The Inquirer hasn't received a model for review yet but they did get a quick peek at the new line of Portégé business laptops from Toshiba. The new models are the 13.3" Portégé Z20t-C, 14" Portégé Z30-C, 14" Tecra Z40-C, and 15.6" Tecra Z50-C and will ship running either Windows 7 or Windows 10 depending on your preference. From what they were told only the small Z20t-C will have the new USB 3.1 Type-C port, other models will sport USB 3.0. One nice feature with the new Z series is that they will all use the same docking station, handy for when you are managing multiple models. If you are looking for a new business laptop or your company is fishing for vendors then you might want to wait to check out Toshiba's new line when it officially launches.
"TOSHIBA HAS UNVEILED fresh iterations of its flagship business laptop range, the Z Series, adding Intel's latest 6th-gen Core processors."

Still waiting for an HP
Still waiting for an HP Probook launch with the Carrizo FX8800P at 35 watts, and that great business laptop option of windows 7 Pro. Windows 7 is why I like business laptops, and some business laptops come with a Linux OS option. Maybe that Carrizo refresh that was hinted at by the USB-IF certification entry will be offered in the next years Probooks with DDR4 memory and the processor able to run at 35 watts, and with an option for a GCN discrete mobile GPU. By the time that Zen comes out windows 7 will no longer be available for factory install, but I’ll bet that users will still be able to get windows 8.1 pro and do the downgrade themselves, that or a Linux option that Probooks usually offer. The Vulkan graphics API should be available on next year’s Linux OS based laptops, and probably even windows 7/8.1 OEM systems also.

The keyboard on the portege
The keyboard on the portege z30-b series was pretty bad, no feedback at all. Hope they fixed it.
