Toshiba Satellite Radius

Along with its Encore 2 tablets, Toshiba also presented its renewed commitment to convertibles with the Toshiba Satellite Radius With it, the Japanese company has opted to follow Lenovo's line with its Yoga range and has created a computer capable of being used in tablet or laptop mode thanks to hinges that allow the screen to be folded 360 degrees.

In this case, and unlike what was done with its tablets, Toshiba has opted for larger screen diagonals in its Satellite Radius convertible, which it has also provided with better design and specifications.
