Amidst launches from Samsung and Sony, Toshiba too is making its
presence felt at IFA 2012. The company showcased its Windows 8
Ultrabook, Toshiba Satellite U925t. This is the same slider tablet the
company had been put on display at Computex 2012 held earlier in the
year.
The features of this Ultraboook are 12.5-inch Gorilla Glass
touchscreen, Core i5 processor and a 128 GB solid-state drive. It is
expected to have two USB 3.0 ports, a memory card reader, HDMI port and a
3.5mm headphone jack. There is a 3 megapixel rear camera and for video
chats, a front HD webcam. Toshiba U925t will also have NFC built in for
hassle free sharing of files.
As of now, there's no official word
in regards to the pricing of this tablet but it is expected to retail
for over $1,000. Though Toshiba has not shared when exactly it will be
outing this Ultrabook but it is expected to hit the shelves only after
October 26, as this is the day when Microsoft will be officially
releasing Windows 8 operating system.
Ultrabook is a relatively
new product category yet all popular personal computer makers such as
HP, Sony, Samsung, Fujitsu, Dell, Acer, Asus, Lenovo etc. are already
offering them. It is expected that with the introduction of Windows 8
would further add a dash of freshness to this category.
