1.5 cm? But it sounds too thick for modern standard laptop? Well, keep in mind that the Toshiba’s Satellite Radius 12 is a 2-in-1 laptop, which means the screen is equipped with special hinges so that the user can rotate the screen 360 degrees, aka creates a tablet instantly. 

Toshiba’s Satellite Radius 12 has a special screen. The touch screen is not only equipped with a 12.5 inch IPS technology, but also 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels). The screen is covered by Gorilla Glass NBT layer, which is claimed to be more scratch resistant than soda lime glass up to 8-10 times. This screen can also present the 100 percent color space of Adobe RGB and has received certification from Technicolor.

To display the sharp graphics, Toshiba entrusts the sixth-generation of Intel Core processor that has just officially been introduced to public.
