Toshiba's first attempt to break into the fast-growing Windows 8 hybrid market is a slightly weird beast, with a love-it-or-hate-it transformation mechanism, that marks it as distinctive, but won't be practical enough for everyone.It's on sale now for...

The U920T carries a pretty good spec and performs reasonably well for its price. It also features a distinctively different way of transforming between tablet and laptop configurations, but whether this is actually better than other methods will come d...

The Toshiba Satellite U920T has good processing power, good responsiveness and a good touchscreen to make up for the small touchpad. But it's just too heavy to use as a tablet. If you're not in it for the touchscreen, then we recommend the Portégé Z930, w...

Toshiba has taken the hybrid Ultrabook concept and put it on the rails. Its Satellite U920T (PSUL1A-00S001) is a 12.5in, Windows 8 model with a screen that slides over its keyboard base. You can use it as a tablet or as a laptop, but it's designed prim...

Toshiba's U920T sliding-screen hybrid Ultrabook is a neat concept that takes some getting used to. It's a hybrid that's fun to use as a tablet and it works equally well as a notebook. However, we're not sure how well the screen's mechanism will last over...

Windows 8 hybrids come in all shapes and sizes. We have twisters such as the Lenovo ThinkPad Twist , detachables like the Asus Vivo Tab , and even flip-screen models such as the Dell XPS Duo 12 . However, just like the Sony VAIO Duo 11 , Toshiba has chos...

The Toshiba Satellite U920t is a well-built and reasonably attractive convertible laptop/tablet with smooth and assured sliding action, although it's rather awkward to open compared to other sliders. It offers decent connectivity, an average typing experi...

Slash £200/$300 from the price and the Toshiba Satellite U920t is one of the best value hybrids on the market. Add a better screen and refine the mechanism and it's one of the best quality. But as it stands, the Toshiba Satellite U920t under delivers in...

Whatever you might think about Windows 8, when it comes to taking the top down on the new ranges of convertible laptops, it's certainly not boring. Every single one I've encountered so far has a different take on how to make the laptop-tablet duo dance wo...
The Toshiba Satellite U920T is a very likable convertible Ultrabook, although it took me a while to realise why. The reason, I'd say, is that it doesn't come across as some toy-like novelty item – it errs more on the sensible side. Even so, I still want...

Technology is boring when everyone is doing the same thing the same way. That's sort of happening with ultrabooks and, now, Windows 8 convertibles. Except with Toshiba. Toshiba is still up to weird stuff, like super wide ultrabooks, or this weird little S...

Turning the U920T from a tablet to a notebook is not difficult, but it could get tiring over time, and we're not sure how well the mechanics of the design will hold up over prolonged use. Also, the on-screen keyboard doesn't work too well when in the...
