infrared camera. Windows Hello enables customers to log in to the laptop
instantaneously using only their face.
"Toshiba has made significant investments to deliver an exceptional

Corp. "Toshiba's Satellite Radius 12 provides an optimized experience

Highest Resolution, Most Color-accurate Laptop Display Available
The Satellite Radius 12 can be configured with a brilliant 12.5-inch
diagonal IPS touchscreen display with a native 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160)
resolution that yields four times as many pixels as a Full HD display.
Designed with color accuracy in mind, the wide gamut RGB display
supports 100% Adobe® RGB color space reproduction, making it an ideal
choice for mobile content creators.
Lab tested and certified by the color experts at Technicolor®, this
laptop's display also meets the same strict standards for color fidelity
used in Hollywood movies.
"As our global society embraces a mobile lifestyle, Toshiba has released
a solution for consumers that offers no compromise when it comes to
delivering digital life and entertainment experiences," said Manuèle
Wahl, SVP Technology and Trademark Licensing, Technicolor. "Technicolor
has certified that the color accuracy offered by the Satellite Radius
12's 4K Ultra HD display delivers color faithful to the intention of all
content creators for viewing and enjoying digital content, including
movies, episodic television, online shopping, games and more. Just as
Technicolor has spent the past 100 years bringing amazing color to
traditional venues in theaters and homes, our partnership with Toshiba
will ensure that the same high-fidelity experience is extended to
consumers whenever they want - wherever they happen to be."
High on Performance, Low on Power
The laptps are powered by 6th Gen Intel Core processors, which deliver
significantly improved computing performance, enhanced graphics and
better power efficiency than the previous generation, resulting in a
long battery life rating. The new processor offers powerful performance
for streaming video, offering life-like HD video conferencing using
popular apps like Google (News - Alert) Hangouts™ and Skype™, while its increased
graphics performance is ideal for Xbox® gaming on Windows 10 with
DirectX® 12 support.
"We're excited with the introduction of Toshiba Satellite Radius 12, a
new generation of 2-in-1 based on the 6th Gen Intel Core processor,"
said Navin Shenoy, corporate vice president and general manager of
Intel's Mobile Client Platforms Group. "The 6th Gen Intel Core processor
is Intel's best processor ever, providing users with great performance
for productivity and multi-tasking. Its improved graphics and long
battery life also offer seamless and smooth gaming and video experiences
on the go."
Compact Without Compromise and Designed for Travel
The Satellite Radius 12 features a sleek, highly-mobile compact design
housed in durable aluminum to safeguard against the rigors of daily use.
Designed for travel, the device weighs just 2.9 pounds4 with
a slim 0.6-inch profile and includes a 360-degree precision hinge that
offers smooth transitions between its five viewing modes - Laptop,
Tablet, Tabletop, Presentation and Audience (News - Alert). The laptop features a
Brushed Metal Finish in Carbon Gray and includes an LED backlit keyboard.
The laptop's high-performance display is reinforced with all-new
Gorilla® Glass NBT™, which offers 8x-10x higher scratch resistance than
soda lime glass displays, plus high levels of damage resistance so it is
better able to withstand the shock of accidental bumps as it's carried
from place to place.
Availability
The Satellite Radius 12 will be available for purchase in the U.S.
starting in the fourth quarter of 2015.
