Oh Toshiba... anything they can do, you can do better, is it? While other companies announce laptops with 2,560 x 1,440 screens, Toshiba is one-upping everyone by showing off the Satellite P50t, a notebook computer with a 15.6-inch, 3,840 x 2,160 display. That also gives it a screen density of 282 pixels per inch - which is 294% more pixels than the standard 96DPI most Windows set-ups are catered for and thus results in some VERY small icons indeed. It's unlikely you'll appreciate the extra screen density for a while too given a distinct lack of Windows software or apps designed for such high resolution screens -- but then this is a problem for high-res as a whole, not the laptop itself. Colours really pop however, and Toshiba have seen fit to ensure the screen is well-built enough to offer a range of viewing angles. The laptop is also planned to have a mix of Core i5/i7 processors, but nothing else is yet known specs-wise. We suppose all will be revealed when this finally goes on sale - which Toshiba tells us should be "sometime mid-year".
