The Toshiba Satellite Click 2 Pro P30W is another example of the new breed of convertible devices that combine the functionality of a laptop with the use of a tablet. This model advocates a 13.3-inch IPS panel, weighing a total of 1.98 kilos (keyboard and panel) and incorporates a good set of technical features to keep up a top team. A fourth-generation processor Intel Core, two USB 3.0 ports or a pair of speakers with the signing of Harman Kardon are some of its greatest assets. We had the chance to test the Satellite Click 2 Pro P30W, available for a price of 1,100 euros. We tell our impressions.
Design and Display
This team is committed to a somewhat different design than what we usually find in the convertible devices. Your panel is hooked on the keyboard, but the support is placed something in front of the rim, so it is a small space that stands once seated. This position allows for greater balance to the model and prevents the display from falling backwards when not grabbing the keyboard. However, this design cannot escape a certain feeling of instability that detracts from the final result when we use it as a traditional laptop.
The Japanese company uses a coupling system which is not very intuitive at first glance and to be accustomed. Luckily include small illustrations with the necessary movements in the upper area of the keyboard itself to perform this task. Once we’ve removed, we can enjoy a wide format tablet 13.3 inches. Its dimensions are at 331 x 215 x 10.9 mm and weighs 945 grams reaches. If we use this model in the form of traditional notebook measures up to 331 x 249 x 19.9 mm and the weight goes up to 1.9 kilos. As we can see, it is not a particularly small by the standards of an ultrabook computer. If our primary use will be portable, it is likely that is most useful to bet on a traditional model as the Toshiba Kira or Portégé Z30 touchscreen.
Yes, the construction of this model was made of aluminum in gold which is quite sturdy and stylish. In addition, a spear must also break the keyboard on this computer. Despite not having much height, the keys are well spaced and the user experience is quite comfortable and agile. A very important point to squeeze all the juice office applications such as Office. In addition, the keyboard has backlighting so we can write in the dark.
As for the panel, it is one of the highlights of the Toshiba laptop. This IPS display reaches a Full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. But most of all we would like to highlight its good level of brightness and provides tactile feedback. As a result, this model becomes an excellent choice for multimedia applications such as movie viewing.
A multimedia computer
In the bowels of Toshiba Satellite Click 2 Pro P30W found a processor Intel Core i5-4210U the fourth generation of Intel chips. This model has dual core with a power of 1.7 GHz (expandable to 2.7 GHz) with a RAM of 8 GB. This is a pretty good deal to many applications but falls a bit short when facing more demanding games (lack a dedicated graphics card) together. But among its Full HD IPS display and speakers Harman Kardon first level we have a great team to watch movies and enjoy multimedia content.
To store our files this model advocates a 128GB SSD. This format provides reliability and faster than HDD, with advantages such as starting the computer in just five seconds.
Operating System and Applications
The chosen operating system is Windows 8.1. The Microsoft platform has been designed to take advantage of both classic desktop environments like touch capabilities of mobile devices. Although it has been widely criticized, today is the strongest alternative to enjoy convertibles equipment designed for work and play. This system is compatible with the vast majority of desktop applications that run under Windows 7, and also has a store own applications Microsoft to squeeze touch functionality. Of course this store cannot be compared to platforms like Android or iOS, but in recent years has greatly increased the supply of securities (and quality).
Toshiba has also included several own applications to improve the performance of Toshiba Satellite Click 2 Pro P30W. For example, we Toshiba Media Player are a multimedia player with an attractive appearance that has been polished to run well through the touch functionality. My Toshiba also highlights a simple website with some deals of the mark or the weather forecast.
Connectivity
Within connections Toshiba Satellite Click 2 Pro P30W connectors must differentiate belonging to the keyboard and those found in the tablet itself. In the latter case, we have a USB 2.0 port to connect peripherals such as USB sticks or mice. It also includes a micro HDMI output (you’ll need an adapter cable) to display the contents of the team on TV. The connectors are completed with WiFi connectivity, Bluetooth 4.0 connection and an SD card to expand the space. However, once hooked the tablet to the keyboard are two additional USB 3.0 ports (one with charging function when the computer is in sleep mode), an HDMI port and full-size card reader.
Autonomy, price and reviews
According to official data of Toshiba, this model has a maximum range of up to 6 hours and 45 minutes. In our tests, we achieved an average usage time of about four hours with the brightness near the maximum and usual work browsing and office automation. The market price of the Toshiba Satellite Click 2 Pro P30W amounts to 1,100 euros. In short, it is a model with a good set of technical specifications that fails to marry the whole concept of a convertible computer. Its total weight of 1.98 kilos make one wonder whether it is worth giving up other tactile signature laptops have a 13.3-inch tablet. Beyond that, we really liked the response of the display brightness level both as a response to tactile touches, plus your speaker Harman Kardon.
