Dynabook Portégé X-Series Windows 10 laptops get 10th generation Comet Lake Intel Core processors
Dynabook's Portégé X-Series laptop line is one of my favorites. While they are primarily aimed at business users, they make superb consumer notebooks too. The elegant magnesium alloy bodies feel premium -- it is very pleasing to touch. They also have great keyboards with well-spaced keys, accurate trackpads, beautiful touch screens, and they can be configured with some very cutting-edge specifications too. They even have that classic pointing nub that some folks really love.
Today, the company announces a trio of new models of its thin and light Portégé X-Series Windows 10 laptops that come with bleeding-edge 10th Gen Comet Lake Intel Core processors -- i5-10210U or i7-10510U, depending on configuration. CPU aside, you also get Thunderbolt 3 and Wi-Fi 6 -- two very modern features. In addition, you can choose between 8GB or 16GB of RAM and either a 256GB or 512GB SSD for storage. Best of all, all three laptops are certified as "Secured-core PCs" by Microsoft, meaning they feature enhanced security.
"The Dynabook Portégé X Series laptops are some of the industry's thinnest and lightest laptops on the market today. Starting with the 13.3-inch Portégé X30, which measures in at 2.3 pounds and 15.9mm thin, the 14-inch Portégé X40 at just 2.76 pounds and 16.9mm, and finally the 15.6-inch Portégé X50 at 3.13 pounds and just 17.6 mm thin. All three laptops boast an ultra-lightweight, Onyx Blue magnesium alloy chassis with Honeycomb Rib Structure to provide extra durability. These Dynabook laptops all pass the U.S. Military (MIL-STD-810G) standard testing methodology, which includes military-grade altitude, drop, dust, extreme temperatures, humidity, shock and solar radiation," says Dynabook.
The company also says, "These premium laptops offer a unique collection of display options. Both the Portégé X30 and Portégé X50 are available with energy-efficient, high-brightness IGZO displays from Sharp. While the Portege X40 features Dynabook’s 14-inch TruBrite display with dynamic privacy technology. In addition to vibrant visuals, all of these displays help the Portégé X Series deliver impressive battery life rating, meaning mobile professionals will hardly need to worry about power while away from an outlet."
