Toshiba Portege X20W (12.5-Inch, 2017)

Slim, light, and compact. Attractive display. Stylus is standard. Ample battery life.

Minimal port selection. Tricky touchpad.

Bottom Line: A bright screen, great stylus support, and 14-hour battery life place the Toshiba Portege X20W-D in a class with the best 2-in-1 convertible laptops.

Superb finish and design ; Multi-purpose power charger ; Exceptional battery life ; Decent computational performance

Lack of connectivity ; SATA 3 SSD rather than PCIe ; Sub-par graphics performance ; Short warranty

The Toshiba Portégé X20W will appeal to those looking for a laptop that can last all day long, and deliver some serious computational power while weighing almost nothing. It is expensive, but that won’t be a problem for the target audience.

The Toshiba Portege X20W is a well-made business 2-in-1 that has great performance but shorter-than-average battery life.

The Toshiba Portege X20W-D is a stylish business ultraportable 2-in-1 that's small enough and light enough to easily use as an everyday-carry laptop and tablet. Battery life and performance are solid for office tasks, presentations and light photo...

The keyboard is a bit cramped and shallow and the touchpad is relatively small, too. It has just two ports and no SD card slot. No storage on the laptop for the included stylus.

The featherlight, flexible Portege X20W-D shows Toshiba hasn't lost its touch when it comes to business laptops, delivering a solid 2-in-1 that's ready for long flights, boardroom presentations and coffee shop brainstorms.

Short on ports ; USB-C port is unavailable when charging ; Build quality could be sturdier ; 14.5-hour battery life claim seems ambitious

Stellar performance; Excellent screen; Lightweight; Long-lasting battery

Expensive; Cooling fans can get very loud

The Toshiba Portege X20W is a beast of a machine, with performance and battery life that quashes even Dell's excellent XPS 13. It's pricey, but if you want an ultraportable that doesn't compromise on power then the X20W will scratch your itch.
