Part of Toshiba’s ‘Greatest of All’ range, the Satellite P50 features the world’s first UltraHD or 4K display on a notebook. The TruBrite 15.6-inch display has a resolution of 3840×2160 pixels and is touch compatible as well. The Japanese PC giant hasn’t exactly been setting the market on fire in India, as Lenovo, HP and Dell have cornered much of the market. However, the 4K display and the not-so-exorbitant price tag may make the P50 a hit, but only if 4K displays become a industry trend, which they aren’t yet.

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.

A 4K touch screen laptop with good graphics built-in, and an i7 is a very good steal at 90K. What would make/ break a impression is the battery life of the device, considering the monster resolution screen.
