World's first 4K laptop Toshiba Satellite P50 arrives in India for Rs 86,000 - Tech2


The Satellite P50t-B is powered by a fourth generation Intel Core i series processor (Core i7-4700HQ). That’s one of the best in the business with 6M Cache, and a clock speed of up to 3.40 GHz. You can configure the laptop with up to 16GB of 1600MHz DDR3L RAM. In terms of graphics power, Toshiba has packed in an AMD Radeon R9 M265X dedicated GPU, and there’s a healthy 1TB of HDD space, which comes with shock protection.

The port selection of the Toshiba Satellite P50 is pretty good: it has four USB 3.0 ports, a UHS-II SD card slot, a 4K-capable HDMI port, and a rewritable CD drive. Toshiba’s other 4K-toting laptops include the W50 has not been announced for the Indian market, as that’s a seriously high-end machine meant for professional users, which may not find an audience here. Then there’s the Satellite P55t, which has also not been announced for India.

The Satellite P50 has a slim design for a laptop in its size range and is only 27.9mm-thick. We can expect Harman Kardon branded stereo speakers that are a signature addition in Toshiba laptops, along with the company’s Sleep & Music feature, that allows users to listen to music even when the laptop is in sleep mode.

they could've included a better GPU instead of that overkill 4k screen.

i think its the point of the laptop, aimed at screenwhores.

Screen Whores are generally designers,developers and photographers!
People will cent percent prefer a much better card!

Nice laptop and there is nothing called a "screen whore". The screen is THE MOST VALUABLE ASSET of a multimedia device, its nice to have a good screen(something for which I really envy the macbooks).

The processor is good but the R9 M265X seems to be performing on the same levels as the 8850M(it has the same exact specs) which isn't sufficient for gaming smoothly at 4K resolution however it should be sufficient for gaming at FHD.

All in all, I would say thats it a very nice package in 86K.

Cheers!

Fit a ferrari's engine to a truck and expect it to run like a ferrari.
