Toshiba announces Satellite U840W and Satellite U840 Ultrabook


Toshiba Philippines, Inc. today announced the growth of its Ultrabook™ product line with the introduction of the Satellite U series. New models include the Satellite U840W, the world's first Ultrabook™ that offers a 21:9 cinematic display, and the Satellite U840, an affordably-priced everyday Ultrabook™. Both Ultrabooks™ offer a balanced blend of style, entertainment, productivity and portability powered by the latest 3rd generation of Intel® CoreTM processors. The Satellite U840 and the Satellite U840W will be available in the third quarter of 2012 in South and South East Asia.



“Toshiba is setting the pace in the Ultrabook category, leveraging on our heritage of building thin and light mobile computing products for more than 25 years,” said Ms Wong Wai Meng, Senior Manager of Product Marketing at Toshiba Singapore Pte Ltd, Digital Products & Services Group. “For the first time, consumers can get the performance and mobility benefits of an Ultrabook™ in thin and light designs that cater to their needs whether they are price-to-performance value, entertainment or supreme mobility.”

Satellite U840W: The World's First Ultrabook™ with an Ultra-Wide 21:9 Cinematic Display 
The entertainment-optimized Satellite U840W offers premium features and design in an ultra-slim form factor. Designed with movie enthusiasts and productivity power users in mind, the Satellite U840W is the first Ultrabook™ of its kind to feature a 14.4-inch diagonal Ultra-Wide HD Clear SuperView display with a cinematic 21:9 aspect ratio. This display is ideally suited for movie buffs looking to enjoy 2.35:1 movies in their original format – without the black bars commonly seen on most notebook displays. The distinctive display is also ideal for multitasking, providing more space for better split-screen viewing of word-processing applications, streaming videos, social networking, browsing and instant messaging. To make it easy for consumers to utilize the extra display space, the new Toshiba Split-Screen Utility offers pre-configured and custom viewpoint grids, supporting multiple windows on the display.


The Ultrabook™’s high-grade picture quality is complemented with the natural sound delivered through stereo speakers from Harman Kardon® and SRS Premium Sound™ 3D audio enhancement. 

The Satellite U840W impresses with its premium feature set and also attracts attention with its striking design. Precisely constructed of machined aluminum with luxurious soft-touch trim, the Satellite U840W delivers sophisticated styling and comfort in a lightweight package that is less-than-an-inch thick. An LED backlit raised tiled keyboard and ClickPad™ on the inside round out the refined design. Featuring the latest 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processor and its enhanced graphics capabilities, the Satellite U840W is an ideal mobile companion for premium entertainment and state-of-the-art productivity.
