Toshiba's Portege Z10t detachable Ultrabook debuts at IDF

Judging by the looks of it, we're confident that this is actually the Portege Z10t that hit the FCC last month -- the vents, camera and logo on the back match those in the drawing (embedded after the break) filed in the application.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Gallery Image" height="426" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/dsc0332.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="426" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/toshiba-detachable-idf-2013-2013-04-10-3.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="426" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/toshiba-detachable-idf-2013-2013-04-10-4.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/toshiba-detachable-idf-2013-2013-04-10-5.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/toshiba-detachable-idf-2013-2013-04-10-6.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/toshiba-detachable-idf-2013-2013-04-10-7.jpg" width="640" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> As you can see, unlike Toshiba's previous Windows 8 convertible laptop, this second attempt is a detachable and features an absurdly large hinge sleeve, with the small release mechanism positioned in the middle of the hinge. The keyboard looks pretty slim in most parts, yet it also packs a backlit keyboard plus both a trackpad and a pointing stick; and most importantly, overall the docked device doesn't seem to be top-heavy. The 10-inch tablet itself also comes with a few handy ports, including a USB 3.0 port, a micro-HDMI socket and a full-size SD card slot, all located on the right-hand side along with the power socket, volume rocker, headphone jack and power button.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> The reps from both Intel and Toshiba were rather tight-lipped about this elusive device (the latter even said his folks have yet to come up with a name), so all we know is that this is powered by an Ivy Bridge processor (with vPro embedded security options) and it'll be available in Q2 this year. As always, stay tuned here for the eventual announcement.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Toshiba's Portege Z10t detachable Ultrabook debuts at IDF handson" data-src-height="438" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/toshiba-portege-z10t-fcc.jpg" style="margin: 4px;" /></div></div>

ASUS Transformer Book shows sudden sign of life: 13-inch Core i5 model coming to Japan this week

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="ASUS Transformer Book shows sudden interest in being real 13inch Core i5 and i7 models coming to Japan this month" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/asus-transbook-lead2.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">The Transformer Book's entry into the world has been hampered by a couple of things: high pre-order prices for the Core i7 version, plus a degree of forgetfulness with respect to actually coming to market. News out of Japan hints at both of those hold-ups being overcome, however, with a cheaper Core i5 version officially due to arrive this week with a 119,800 price tag (that's $1,280 in a currency conversion, though a US price would very likely be less.) The Windows 8 hybrid will be known as the "TransBook" in the streets and alleys of Tokyo and will include a 1080p 13.3-inch touchscreen display, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD and microSD expansion all housed in the 950 gram tablet. Hooking up to the keyboard dock will double that weight but provide an additional 500GB HDD, a full-sized SD card slot, two USB 3.0 ports, more video-out options and an extra hour of battery life (six hours instead of five). The Core i7 version will also be available in Japan by the end of March for around $350 extra, with similar basic credentials and the addition of MS Office. Assuming the Transformer Book ever moseys on over to our manor, we'll be sure to submit it to a review. In the meantime, you'll find full specs in the machine-translated PR after the break.</div><div class="post-gallery" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><h3 class="title"><strong>ASUS Transformer Book hands-on</strong></h3><br /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/06/zshbook001_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/06/zshbook002_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/06/zshbook003_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/06/zshbook004_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/06/zshbook005_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/06/zshbook006_95x95.jpg" /> </div><div dir="ltr" id="pr_box_button" style="text-align: left;">Hide Press Release</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <strong>Japanese PR translated by Google: </strong></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> We have announced that it will be released in Japan for mobile laptop "ASUS TransBook TX300CA" detachable high specification that can be used in your favorite style.

AMD Turbo Dock promises better performance and cooling for hybrids, we go hands-on (video)

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" /><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="AMD Turbo Dock promises better performance and cooling for hybrid, we go handson video" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/amd-dock-lead.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Here's a question we've been asking ourselves for a while: what if the dock for a hybrid tablet could offer not only a keyboard and battery, but also increased performance? Wouldn't that provide the best of both worlds, with long battery life when you're in tablet mode and true laptop productivity when you have a place to sit down?</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Turns out AMD is on the same wavelength. In fact, the company has already implemented the idea in a prototype device here at MWC, destined to appear in commercial products around the middle of this year. As you'll see if you check out the video after the break, it's built by Compal and includes a 13-inch 1080p display with a quad-core Temash chip, which when combined with its Turbo Dock delivers some serious power -- going from 8 W to 15 W, with extra air flow delivered through the connector to keep it cool.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">AMD says that the docked tablet offers general computing performance broadly at the level of a full-fledged 17 W Intel Core i3 notebook. Judging from Microsoft's Fish Bowl HTML5 benchmark, we're looking at a gain of 50 percent -- and yes, that's pretty impressive. Next stop, a dock with an extra discrete GPU for CrossFire gaming? Who knows, but it's the logical progression.</div></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="349" id="viddler-9d3fdbf0" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="//www.viddler.com/embed/9d3fdbf0/?f=1&offset=0&autoplay=0&secret=31143631&disablebranding=0&view_secret=31143631" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="545"></iframe><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nat6uZC4fxE?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>
