If nothing else you may as well use it whilst you are paying it off...

This Apple argument never washes, Apple is a different system, there are many factors with regard to Apple why you pay that price, it's too high for some, but doesn't negate those factors. An intrinsic mistrust/hatred/in-congruency of thought regarding Apple doesn't make it less so. Apple have led the way but interestingly made a big mistake with the iPad Pro, something they can learn from the Surface, instead of making an OSX iPad Pro, they made an iOS version. The Surface 4 is the best device in this form factor, it offers a full OS not a Mobile OS, and the design and integration is the best so far, in fact there's an argument to make that the Surface 4 is the best current Window 10 laptop/tablet. If I had a need for one then I'd get one.

The Surface brand especially the Surface 4 is now the pinnacle of what you can currently achieve with hardware on Windows 10 platform as an integrated experience. It's easy to find Surface 4 reviews on Google so I'd advise anyone whose interested in what I've said to go check the reviews.

Great find!

These are Toshiba's last consumer laptops. They are leaving consumer market and focus only corporate clients. They said they are honoring warranty.

These never really warranted their premium pricing, but at £500 for a Skylake, full HD touchscreen 2-in-1 that's a good deal.

1.32kg is pretty good for a total weight, but it's kinda heavy to use in tablet mode. My Dell Venue is 1.5kg with the keyboard attached but less than 900g when detached and I still find that kinda heavy to use as a tablet, which if we're being honest is very, very rare.

Nice to see Radius 12 back in stock.

Good price.

Good Ultrabook and screen.

Good value for spec/quality Ultrabook to have.

Hot.

Once you've tried Surface you stay with Surface nothing else matters.

Great deal from a good name.

Anyone find any video reviews, can't seem to find any for the non 4K version~?

"THE BAD You won't make it through a day with the Radius 12's sub-par battery life. The keyboard is a little difficult to type on and the touchpad can be downright frustrating."

Saying that, the review was of the 4k screen which will drain the battery more.

Was going to grab this, but the keyboard and touchpad make it a no go for me. Think I'm gonna wait for the thinkpad 13.

Can't help but notice the specs on pc world 360 degree rotation. Wouldn't it be 180?

Thanks! was kicking myself when I missed out couple weeks ago.

Hi,

I quite fancy a surface as want something for taking notes on during meetings. Have Chromebook which is great for general use but no office. Have laptop that is great for office but hard to wander around a classroom with.
I want a device that will take over the jobs of both. The only thing that puts me off Surface is price. I can see this is a much better deal but the issue is no stylus so can you take notes with it like the surface?

Smashing deal. Heat given.

I have the 4K version which also has the i7 processor and it is excellent. The 4K display on it is amazing and the colours are also natural. It has the Harman Kardon in built speakers which are fantastic and surround sound for watching movies. I also downloaded GTA 5 on it recently and the game runs a dream with very clear graphics and smooth gameplay. My only concern is the mouse touch pad which can sometimes be tempremental but that only happens rarely and the touch screen compensated for it.

Im torn, I was saving up for a surface book, but this is a really good deal.

I havent seen one in person, what is the returns like for PC World? If I get it but dont like it, will they refund?

Ive ordered it. I hate this website! haha

will do.

Does this come with load of preinstalled rubbish. I work in IT and ususally perform a clean install with all machines, but heard that Windows10 this isnt needed.

Its got some crap toshiba driver apps, delete those cos they dont work. Just go upgrade drivers from their site. Its also got the usual supects, e.g. mcaffee. Its only a 10 minute clean up though.

How would this be with autoCAD?

Tha

Would it be worth just wiping the drive and going fresh?

I reckon so, tosh have all the stock drivers on their site so its painless enough

I recommend looking at Latitude 7350 http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2483881,00.asp

This seem perfect for surfing and the occasional use of Microsoft office. Any idea where and how much a cheap (roigh ball park) MS Office license can be purchased.

Tempting

Not to sound stupid here, but how do you upgrade bios? Not the most technically minded and considering purchasing this.
Thanks

Oh nice, have you experienced any problems with it?

Thats good, where did you purchase yours from?

i cant find the bios update for this anyone got a link?

It is relatively easy these days. You can download a bios update file from Toshiba and this will be run from Windows just follow the instructions. Older versions include making a boot disk with the file on and booting from that but newer machines are more user friendly.

oos

poor keyboard and touchpad, avoid

Bought 2..one for a friend. Cheers OP :-)

gf bought one

going to return my faulty x360 spectre for one of these i hope there decent.. back in stock now

Mine arrived this morning, currently typing on it. Its a lovely machine!

im getting an error with the display driver, so if your not going to wipe Windows 10 and re-install, make sure that you update the drivers at the very least.

The screen is very sharp, very bright, nice and light, the speakers

Back in stock online - delivery to store

yeah mine arrived a few hours ago too. Touchpad needs some getting used to as it is slightly textured horizontally. ie dragging horizontally is a lot smoother than dragging vertically.

I had trouble installing Chrome for some reason, so I have decided to use the Windows reset, as there seemed to be a lot of bloatware as well. Hopefully it gets rid of it.

After windows 10 reset, the bloatware is still there. Whats the best way to get rid of it? I cant seem to uninstall from add remove programs either.

also still cant install chrome. =(

the best way to be certain is to do a clean install of windows.

download and create a usb iso from here

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

then just install the bits that you want

missed the offer ;(

thanks. decided against clean install to keep any toshiba specific stuff. used decrapifier and seemed to work ok.

To install Chrome, I had to delete google directory from Program Files. It seems like the build mightve had chrome somewhat installed but not uninstalled properly or something.


Quite a few gripes with the keyboard layout... the F keys require you to hold down the FN key. The tab key is tiny. The ENTER key seems really far away.

Everything else seems to work pretty well so far.

Im considering returning mine as the trackpad is quite poor and the keyboard is also kinda cramped. The difference between 12.5 and 13.3 inch screens is apparent, as it seems too small for me personally. Battery life is under average.
However the screen and build is really good and it looks quite nice. Hope something better comes up, if so ill return it.

the trackpad is a little annoying, the brushed aluminium for the trackpad is annoying, especially when scrolling left and right, but i think that this will wear down after a bit, nearly every latpop ive ever owned has so this shouldnt be any different. Not idea I know, but for the price of the machine I can overlook it. Its a premium ultrabook for the price of a midrange laptop at the end of the day!

Can anyone recommend any cases?

Do all ultrabooks have a concelead battery these days?

Streaming hd video lasts 4 hours max on 75% brightness. I'd recommend trying it for a few days and then returning it if you dont llike it.

Thanks for that. Will do

I highly recommend extended warranty plan. I got 3yr International collect & return warranty extension for £53 from BHS Direct.

just got mine keyboard is quite small I'm just deciding if I can live with it... it'll improve your typing that's for sure...
track pad texture is a little annoying but again depends if you can live with it or not, because its touch screen I think that mitigates that slightly...

works really well in with the in tent mode is a nice size for it... I want this for work so I might get my self a Bluetooth mouse to go along side it... overall for the money its very good just depends if you can live with the size or not...

the size/build is really good for the money to be honest I think you could get better...

Just tried to buy one but they are sold out now

I have started having serious issues with mine, the trackpad just randomly stops working :/

lol no im not that daft

Deal back in stock!!

Seems to be delisted from their site now. Pretty gutted, bought one a few weeks ago and it was faulty so returned it today. Would have liked a replacement because nothing really competes at this price, but they had none and it doesn't seem like they'll be getting any more in stock.
Going to have to look for something else

The touchpad was the main issue for me, as on occasion it'd just stop responding. My Radius also ran stupidly loud, even when there was minimal activity to the point I placed my earphones in simply to null the noise. There also seemed to be a lot of software bugs after updating Windows 10. The shortcut to toggle the keyboard backlight (Fn+Z), for example, simply just refused to work. Downgrading did remove the issues, but it's hardly a solution.
It's a nicely built machine, just flawed

What do you mean by updated the bios?

Ive had the exact same issue with the touchpad as well as the loud fan. Its a shame really

That's actually pretty interesting , maybe the lack of quality control is the reason they were flogging them off so cheap because it sounds like these are prone to faults
