Toshiba Satellite P50t-BST2N01 review: The first laptop to boast a 4K display

May 23, 2014

Toshiba’s Satellite P50t boasts two important firsts: It’s the first laptop to feature a 4K display, and it’s the first to be Technicolor Color Certified. You likely have at least a passing familiarity with 4K video, but I would argue that the latter claim to fame—which you might never have heard of—deserves more praise. It’s easy to go gaga over the Satellite P50t’s display, which boasts a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels. The laptop is outfitted with a 15.6-inch screen, which means it offers an eye-popping pixel density of 282 ppi. But don’t buy this laptop in anticipation of watching your favorite movies and TV shows in glorious 4K—there is almost no content available in that format right now. Yes, Netflix is streaming House of Cards in 4K, and the company plans to stream Breaking Bad episodes at the same resolution later this year. But Netflix recommends having a broadband connection of at least 25 Mbps to get it. I don’t know about you, but my ISP tops out at about half that rate.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
