With Great Power Comes Great Productivity
With full-performance 28-watt 12th Gen Intel Core processor options, the Portégé X40-K benefits from the massive performance boost and enhanced efficiency afforded by Intel's all-new hybrid architecture. Configurable with Core i5 or i7 CPUs, up to 64 GB of memory and reinforced with ultra-fast SSD storage, Wi-Fi 6E and Thunderbolt 4, the Portégé X40-K delivers exceptional performance for multi-tasking. Intel Iris Xe graphics adds crisp and smooth video performance, support for up to four external 4K displays, and enhanced security.

A variety of ports, including full-size HDMI, Gigabit LAN, 3.5 mm audio and USB-A, as well as a microSD card slot provide convenient, adapter-free expansion. When not in use, Sleep & Charge technology keeps a USB port powered, allowing the laptop to charge a smartphone and other accessories.

Configured For Your Business Needs
The Portégé X40-K can be pre-configured with Windows 11 Pro, which offers tons of enhanced productivity and security features, and provides users a more tailored and intuitive user experience than previous generations of the operating system. Windows 11 can be managed with familiar tools and processes, making it a natural upgrade path for any PC user. For businesses waiting to migrate, these laptops can be ordered with Windows 10 Pro, and would be eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 11 Pro when they're ready to make the transition.

Security Taken Seriously
Among the most secure laptops in the world, the Portégé X40-K meets Microsoft's strict Secured-core PC requirements and addresses the security and manageability challenges posed by the accelerated shift towards flexible working patterns. Dynabook's proprietary BIOS offers another extensive security layer to mitigate BIOS-level security threats, while numerous integrated features like Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0, enterprise-grade encryption and optional Windows Hello fingerprint and face authentication provide unrelenting protection against data, device and identity threats.

Even with a distributed workforce, IT departments are easily able to support and manage these laptops using baked-in intelligent manageability capabilities. Intel Active Management Technology (AMT), as integrated in new 12th Gen Intel Core processors, offers streamlined management of devices - even remotely. Dynabook's proprietary BIOS can also be upgraded and managed remotely to maintain the highest levels of security.

Backed by One of The Best Warranties in the Business
Backed by Dynabook's proven reliability and industry-leading +Care Service Warranty with On-site, the new Portégé X40-K from Dynabook will provide years of worry-free reliability. Featured SKUs are backed by three years of coverage, while Build-to-Order configurations are backed by four years. With additional access to an extensive service and support network, Dynabook +Care Service warranties help businesses minimize downtime and reduce IT costs.

Dynabook will offer multiple configurations of the Portégé X40-K laptop through the company's network of resellers or at us.dynabook.com. MSRP pricing will start at $1,349.99 for the Portégé X40-K.

I don't know about you... but the fact that Toshiba left America and Europe... and went to Asia to change its name now Dynabook...

and that it comes back with a severe hardware delay does not please me... I was looking for a device similar to my Satellite S55 B015EF21XO

they offer nothing with the mx450 within the executive range...

One can back the clocks/volts down if things get too hot. I like the looks of it. Very eye-catching! I would love to see an 18" version of this with an NVidia GPU and the same design language!

They didn't change their name, Toshiba sold it's notebook division, hence why they're now called Dynabook, which in turn is owned by Sharp, of which Foxconn is the majority shareholder these days.

I have no idea if their products are as good as they used to be, but the older Portégé range was great back when Toshiba was in charge, if you wanted a thin and light notebook.
