Toshiba Gulf has launched its first convertible ultrabook, the Satellite U920t that combines the performance of a laptop with touchscreen functionality and portability.

The 31.8 cm (12.5-inch) convertible ultrabook transforms easily from a laptop mode to a flat touchscreen interface through its slide-and-tilt hinge design. This unique innovation enables use in traditional laptop mode for optimum productivity or a switch to its touch functionality by sliding the screen over the top of the keyboard for portability.

“The Satellite U920t offers versatile functionality to users who want a notebook and a touch LCD panel in one device. Operating in Windows 8, the U920t provides optimum usage for both content consumption and creation,” shares Santosh Varghese, general manager, Digital Products and Services, Toshiba Gulf.

The U920t features an integrated solid state drive (SSD) of up to 128GB of storage, offering quicker boot up times and faster access to data. It also offers up to 6 hours battery life based on Mobile Mark 2007.

The Satellite U920t supports the Near-Field Communication (NFC) technology that allows for short-range wireless communication when transferring or recognising another device, allowing the pairing and setting up of a peripheral wireless device through the NFC option.

It also features essential sensors including a built-in Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) that automatically adjusts lighting conditions to save power, as well as an accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope for a high-performance gaming application.

The Satellite U920t features two integrated USB 3.0 ports, plus a full-size HDMI port that lets sharing of content on a big screen TV.
