Toshiba’s first DynaPad, released in 1993, came at a time when touchscreen tablets were new to the tech world. The Japanese company’s new DynaPad — a Windows 10 2-in-1 officially announced today.
DynaPad is a great digital notebook, specially designed to encourage your creativity, and also enhance productivity. To that end, the dynaPad features an ultra-thin keyboard dock and a high-precision pen. It’s designed to replicate the natural feeling of writing with a pen on paper – even mirroring a common-size notebook, for a very natural and fluid handwriting experience. The dynaPad employs metal mesh sensor technology, combined with a high-performance, high-precision Wacom Active Electrostatics (ES) TruPen with 2,048 levels of pressure. In other words: It makes for superior accuracy, allowing you to maintain your natural writing style as you take notes or draw doodles. It’s the perfect companion for taking notes or using our WebNote technology in Edge.
The dynaPad also includes updated versions of Toshiba’s exclusive suite of original business applications that enable users to easily collect, organize and share notes, images and files, including TruNote, TruCapture and TruRecorder, plus new TruNote Clip and TruNote Share apps for capturing screen clips and sharing handwriting in real time. The suite integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Office for convenient editing and collaboration. Oh, and dynaPad is perfectly suited for both right- and left-handed users – apps like TruNote can adapt to either, allowing you to maintain a normal writing style no matter which hand you prefer.
And of course, it all looks beautiful as well. The dynaPad features a sharp, 12-inch diagonal WUXGA+ (1920×1280) IPS display, with wide viewing angles for maximum comfort. The display also packs in a dual-layer anti-reflection and anti-fingerprint coating, which helps to maintain the screen’s sensitivity in bright environments.
The dynaPad is an incredible achievement in 2-in-1s. With its support for Continuum, ultra-thin and lightweight design, and advanced note-taking technology, it is an impressive mobile device. Toshiba’s dynaPad will be available in the U.S. and Europe in the first quarter of 2016 and is available for pre-order starting today in Japan.
