reflective screen and short battery life

reflective screen and short battery life
Welcome to a Biomedical Battery specialist of the Toshiba Laptop Battery
There's a 1.5cm bezel around the top and sides of the 15.6-inch screen, and an even larger 2cm bezel at the bottom of the screen, resulting in a sizeable desktop footprint measuring 37.9cm wide by 24.5cm deep.
With smaller convertibles a wide bezel makes real sense: when you're working with the screen fully rotated to face outermost you might be tempted to hold a laptop in one or two hands, tablet-style, and the bezel prevents accidental taps of the touchscreen. You won't want to hold the Radius 15 like this for too long, though -- unless you're comfortable carrying 2.24kg of weight.
If you are, be very careful of the keyboard. Its keys don't physically with battery such as Toshiba PA3693U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3692U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3457U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3451U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3431U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3332U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3307U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3785U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba Mini NB305 Battery, Toshiba PA3781U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3259U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3734U-1BRS Batterylock out, making it easy to press them indiscriminately. When you do this nothing happens on-screen, but we wonder how easy it would be to damage the keys. To be fair, this is a general problem with most convertible laptops: keyboard locking should really be a standard feature on convertibles.
We were also unsure about Presentation mode, finding the Radius 15 lacking a bit of stability. On the other hand, its large screen makes it great for group presentations in any mode (even headclashing Tabletop mode), while in tablet mode having 15.6 inches of screen to play with is useful. Sad, then, that the stereo speakers are a bit of a let-down in this respect: audio output lacks bass, although there's plenty of volume.
There is a far more significant usability issue, however. Our review sample came with a 1,920-by-1,080-pixel (141ppi) screen, and that's the highest resolution you can buy in the UK, although US customers can get a 4K UltraHD (3,840 x 2,160,282ppi) display. The main problem, though, is that the screen is extremely reflective and there's no escaping the distraction of its mirror-like qualities. We were unimpressed with the constant reflection of our own face when working in laptop mode, and although the TruBrite IPS panel's viewing angles are inherently fine, all we could often see in practice was whatever the screen was reflecting. This would be a deal-breaker for us.
