Toshiba Portégé M930 Convertible 13.3″ Notebook Seen at CES 2012

Toshiba showed off a convertible notebook called the Portégé M930 at the CES show in Las Vegas. The notebook has an articulating hinge to switch between notebook and slate mode. The M930 weighs 4.2 pounds and has a thickness of 1.1″, thus it can be noted that it is not an ultrabook.

M930 has a 13.3-inch screen with 1280 x 800 resolution. For internal storage, M930 has an Intel Core i5 Sandy Bridge processor with 4 GB RAM and a 256 GB SSD. There are 2 USB 2.0 ports, a full-sized Ethernet and HDMI out ports, and a full SD slot for connectivity. Toshiba Portégé M930 runs  Windows 7.

Strangely, the mouse buttons and track "nub" are on the right edge of the keyboard instead of the typical area below the keyboard. Since  M930 is a convertible tablet, it is supposed to have a touchscreen. However, for some reason when Nicole from Netbooknews did the hands-on video, it was not responding to her taps and swipes. The M930 may have an active digitizer instead because it appears like there is a stylus stored in a silo at the back of the device, but this is yet to be verified.

Generally, the form factor for the Toshiba Portégé is quite interesting although it's quite heavy. Check out the source link for the hands-on video of the device.
