Toshiba Singapore Pte Ltd has announced the availability of its ultra slim Portégé X30 and Tecra X40 notebooks in the Philippines this month with a promise of providing a premium, powerful, and secure experience for professional users.
Portégé X30
Built with sleek and lightweight designs, these devices are designed, produced and tested entirely by Toshiba, and are the latest additions to the company’s lineup of ultra-thin and ultra-light business laptops.
Tecra X40
Both notebooks sport a magnesium chassis as well as a hybrid cooling technology which allows their 7th-generation Intel Core i7 processors to achieve maximum performance. Both will also be available iconic Onyx Blue and Light Gold color schemes complimented by a slick hairline finish.
“These additions to our notebook range mark our unswerving dedication to innovating for our business customers, creating products that don’t compromise on performance, connectivity, features, battery life or durability.”
“The Portégé X30 and Tecra X40 are the result of us channeling our heritage and expertise in mobile devices into every step of the development process, from design and manufacturing, to durability testing, and we’re confident this will shine through in the premium, professional experience they provide.” – Ms Wong Wai Meng, Senior Manager of Product Strategy at Toshiba Singapore Pte Ltd, Mobile Computing Solutions & Devices Division.
Performance Without Compromises
The 14-inch Tecra X40 sports a 16.9mm thin body and weighs 1.25kg, while the 13.3-inch Portégé X30 weighs in at just 1.05kg is 15.9mm thin.
The premium magnesium alloy chassis comes with a built-in shock absorption and unique honeycomb reinforcement for added durability. Both notebooks sport anti-glare displays with wide view angles and optional in-cell touch technology.
Beyond the screens, the two notebooks are also equipped with backlit keyboards with slightly enlarged keys to ensure optimum travel and durability for those who work on the go.
Secure and Connected
Both the Portégé X30 and Tecra X40 feature multiple layers of security inside and out. It has a new Touchpad with a built-in fingerprint sensor in addition to an optional IR camera which allows for facial authentication using Intel Authenticate and Windows Hello. Used in combination, these can provide a more personal and password-free way of securely logging in.
These layers of protection are further bolstered by Toshiba’s own built-in BIOS, which eliminates the risk of third party interference which may render a device vulnerable to attacks and unauthorized access. There’s also an optional SmartCard reader available for both devices.
Premium Portability and Usability
The Portégé X30 and Tecra X40 are fitted with exceptionally fast PCIe solid state drives as well as DDR4 memory, which provides support for broadband speeds that are up to 33% faster than its DDR3L predecessor. Both notebooks also follow in the footsteps of the Portégé X20W-D through a premium audio experience courtesy of harman/kardon stereo speakers and DTS Sound software.
Both also come with Advanced connectivity features which includes compatibility with a wide range of dongles for different scenarios. The laptops are also designed for use with a new optional Thunderbolt 3 dock which enables data transfers, provides power, a display port, and a range of other modern ports including two USB-Type C ports, a full-size USB 3.0 port, an HDMI port, and even a microSD card slot.
