Design

This is because its body has been made using magnesium alloy alongside plastic materials with a metal hinge. For this reason, this tablet can handle day to day bumps and knocks quite well. The tablet has rounded edges with the bottom part being made from a rubbery synthetic material that is meant to give it extra grip when placed on a table or desk, especially when it is in the notebook mode.

 

The tablet is designed with a slider mechanism which enables the user to quickly move from one mode to the other depending on the present needs. Toshiba Satellite U920t has a 12.5 inch touch screen made of Corning Gorilla glass. The tablet has a 1MP webcam with the main camera having 3.1MP.
