Computing Leader Unveils First Dynabook Branded Products in the United States

New Professional-Grade Portégé® X30, Tecra® X40 and Portégé A30 Demonstrate Company’s Commitment to Mobility, Durability, Design and Performance

IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#8thGeneration—Dynabook Americas, Inc. (formerly Toshiba America Client Solutions, Inc.), today 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 30^th Anniversary of the first Dynabook-branded laptop in Japan.

“We have evolved and these four products are the perfect example of the direction the organization plans to the take as Dynabook,” said Phillip Osako, vice president, marketing and engineering, Dynabook Americas, Inc. “Our new X Series and newly redesigned Portégé A30 push the mobile computing envelope as powerful, full-performance solutions with thinner and lighter form factors. The USB-C Dock demonstrates our understanding of the modern mobile professional’s connectivity and expansion needs.”

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 8^th 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 mm¹ thin and weighs just 2.3 pounds² making it our lightest X Series laptop to date. Offering the perfect balance of portability and increased screen real estate the Tecra X40 features an easily portable form factor that is just 16.9 mm¹ and 2.7 pounds².

The Portégé X30 and Tecra X40 laptops are available with Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6™ ready. The new Wi-Fi standard based on 802.11ax³. This enhancement enables next-generation Wi-Fi connectivity provides higher capacity, coverage, and improves performance even in congested environments with many connected devices such as conference halls and other public venues.

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 elegant and durable Onyx Blue magnesium alloy chassis designed to pass Military Durability Testing (MIL-STD-810G) standard. Meaning these laptops can easily handle the rigors of professional mobility. 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.

Dynabook Portégé A30

Ideal 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 mm¹) and nearly a half pound lighter at 2.65 pounds² 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 8^th Generation Intel® Quad Core processors and Windows 10 Pro, the Portégé A30 was designed to offer seamless 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).
