Toshiba Launches 4K Ultra HD Laptop
Toshiba's Digital Products Division (DPD), a division of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., today unveiled its new Satellite P55t, featuring one of the world's first 4K Ultra HD display in a laptop and the world's first to earn Technicolor Color Certification. Ideal for visual creative professionals and multimedia enthusiasts, the Satellite P55t is designed to take on the most intensive computing demands and display unprecedented imagery.
"Creative professionals are embracing 4K Ultra HD as it enables a whole new level of media creation that draws viewers in with amazing detail and clarity," said Carl Pinto, vice president of marketing, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., Digital Products Division. "Until now, media creators have been unable to have this combination of performance and display capabilities in a mobile solution and we applied years of experience and engineering resources to make it a reality.
World's First Technicolor Color Certified Laptop Display
The Satellite P55t's 15.6-inch diagonal Ultra HD TruBrite touchscreen display shows lifelike crystal-clear definition and houses four times as many pixels as a Full HD screen. Delivering a native 3840 x 2160 resolution with 282 PPI (pixels per inch), the display produces smoother imagery and an astounding level of detail. The display, with IPS technology, also allows for higher resolutions and wider viewing angles, enabling photographers, videographers, graphic designers and entertainment enthusiasts to create, review and view media with the confidence the colors are true and accurate.
Each Ultra HD display is individually calibrated by Chroma Tune and is Technicolor Certified during production to realize natural color expression with an accurate color gamut to ensure true-to-life imagery. As a result, everything displayed on screen is reproduced according to the original intent and there are no mismatches when viewing photos or other imagery. In addition, with the preinstalled Chroma Tune for Toshiba software, users can personalize and manage individual color space control and apply profiles to a variety of software applications.
"Our color certification team worked closely with the engineering team at Toshiba to ensure the highest levels of color calibration on this laptop's display," said Manuele Wahl, senior vice president, Licensing at Technicolor. "We applied the same rigor of testing and calibration used on major motion pictures to ensure not only that photographers and videographers now see what they shot in perfect color, but consumers can also experience 4K film and videos as Hollywood directors intended."
To complement the display's broad range of colors, the Satellite P55t 4K Ultra HD model includes a full version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 software, ideal for photographers who want to organize, perfect and share amazing images.
Premium Performance for Demanding Tasks
Designed to give users everything needed to create 4K content with ease, the laptop features a powerful 4th generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processor, up to 16 GB of dual-channel 1600 MHz DDR3L memory and AMD Radeon R9 M265X enthusiast-class graphics with 2 GB GDDR5 video memory. To store and share HD content, the laptop includes a 1 TB hard drive with a 3D impact sensor, four USB 3.0 ports, a UHS-II SD card slot, ultrafast 802.11ac Wi-Fi to stream Ultra HD videos, an HDMI port capable of 4K output and an available built-in Blu-ray Disc Re-writable drive.
The Satellite P55t is equipped with high-quality stereo speakers by Harman Kardon, a leader in premium audio, complemented by audio processing by DTS, providing outstanding audio quality for both movies and games. The laptop also features Toshiba's unique Sleep & Music feature, allowing users to take advantage of the high-quality speakers even when the laptop is off.
Stunning Design
With sophisticated styling and a modern design, the Satellite P55t's design is as striking as its display, featuring edge-to-edge LCD glass, a frameless LED-backlit keyboard, spacious clickpad and a cool brushed Aluminum finish.
Availability
The new Satellite P55t 4K Ultra HD will be available on April 22, 2014 direct from Toshiba for $1,499.99 MSRP.

Which are pretty far and few between.
Terrible for web, text would be ti ny (because ti ny is now another blocked word, yay).
I have 24in monitor and when I try to downscale from 2k to the 1080p the monitor is i cant read nothing in any sort of comfort, and Gaming at that res is almost impossible cause most game dont even scale the ui to the res being used

Not really, no. Depends on browser, but I'm using IE which works excellently with touch, smooth scrolling, and finger-based zooming. I'm on a 3200x1800 13.3" laptop display (Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 2 Pro) with very, very similar PPI to this Toshiba.
Lenovo had the good idea of setting the Windows DPI scaling at 200% themselves because otherwise, Windows is unusable (learned from their mistake of not shipping the laptop with 200% scaling).
As more and more applications cater for high-resolution, high-DPI, resolution-indepedent scaling, this will be a non-issue.
3200x1800 can be run at 1600x900 and 3840x2160 can be run at 1080p, for those applications that just don't want to scale now. As for daily usage, we're already good to go at native reso.

I'm not going to buy this, but I like how 4K is becoming mainstream. Judging from this, it looks like there won't be that bad of a sticker shock as one would expect.

Nice, 4K gettin cheaper.. Unfortunately still not even close to my 350euro for 4K 27inch expectation
Somehow am getting a feeling that if Rift comes before the really cheap 4K I wont even bother upgrading my monitor.There will simply be no need
