　　“Technicolor has certified that the color accuracy offered by the Satellite Radius 12’s 4K Ultra HD display delivers color faithful to the intention of all content creators for viewing and enjoying digital content, including movies, episodic television, online shopping, games and more,” says Manuèle Wahl, SVP Technology and Trademark Licensing at Technicolor.

　　The screen meanwhile has been reinforced with Gorilla Glass NBT. Toshiba claims it has eight to ten times higher scratch resistance than soda lime glass display, which is used in window panes and glass bottles. It can withstand greater shock and accidental bumps, which makes it ideal for traveling, weighing 2.9 pounds with a slim 0.6-inch profile and 360 degree precision hinge.

　　The Satellite Radius 12’s development has been made possible through Toshiba’s “deep relationships” with Microsoft, Intel, and Technicolor, says Philip Osako, senior director of product marketing, digital products division at Toshiba America Information Systems.

　　“The Satellite Radius 12 expertly blends the latest technology into an extremely powerful, yet compact and easy-to-carry PC that is not only versatile, but durable enough to handle a highly mobile lifestyle,” Osako adds.

　　The Satellite Radius 12 is scheduled for release in the US in the fourth quarter of 2015. No specific release date or pricing information has been announced.
