Last year, Toshiba introduced the Excite line at IFA. This year, however, I’m not finding much chatter.<\/p>\n
The company introduced a personal storage device called the STOR.E CLOUD<\/a> that looks kind-of sort-of interesting. Is the general consumer really building personal clouds though? This is a device that appeals to me, but I don’t see a wider audience.<\/p>\n You know what I do see a wider audience for? A unique, well-designed, Ultrabook tablet hybrid. There are a ton of touchable Ultrabooks out there, but they have that neither-fish-nor-foul vibe. We’re also seeing a lot of tablets you can tack a keyboard onto, such as the Asus Transformer line, but that’s more like one thing that’s pretending to be another. Toshiba wants to buck that trend with the U925t<\/a> Ultrabook. Ignoring that horrible jumble of a name, the U925t has a Core i5 chip, 128 GB SSD drive, USB 3.0 ports, and front- and rear- mounted cameras, topped off by a 12.5″ Gorilla Glass screen. Giving the screen a shove reveals a hidden keyboard. Even with all of that, the device weighs in at a little over three pounds. That’s not bad for a netbook or a massive 12.5″ tablet.<\/p>\n Could the U925t be the best of both worlds or a horrible amalgamation? We won’t know until we get a chance to go hands on. Thankfully, we usually catch up with Toshiba on the PR circuit, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last year, Toshiba introduced the Excite line at IFA.
