The Toshiba Kirabook is made of superior materials and has an unusually high-resolution display. Toshiba offers a model with a high-resolution display and a touchscreen.
The lid and body are made from AZ91, the pressed magnesium alloy that makes KIRAbook light, durable and elegant. This material is over 100% stronger than the A6063 aluminum alloy used in the MacBook Air and proves once and for all there is beauty in strength. A honeycomb design, similar to that used on previous Portege Ultrabooks, helps ensure the Kirabook's rigidity, despite its thin chassis.The hexagon core is an elegant solution that creates balance in design by effectively adding strength without additional weight. Toshiba Kirabook has an optional fingerprint-resistant touchscreen that is perfectly paired with the intuitive nature of Windows 8. Housed under Corning Concore Glass, it's a touchscreen without tradeoffs. |
Experience the precision of the PixelPure Display, perfectly color-calibrated with stunning 2560x1440 native resolution. Utilizing 3.7 million pixels for brilliant clarity, and 90% better resolution than standard HD displays. A picture so beautiful you wont be able to take your eyes—or your hands—off of it.
The Kirabook offers two harman/kardon speakers, powered by DTS audio, on the bottom of the design. You'll get the best sound when the system is on a hard surface, which allows the audio to reflect toward the user.
Toshiba says its new Kirabook laptop will be able to run for up to 22 hours.Compare the Kirabook version
