Dynabook Americas Inc., formerly Toshiba PC Company, has released the ultra-premium 14-inch Portégé X40-K. Benefitting from hybrid-architecture 12th Gen Intel Core P-Series 28W processor options, Windows 11 Pro and a dark blue aluminum chassis, this laptop boasts greater performance, uncompromising portability and robust security.
“With a more dispersed workforce becoming the norm for businesses, IT departments are challenged with procuring computing solutions that offer the best mix of portability, performance, and productivity features. Our premium 14-inch Portégé X40-K was designed specifically for this,” said James Robbins, general manager, Dynabook. “This new laptop checks all the right boxes for customers. It’s lightweight, powerful, secure, and loaded with features. Furthermore, it is very stylish, which is something modern buyers demand, and comes reinforced with a durable aluminum chassis and a warranty that ensures these laptops continue fostering years of worry-free productivity.”
The Portégé X40-K is a mix of style, form and function. Created with the hybrid workplace in mind, the laptop excels in portability, measuring just 17.9mm thin and weighing under 3.2 pounds. Though thin and light, it was engineered and tested to MIL-STD-810H standards for strength and durability to ensure robust endurance to the rigors of daily use in or out of the office. Opening the lid exposes a vibrant, thin-bezel 14-inch IPS or multi-touch display, premium backlit keyboard, and large multi-touch ClickPad embedded into a comfortable aluminum palm rest – all of which exude quality craftsmanship.
With full-performance 28-watt 12th Gen Intel Core processor options, the Portégé X40-K benefits from the massive performance boost and enhanced efficiency afforded by Intel’s hybrid architecture. Configurable with Core i5 or i7 CPUs, up to 64GB of memory and reinforced with ultra-fast SSD storage, Wi-Fi 6E and Thunderbolt 4, the Portégé X40-K delivers exceptional performance for multi-tasking. Intel Iris Xe graphics adds crisp and smooth video performance, support for up to four external 4K displays, and enhanced security.
A variety of ports, including full-size HDMI, Gigabit LAN, 3.5mm audio and USB-A, as well as a microSD card slot provide convenient, adapter-free expansion. When not in use, Sleep & Charge technology keeps a USB port powered, allowing the laptop to charge a smartphone and other accessories.
The Portégé X40-K can be pre-configured with Windows 11 Pro, which offers enhanced productivity and security features and provides users a more tailored and intuitive user experience than previous generations of the operating system. Windows 11 can be managed with familiar tools and processes, making it a natural upgrade path for any PC user. For businesses waiting to migrate, these laptops can be ordered with Windows 10 Pro and would be eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 11 Pro when they’re ready to make the transition.
Among the most secure laptops in the world, the Portégé X40-K meets Microsoft’s strict Secured-core PC requirements and addresses the security and manageability challenges posed by the accelerated shift towards flexible working patterns. Dynabook’s proprietary BIOS offers another extensive security layer to mitigate BIOS-level security threats, while numerous integrated features like Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0, enterprise-grade encryption and optional Windows Hello fingerprint and face authentication provide unrelenting protection against data, device and identity threats.
Even with a distributed workforce, IT departments are able to support and manage these laptops using baked-in intelligent manageability capabilities. Intel Active Management Technology (AMT), as integrated in new 12th Gen Intel Core processors, offers streamlined management of devices – even remotely. Dynabook’s proprietary BIOS can also be upgraded and managed remotely to maintain the highest levels of security.
Backed by Dynabook’s +Care Service Warranty1 with On-site, the new Portégé X40-K from Dynabook will provide years of worry-free reliability. Featured SKUs are backed by three years of coverage, while Build-to-Order configurations are backed by four years. With additional access to an extensive service and support network, Dynabook +Care Service warranties help businesses minimize downtime and reduce IT costs.
