Dynabook Americas, Inc., (formerly Toshiba America Client Solutions, Inc.), announced its first Dynabook-branded solutions with three laptops and a USB-C Dock.

Designed for business and education, these three laptops include the Dynabook Portégé X30, Dynabook Tecra X40 and Dynabook Portégé A30. Today also represents the 30th Anniversary of the first Dynabook-branded laptop in Japan.

The new 13.3-inch Portégé X30 and new 14-inch Tecra X40 are part of the Dynabook premium laptop collection and include a variety of upgrades in processor, connectivity, instant on/off and cooling technologies. These new professional-grade laptops feature the latest 8th Generation Intel Core VPro™ processors (codenamed Whiskey Lake) to the Portégé X30 and Tecra X40 to improve performance and connectivity speeds. With a 13.3-inch display, the ultraportable Portégé X30 measures 15.9 mm thin and weighs just 2.3 pounds. The Tecra X40 features an easily portable form factor that is just 16.9 mm and 2.7 pounds.

The Portégé X30 and Tecra X40 laptops are available with Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 ready. The new Wi-Fi standard based on 802.11ax.

Both X Series laptops feature Windows 10 Modern Standby, which delivers instant on/off capabilities. This feature allows optimized software and applications on the Portégé X30 and Tecra X40 to stay up-to-date by maintaining a low-power connection to an available network (Wi-Fi, mobile broadband/cellular or wired Ethernet) in order to run background processes while the laptop is in sleep mode. The ability to remain always on and connected to the Internet, ensures a user’s email, notifications and calendar are current. Not only does this feature boost system wake and resume times, it also makes the laptop more energy efficient.

To support the new performance features of the X Series laptops, Dynabook enhanced the fan technology for improved airflow and cooling by increasing the volume of air by 10% while also lowering rotation speeds. Called an S-Type fan, this cooling design improvement delivers a quieter running system especially when running processor-intensive tasks.

Both laptops incorporate Dynabook’s Onyx Blue magnesium alloy chassis designed to pass Military Durability Testing (MIL-STD-810G) standard. Dynabook also backed both X Series laptops with the company’s standard international three-year limited warranty. Starting price points for these two professional grade laptops will be $1,399.99 (MSRP) for the Portégé X30 and $1,289.99 (MSRP) for the Tecra X40.

Designed for small and medium businesses, Dynabook completely redesigned the 13.3-inch Portégé A30 to make it our thinnest and lightest A Series laptop to date. These design enhancements resulted in the Portégé A30 measuring 11 percent thinner (19.9 mm) and nearly a half pound lighter at 2.65 pounds while still being a full-featured performance laptop. Featuring a new designed Polycarbonate Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) chassis, the Portégé A30 is designed to pass the Military Durability Testing (MIL-STD-810G) standard, further demonstrating the company’s commitment to durability.

Equipped with 8th Generation Intel Quad Core processors and Windows 10 Pro, the Portégé A30 was designed to offer easy integration into any corporate infrastructure. Dynabook fortified the A Series laptop with security elements including the company’s proprietary BIOS, TPM 2.0 and optional smart card reader. Two new biometrics features available on the Portégé A30 are an integrated IR camera for face authentication and a Synaptics’ TouchPad SecurePad with integrated fingerprint reader. To expand the overall functionality of the laptop in terms of data, display and power, Dynabook added a USB-C port to the laptop, which pairs perfectly with the new Dynabook USB-C Dock. Pricing for the Portégé A30 will start at $1,074.99 (MSRP).

The Dynabook USB-C Dock is the newest addition to the company’s portfolio of docking solutions and features a streamlined design. The dock supports 10 ports and an SD Card Slot to expand overall productivity and connectivity to make it a great complement for any laptop with a USB-C port, including the Portégé A30. The Dynabook USB-C Dock can support up to three Full High Definition Monitors or one 4K UHD Monitor. The front of the dock has the following ports: an SD Card Slot, USB-C (USB Power & Data), two USB 3.1 and a Headphone/Mic. The back of the dock offers the following ports: two USB 3.1, HDMI, VGA, Display Port 1.4 and RJ45. For convenience, one of the USB 3.1 ports on the front of the dock delivers power to charge phones, tablets and other peripherals. The USB-C Dock will sell for $199.99 (MSRP).
