Hands-on with the Toshiba Tecra W50 and its eye-popping 4K screen

We’re here at CES, checking out what’s new and great in the world of Windows. Toshiba announced two “laptops” earlier today that push bleeding edge specs. The Toshiba Tecra W50 and Satellite P50t both feature 4K displays. We swung by the Toshiba booth and spent a few minutes checking out the bigger and more powerful of the two machines – the Tecra W50.

As you can see, this isn’t a machine you’re going to be taking to your local coffee shop as you work on your screenplay. Instead, this is a machine for those of you needing to power through in your CAD programs and other intensive video work. The Tecra W50 has a 15.6-inch screen with a display resolution of 3840 x 2160. That’s a mind boggling 282 pixels per inch. You’ve got 4th generation Intel Core processors inside and an NVDIA Quadro K2100M GPU with 2GB of dedicated memory.

It’s an insane machine and something that is overkill for anything we do. Any of you out there have a need for a machine like this?
