touts Carl Pinto, vice president of marketing at Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., Digital Products Division.
"Until now, media creators have been unable to have this combination of performance and display capabilities in a mobile solution and we applied years of experience and engineering resources to make it a reality."
"Our color certification team worked very closely with the engineering team at Toshiba to ensure the highest levels of color calibration on this laptop's display," added Manuele Wahl, senior vice president of Licensing at Technicolor. "We applied the same rigor of testing and calibration used on major motion pictures to ensure not only that photographers and videographers now see what they shot in perfect color, but consumers can also experience 4K film and videos as Hollywood directors intended."
In terms of specifications, the new Toshiba Satellite P55t sports a 15.6-inch UltraHD TruBrite touchscreen display with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and a pixel density of 282 pixels per inch (ppi). Toshiba made the display using IPS technology, i.e. the same tech used in high-end smartphones such as iPhones, which allows for wider viewing angles and higher resolutions.
Under the hood, the laptop packs a fourth-generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processor, up to 16GB of 1600MHz DDR3L memory, and AMD Radeon R9 M265X freaphics with 2GB of GDDR5 video memory. Other specs include a large 1-terabyte drive, four USB 3.0 ports, Harmon Kardon stereo speakers, and a built-in Blu-ray Disc rewriteable drive, among others. The device also comes with a full version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 to take full advantage of its amazing edge-to-edge liquid-crystal display. The brush aluminum finish, meanwhile, makes the Toshiba P55t look and feel premium and stylish.
Toshiba's new 4K laptop will go on sale on April 22 sporting a $1,500 price tag and will be available directly from the company's website.
