硬件规格
这款超极本有许多版本，型号名称较长且略有不同，具体取决于您所在的地区。例如，美国可用的(USA)东芝 PORTEGE Z20t-B(Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B)设备列表与欧洲(Europe)的不同。处理器往往是相同的双核英特尔酷睿 M-5Y71 CPU(Intel Core M-5Y71 CPU)，在所有地区的所有型号上以 1.20GHz 运行。但是，RAM 内存(RAM memory)的数量以及可用的存储空间(storage space)可能会有所不同。
我们测试了主要在欧洲销售的(Europe)东芝 PORTEGE Z20t-B-10L 型号(Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B-10L model)。该设备包括 8GB DDR3 RAM和东芝(Toshiba)制造的容量为 256 GB的SSD。
12.5" 宽屏是采用平面内切换技术 (IPS) 和防眩光涂层的FHD LED(In-Plane Switching Technology)背光数字(IPS)化仪触摸屏显示器，可提供 1080p 的最大分辨率。图形由Intel(FHD LED) HD G5300(screen display)图形芯片(Intel HD G5300 Graphics chip)提供动力，非常好用于与办公相关的活动，但不适用于游戏或专业视频编辑(video editing)。
这台笔记本电脑的重量从 1.60 磅（0.7 公斤）开始，仅使用平板电脑时，它达到 3.30 磅（1.49 公斤）的键盘底座(keyboard dock)。
在连接性方面，东芝 PORTEGE Z20t-B(Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B)做得非常好：它包括一个支持现代 802.11ac 无线网络的网卡、一个(network card)蓝牙 4.0(Bluetooth 4.0)芯片和一个 1 Gbps 以太网端口(Gbps Ethernet port)。在键盘底座(keyboard dock)的左侧，您有一个HDMI 端口(HDMI port)和一个VGA 端口(VGA port)、一个用于锁定和解锁底座的按钮以及一个用于Kensington 锁(Kensington lock)的插槽。
在键盘底座(keyboard dock)的右侧，您会在以太网端口(Ethernet port)旁边找到两个USB 3.0端口。在平板电脑的右侧，您可以找到电源按钮(power button)、音量按钮、micro-USB 端口、micro-HDMI 端口、microSD 卡插槽和用于插入耳机的 3.5mm组合插孔(combo jack)，一套外部扬声器或麦克风。商业(Business)专业人士将欣赏丰富的选择。

东芝 PORTEGE Z20t-B(Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B)有两节电池：一节在平板电脑中，一节在键盘底座(keyboard dock)中。两者都是 3 芯/36Wh 电池，东芝承诺在连接(Toshiba)键盘底座(keyboard dock)的情况下使用超极本时最长可达 17 小时，而仅使用平板电脑时最长可达 9 小时。
将东芝 PORTEGE Z20t-B 连接到各种网络和设备的众多选项给我们留下了深刻的印象。很少有类似产品能够与此处提供的丰富连接选项相匹配。(We were very impressed with the many options available for connecting Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B to all kinds of networks and devices. Few similar are able to match the wealth of connectivity options being offered here.)
使用东芝 PORTEGE Z20t-B
东芝 PORTEGE Z20t-B(Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B)看起来相当坚固。这是一款坚固的设备，外观简洁，在大多数商业使用情况下都应该做得很好。如您所见，包括一支笔。即使它不如Surface Pro 3上的那么好，但它不仅可用，而且如果您需要在参加商务会议时快速记笔记，它对您很有用。
为了拔下平板电脑，您需要按下两个不同的按钮并小心拉动平板电脑。将其取出后，键盘以及与平板电脑通信的许多连接器仍然存在。在第一次拔下平板电脑之前，我们建议您先阅读手册，以便您了解所涉及的过程。它不是那么直观，如果您不注意，您可能会损坏设备。
关于键盘，在上面打字是一种享受。我们喜欢它是背光的这一事实，即使在光线昏暗的房间里，您也可以有效地使用它。您获得的触觉反馈非常棒，打字时的精确度是我们最近尝试过的最好的之一。但是，我们也设法找到了一个小缺点：Right SHIFT 键(Right SHIFT key)以及反斜杠 () 键的定位不是很有灵感。按反斜杠而不是SHIFT(SHIFT)很容易，这会惹恼用户，直到他们习惯了键盘布局(keyboard layout)。
我们发现的另一个小缺点是关于触摸板。虽然触摸板本身运行良好，但左键单击和右键单击按钮位于顶部，而不是底部。包括我们自己在内的许多用户都习惯于将这些按钮放在触控板的底部，并且在您习惯它们的位置之前，这需要一段时间。
我们赞赏屏幕是采用平面内切换技术 (IPS) 和防眩光涂层的FHD LED(In-Plane Switching Technology)背光数字(IPS)化触摸(FHD LED)屏显示器。(screen display)它提供了良好的视角，良好的色彩还原(color reproduction)，也可以在户外使用。

该设备最重要的优势之一是它提供的许多连接选项。很难找到另一款具有如此多端口并支持 802.11ac 无线网络的Windows 设备。(Windows device)商业用户将它连接到他们想要的任何东西上都不会遇到任何麻烦。
该设备的另一个优点是它的电池寿命(battery life)。如果你使用它停靠，你可以获得 13 到 15 小时的自主权，这取决于你在做什么，这绝对很棒。
Reviewing Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B - A Versatile Hybrid Ultrabook For Business Users
Toѕhibа PORTEGE Z20t-B is a hybrid ultrabook aimed mostly at busineѕs users. Іt promisеs amazing battery life, lots of сonnectivity options, a free upgrade to Windows 10 or a downgrade to Windows 7, as well aѕ decent performance for most computing situations. We took it for a spin, used іt for about two weeks, ran lots of benсhmarks and we are now ready to share oυr cоnclusions, in this review:
Unboxing The Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B
The packaging used for the Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B-10L hybrid ultrabook is made up of a standard cardboard box. It's very boring, as you can see for yourself.
Inside you will find another cardboard box with the ultrabook inside, the power cable, a stylus, the manual in several languages as well as the warranty.
After you unpack everything, you finally get to see the device itself and the stylus.
Hardware Specifications
There are many versions of this ultrabook, with long and slightly different model names which vary depending on your region. For example, the list of Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B devices available in the USA differs from the one in Europe. The processor tends to be the same dual-core Intel Core M-5Y71 CPU, running at 1.20GHz on all models, in all regions. However, the amount of RAM memory can differ, as well as the storage space available.
We have tested the Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B-10L model which is sold mostly in Europe. This device includes 8GB of DDR3 RAM and an SSD with a capacity of 256 GB made by Toshiba.
The 12.5" widescreen is a FHD LED backlit digitizer touch screen display with In-Plane Switching Technology (IPS) & anti-glare coating, which offers a maximum resolution of 1080p. The graphics are powered by an Intel HD G5300 Graphics chip which is good for office-related activities but not for gaming or professional video editing.
The weight of this laptop starts at 1.60 lbs (0.7 kg), when using only the tablet and it gets to 3.30 lb (1.49 kg) with keyboard dock.
In terms of connectivity, Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B does very well: it includes a network card with support for modern 802.11ac wireless networks, a Bluetooth 4.0 chip and a 1 Gbps Ethernet port. On the left side of the keyboard dock you have an HDMI port and a VGA port, a button for locking and unlocking the dock and a slot for a Kensington lock.
On the right side of the keyboard dock you will find two USB 3.0 ports alongside the Ethernet port. On the right side of the tablet you can find the power button, the buttons for the volume, a micro-USB port, a micro-HDMI port, a slot for microSD cards and a 3.5mm combo jack for plugging headphones, a set of external speakers or a microphone. Business professionals will appreciate the wealth of options.
Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B has an 8MP back camera with autofocus and digital zoom, capable of capturing videos of up to 1080p and a front 2MP FHD camera with a microphone.
Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B has two batteries: one in the tablet and one in the keyboard dock. Both are 3 cell/36Wh batteries and Toshiba promises an autonomy of up to 17 hours when using the ultrabook with the keyboard dock connected and up to 9 hours when using only the tablet.
We were very impressed with the many options available for connecting Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B to all kinds of networks and devices. Few similar are able to match the wealth of connectivity options being offered here.
Using the Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B
Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B looks quite sturdy. It's a solid device, with a sober look, which should do well in most business-use situations. As you can see, a pen is included. Even if it is not as great as the one on the Surface Pro 3, it's more than useable and, if you need to take quick notes while attending business meetings, it will prove useful to you.
In order to unplug the tablet, you need to press two different buttons and pull the tablet with care. Once you take it out, the keyboard remains, as well as the many connectors that communicate with the tablet. Before unplugging the tablet for the first time, we advise you to first read the manual, so that you understand the procedure involved. It's not that intuitive and you risk damaging the device if you do not pay attention.
Regarding the keyboard, it is a pleasure to type on it. We loved the fact that it is backlit and you can use it efficiently even in rooms with dim light. The tactile feedback you get is great and the precision when typing is one of the best we've tried recently. However, we also managed to find a small downside: the positioning of the Right SHIFT key as well as the backslash () key is not very inspired. It's very easy to press backslash instead of SHIFT and that will annoy users until they get used to the keyboard layout.
Another minor downside we have have found is about the touchpad. While the touchpad itself works well, the left-click and right-click buttons are positioned on the top, instead of the bottom. Many users, including ourselves, are used to having these buttons on the bottom side of the trackpad and, until you get used to their positioning, it's going to take a while.
We appreciate the fact that the screen is a FHD LED backlit digitizer touch screen display with In-Plane Switching Technology (IPS) & anti-glare coating. It offers good viewing angles, good color reproduction and it's also usable outdoors.
If you like the Windows experience on a tablet, you will enjoy using Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B in tablet mode. The screen is not very large and heavy, so carrying it around is relatively easy. Also, you have enough connectivity options to make the tablet mode useful when you have to interact with other devices. You can charge the tablet without plugging it into the keyboard dock. It's not very obvious but, on the bottom side of the tablet you will find a slot for plugging in the charger. However, it is better to charge Toshiba PORTEGE Z20t-B when it is docked, as you will charge both batteries at once: the one in the tablet and the one in the keyboard dock.
One of the most important strengths of this device is the many connectivity options it offers. It is very difficult to find another Windows device with so many ports and support for 802.11ac wireless networks. Business users will not have any trouble in connecting it to anything they wish to.
Another upside of this device is its battery life. If you use it docked, you can get anywhere between 13 and 15 hours of autonomy, depending on what you are doing, which is absolutely great.
