Toshiba introduces Satellite Click, 'bet' on AMD chips

At IFA 2013, Toshiba has officially launched their cheap Satellite Click hybrid model. Satellite Click has a 13-inch screen with a removable keyboard design.

Inside we have a 500 GB hard drive, while the keyboard dock is integrated with additional batteries to help when mounting the dock will extend the battery life for the device.

The design of the machine is no longer strange that we have seen in many products from last year until now. It is worth noting that Toshiba decided to choose AMD's Temash processor for Satellite Click - the chip platform with the high graphics power that we had the opportunity to know.

However, the chip model on the Click is a 2-1200 1 GHz 2-1200 model with Radeon HD 8180 graphics, not the 4-core model we see in the demo video. Temash is the chip that AMD promises to compete with Intel's Atom and Core i3 chips. And unlike Core i3 chips for tablets, Temash allows manufacturers to create tablet designs that don't need a fan.

Click cost starting at 599 USD , 150 USD cheaper than HP Split X2 using Core i3 chip and also 13 inch screen, 500 GB hard drive. For a cheap price, of course, users have to trade some things that the Satellite Click is battery life. Toshiba says it has a battery life of 3 to 4 hours if used in tablet mode. If you add a keyboard dock, the battery life increases by 6 to 7 hours.

In addition, Toshiba also launched a Click version for the European market and named it Satellite W30t . The Satellite W30t will use Intel's Core chip, not an AMD chip.
