All models have a 14-inch, 1366 x 748 display, one USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, and a backlit keyboard — all packed into a 0.78-inch thick body with weight starting at 3.5 pounds.

When we first saw this ultrabook at CES, Toshiba had been targeting a May release and a price point well south of $1,000 — which it either intends to give up on or somehow manage to hit with a bare-bones option sometime in the future. Toshiba Australia has a (fully-spec’d) version priced at $1,499.00 AUD (around $1,600 US), while reports show Toshiba Singapore is starting it at S$1,399 (around $1,040 US). If those prices haven’t deterred you, Toshiba Singapore is now targeting a Q1 release date — but no word yet on when it will arrive in the US.
