Toshiba thinks it has a Surface competitor in the DynaPad
Yes, it's another Surface competitor. So far, before today, we've seen a slew of companies copying Microsoft's tablet-and-keyboard-dock formula, from Apple to Lenovo to Dell to HP. Not keen to sit out a trend, Toshiba is also trying its hand with the 12-inch DynaPad, which the company claims is the world's lightest 2-in-1. It's up for pre-order now, and Toshiba seems confident that it's good enough to win over American consumers. The fact that it's even being sold in the states is notable; the "Dyna" brand isn't exactly a household name here. It's so promising too that even the Microsoft Store will be selling it, and say what you will about Microsoft, but they tend not to sell junk. (When's the last time you saw one of Toshiba's crappy bargain-basement notebooks sold there?)
Toshiba's Surface-like DynaPad is coming to the US next year
Toshiba has unveiled the DynaPad, a 12-inch, Surface Pro-like convertible that packs an exotic Wacom Active Electrostatics TruPen stylus. Microsoft revealed the news on its Windows blog, where it's been keen to promote third-party Windows 10 hardware after launching its own Surface Book. Toshiba says the stylus' 2,048 levels of pressure and specially coated 1,920 x 1,280 3:2 IPS screen help artists feel like they're "writing on paper with a real pen." However, the DynaPad's performance may disappoint artists familiar with the Surface Pro, as it's limited to a 1.44GHz Intel Atom CPU and 4GB of memory.
