Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite P50T-B-10K

70% Toshiba Satellite P50T-B-10K review: Good value Windows laptop with dazzling 4K display
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
The dazzling 4K display of the P50T-B-10K is genuinely in a class of its own, and will certainly appeal to professional photographers and video-editors. It may look good value when compared to rivals such as Apple's MacBook Pro with Retina Display but its poor battery life means that it will rarely leave the office, while professional users will likely be frustrated by Windows programs that don't work correctly with the 3840 x 2160 resolution display.

Featuring a gorgeous 4K display, Toshiba prioritises image quality over battery life. The image quality provided by the 4K display is outstanding and it's complemented by the strong all-round performance and a competitive price. Weight and battery life are weaknesses but they can be overlooked.

The Toshiba Satellite P50t is positioned primarily at the early adopter, or those of you who need a portable machine with which to work on 4K video files. It’s a solid computer that offers good quickness and plenty of built-in features, and its screen is definitely splendid. The only problems are the reflections that come off the screen, which can make for an annoying viewing experience, and the poor battery life, which can limit the unit’s mobility.

We like the idea of a workstation laptop with a high-resolution screen: more pixels means more desktop real estate, which means more windows and applications open at the same time, and the ability to work with images and videos in finer detail. Toshiba’s panel has the highest resolution we’ve seen on a laptop of this size, and it’s got exceptional accuracy, contrast, brightness and black point figures that sneak ahead of the Dell as its also-excellent screen. But it also suffers from the same scaling issues as every other high-resolution Windows notebook. Some applications are blurry or pixelated, others can’t be seen without squinting, and it makes for an irritating experience. Until third-parties fix these issues, we’d still prefer to work on a 1080p panel.

AMD Radeon R9 M265X:

Mid-range mobile GPU based on the GCN architecture with GDDR5 memory.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  


4700HQ: Haswell-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.4 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.4 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a Japanese conglomerate or technology group. The company was established in 1939 and in 1978 Toshiba became the official company name. The company's products and services include power, industrial and social infrastructure systems, elevators and escalators, electronic components, semiconductors, hard drives, printers, batteries, lighting, logistics and information technology. Toshiba was one of the largest manufacturers of personal computers, consumer electronics, home appliances and medical equipment.


71.25%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
