Toshiba unveils KIRA Ultrabook with 221ppi display

Toshiba has recently unveiled its latest ultrabook called the KIRAbook, a Windows 8 machine that sports a 13.3-inch 2560×1440 high-resolution display.

The Toshiba KIRAbook aims to take on Apple’s current top of the line Macs with its 13.3-inch PixelPure touchscreen display that packs a native resolution of 2560×1440 which equates to 221ppi – just a few pixels less than the MacBook Pro Retina Display’s 227ppi. Mounted on top of the display is Corning’s Concore Glass for damage resistance.

The KIRAbook also sports an Intel Core i5 (3337U) or i7 (3537U) processors, 8GB of RAM (1600 MHz), 256GB SSD, LED backlit keyboard, and Harman Kardon speakers. All of that in a “magnesium alloy and honeycomb-base” body that is just 0.7-inch thin and 2.6lbs light – lighter than the MacBook Air.

    Well children, you are looking at the Acura of notebooks. Acura supersports car is better than any one out there, but sorry Filipinos are so ignorant about it, that all they know is the ford fiesta painted with so and so like a sarao jeepney which is nothing but the overpriced lousy hardware nothing but shit apple. And that includes the apple tablet and phones.
    In case you did’nt get what I mean, it goes only into saying only that apple is only found to be owned by PROSTITUTES,UNEMPLOYED, or BEGGARS.
