60% Toshiba Satellite Radius 12

Looked at that way, the Toshiba Satellite 12 seems like a good deal. But when spending money on a high-end laptop, or even a mid-range one, it’s important to know it will hold up to steady use. A laptop that feels durable provides a sense of satisfaction not found with a flimsy rig. That’s where the Radius 12 stumbles.

World’s first 12-inch UHD convertible is not just all about the pixels
Source: Laptop Media
Well, Toshiba did it again. It offered superb build quality with precision made to last accompanied by impeccable image quality thanks to the UHD Sharp display. It proved that pixels aren’t the best part of this notebook because the panel has accurate color reproduction out of the box, high maximum brightness and nearly full (99.5%) sRGB coverage. It will serve well to people who are doing color-sensitive work on-the-go. The input devices will also serve well on-the-go but the size of the machine makes it impossible to integrate a full-sized keyboard. Nonetheless, the touchpad is big enough and the keyboard offers relatively comfortable typing experience. The only thing that doesn’t appeal to us from a design standpoint is the wacky screen hinge, which causes a wobbling effect. Anyway, in tablet or tent mode, the display performs fine while the size and ergonomics of the machine will easily fool you that you are working on a conventional tablet. And that’s good.

Everything you want in a laptop, save comfort. At first blush, the Toshiba Satellite Radius 12 looks like a sleek and portable do-everything computer, but it's not terribly good at actually getting things done. It's an average machine with below-average battery life, one that lacks the sophistication and comfort of its competitors.

The Toshiba Satellite Radius 12 P25W-C2300-4K is the modern equivalent of the Sony Video Walkman portable VCRs with built-in screens that we saw in the early 1990s. It's chock full of forward-looking technology, like a 4K screen, a sixth-generation Intel Core i7 processor, and a USB-C port, all in a compact package. However, its short battery life means you'll need to recharge the system fairly often. You'll have to make other concessions, like living with a smaller keyboard. The Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro remains our top pick for high-end convertible-hybrid laptops, with its long-lasting battery and innovative design.

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.  

6500U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

This screen diagoal is quite large for tablets but small for subnotebooks. Some convertibles are also represented with that size.

Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.
