Toshiba Unveils Ultra-Thin Hybrid Laptop For Business

Toshiba has launched a new hybrid laptop aimed at business users in an effort to muscle its way into the crowded enterprise PC market.

The Portégé X20W-D, which Toshiba claims is “the world’s thinnest and lightest 2-in-1 business laptop to utilise a full power 7th Generation Intel Core processor” comes equipped with a 12.5-inch non-reflective touchscreen display and up to 16.5 hours of battery life.

Mobile users can also make use of “step charge technology,” which provides four hours of battery life from a 30-minute charge, essentially rapid charging by another name.
