Toshiba Satellite Click 2 Pro P35W-B3220 2-in-1 Laptop / Tablet PC

The Toshiba Satellite Click 2 Pro P35W-B3220 is a 2-in-1 hybrid PC, which combines both laptop and tablet form factors in a single aluminum-cladded and highly portable device. Its 13.3-inch Full HD display has IPS wide viewing angle technology and can be detached from the keyboard deck. Windows 8 and programs are powered by the 4th Gen Intel Core i5-4210U dual-core processor with mid-range performance. It’s of course excellent choice for daily work and additionally has enough muscle for heavier tasks like processing large video and image files. For decently enough fluid gaming (but on lower graphics settings) the CPU provides Intel HD 4400 series integrated GPU. The 128GB solid state drive in the P35W-B3220 is on the small side, but has much faster read and write speeds than the mechanical hard drives. RAM size of 4GB is a mediocre one, but sufficient for the vast majority of the PC-class computing tasks.

Unlike the original Click 1 models with two batteries (one in the tablet and another one in the keyboard dock), the Click 2 Pro has a single battery. This 3-cell 41 Wh unit provides however a quite good battery life of six and a half hours, which is in line with power autonomy delivered by both batteries of the Click 1. Besides the higher-resolution display and much faster processor, another improvement over the previous Click is inclusion of keyboard backlight. The keyboard has chiclet style keys, while the trackpad features integrated “mouse” buttons.

Profiles of the tablet and keyboard parts are 0.4″ high each, which is quite admirable for a fully featured Windows PC. The weight is 4.5 pounds with dock, while the tablet alone weighs 2.3 pounds.

The P35W-B3220, just like all Click 2 Pro configurations, has dual cameras. The simple front camera has 720p resolution, while the better specced rear 5MP shooter supports 1080p recording and has auto-focus.

For sound, the device sports harman-kardon stereo speakers, backed by DTS technology.

Selection of ports and networking features is admirable. The tablet portion houses a USB 2.0 port, micro HDMI video port, and a microSD card slot, while the keyboard has two USB 3.0 ports, a full-size HDMI, and and multiformat media card reader clustered on the rear edge. A non-standard perk is Intel WiDi for wireless video connection to external displays. For Internet connectivity, the 2-in-1 provides 802.11AC Wi-Fi wireless. Bluetooth is also included, but the Ethernet LAN network jack is missing.

If you like this 2-in-1 but want a bit beefier components, you can check out the Click 2 Pro P35W-B3226.
