New 4K Toshiba Notebook A Dud Sucks Battery Life Claims OZ

X

The all new all singing Toshiba 4K Ultra High Definition display notebook has a major problem it sucks battery life for the simple reason that it has a high resolution screen which delivers little if any benefits over a normal notebook display.

The Australian newspaper claims that despite having Harman Kardon speakers the file sound quality is poor and “a bit muffled” when an average audio file is played. 

Remember notebooks are designed to be portable and have good battery life but according to the reviewers at the Australian newspaper the Satellite P50t-B when playing a video “chomped up a full battery charge in 163 minutes” which basically means that if you watch a 4K movie on an aeroplane and don’t have power you will be getting off with a very low battery. 
  
The Satellite P50t-B comes full 3840×2160 UHD resolution display screen which needs more battery power than a normal notebook display screen. Coupled with the fact that there is very little 4K content to play on a 4K display screen one has to question why Toshiba decided to go early with an Ultra High Definition display screen.

Despite doing a review the Australian newspaper did not give the new notebook a rating. 
 
The new Toshiba offering comes with an Intel Core i7 4700HQ quad core processor (rated 2.40 gigahertz), Radeon HD 8800M graphics from rival AMD together with up to 16 gigabytes of internal memory.

To watch a 4K movie which is four times the file size of a normal movie one has to be prepared to chew up a lot of bandwidth or you can transfer an Ultra High Definition file to a USB3.0 portable hard drive to play on this notebook.


The laptop has fast 802.11ac WI-Fi, a 1 terabyte standard hard drive and a Blu-ray player that does not allow 4K movies to be played when inserted into the Blu ray player.

What you’ll need to play a 4K movie is a multi-layered Blu-ray player and the jury is still out as to what standard will be adopted which is why they are few and far between. 

Normally Toshiba has excellent notebooks but this one appears to be a real dud especially as it is pricy for an i7 model which will set you back over $2,300.

Retailers that we have spoken to doubt whether this notebook will be a “top seller”.
