Dynabook Direct × Note PC "dynabook T75" that becomes a BT speaker that can customize sound

You can use the dynabook T75 as a speaker by connecting it to your smartphone via Bluetooth.

Toshiba's 15.6-inch laptop 2015 summer model "dynabook T75/R" (Web direct sales models are "dynabook AB65/R", "dynabook AB55/R" and "dynabook AB45/R") are Blu-ray It is characterized by its high performance as a media player, such as a built-in disc drive and standard installation of "TruLINK +" that supports playback of high-resolution sound sources.

Furthermore, when I actually used it, I found that it has the performance to be the best entertainment machine depending on how to use the pre-installed TruLINK+ and "TOSHIBA Bluetooth Device Profile Utility". . Last time, I mainly introduced the appearance that has been redesigned and has become cool, but this time I will introduce the usability of the dynabook T75/R functions and software.

This is recommended!　Sent via Bluetooth from a smartphone and played back on a PC speaker

　First of all, the audio function that I liked the most was the TOSHIBA Bluetooth Device Profile Utility (wireless music function). If you connect the dynabook T75/R and your smartphone via Bluetooth, you will be able to listen to the music on your smartphone through the dynabook T75/R speakers. In other words, you can use the dynabook T75/R as a smartphone speaker.

　In addition, you can also use the surround system "DTS Sound" that allows you to freely customize the "bass", "voice" and "treble". I was able to enjoy high-quality music that I could not listen to with the built-in speaker of my smartphone. Another feature is that DTS Sound is optimized by the audio brand "Skullcandy", which is loved by world-famous artists and musicians. The built-in speaker is made by Onkyo. The headphone jack is also tuned by Skullcandy.

By inserting the earphones connected to the smartphone into the dynabook T75/R and selecting songs on the smartphone, I was able to listen to higher quality music than when connected to the smartphone. In particular, the bass and surround feeling are very different when DTS Sound is on or off. I usually listen to music on my smartphone, but since the dynabook T75/R arrived, it has become one of my favorite functions to listen to music after inserting earphones into the dynabook T75/R.

　Bluetooth codec is only compatible with SBC, and does not support low-latency apt-X or AAC. However, if you don't mind the noise, the audio delay that occurs during video playback is not so large. Unless you're very picky about it, it shouldn't be too stressful.

Compatible with high resolution

The dynabook T75/R is equipped with the application "TOSHIBA Media Player by sMedio TruLink+" that supports high resolution sound sources.

　TOSHIBA Media Player by sMedio TruLink+ works with the high-resolution sound source distribution site "e-onkyo music".

If you connect high-resolution compatible headphones/earphones, you can immediately enjoy the purchased songs.

Blu-ray playback software "TOSHIBA Blu-ray Disc Player"

The dynabook T75/R has a built-in Blu-ray Disc drive as an AV function, and "TOSHIBA Blu-ray Disc Player" for playback. Player" is available.

　TOSHIBA Blu-ray Disc Player is equipped with "one-touch replay" and "one-touch skip" buttons that allow you to rewind/fast-forward for a certain amount of time just by pressing them. You can set the rewind/fast forward time from 5 seconds to 5 minutes with one click. With a cursor, it's hard to get to the scene you want to see, but you can rewind/fast-forward at intervals of 5 seconds to 5 minutes, so you can move to the scene you want to see in detail.

In addition, 4K output is possible using the HDMI terminal. You can view high-definition videos and images by connecting to a 4K compatible display or TV.

"Resolution Plus" that adjusts the brightness and darkness to enjoy crisp images

The display of the dynabook T75/R supports full HD (1920 x 1080 dots), giving you a crisp look. It uses a Clear SuperView IPS liquid crystal that realizes black and crisp colors. In addition, you can enjoy more natural and beautiful videos and images with "Resolution Plus", which uses Toshiba's proprietary technology to correct dark and bright scenes.

"Resolution Plus" can be turned on and off according to your preference

　I compared the sample images actually prepared by Toshiba with Resolution Plus turned on and off. When it was turned off, parts that were too bright or too dark were adjusted when turned on, and the background and people looked sharp and beautiful.

However, when some people in the editorial department compared it, some people said that in scenes where the sea is reflected, the high contrast state without adjusting the brightness is more beautiful. This is a matter of taste, so I would like you to switch it on and off. Resolution Plus can be switched with the "Screen Setting Utility" app.
