  • Anti-fingerprint and anti-glare coatings;
  • Wacom digitizer with 2,048 points of sensitivity;
  • Secondary pen stored in a dedicated slot on the tablet;
  • M.2 SSD interface, configurable with a 128GB or 256GB solid state drive;
  • Up to 8GB of on-board LPDDR3 memory;
  • 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth v4.0 connectivity;
  • Ambient light sensor, gyroscope and an e-compass;
  • Spill-resistant, LED backlit keyboard;
  • Integrated Accupoint with its own dedicated buttons (in addition to a large clickpad);
  • Fanless chassis with black magnesium-alloy finish;
  • Toshiba's EasyGuard suite for data security;
  • Included Kensington lock port; and
  • Intel Active Management Technology, which allows IT departments to monitor, maintain, repair, update and upgrade machines remotely.

MSRP for the Portégé Z20t starts at $1,399. The Portégé WT20, a version of the device without the digitizer and keyboard base, will be available in February starting at $899 MSRP.
