Toshiba has just introduced a new product: a 2-in-1 notebook expected to take advantage of Windows 10 and compete against Microsoft’s new Surface Book hybrid laptop.

Toshiba’s DynaPad will come with a detachable keyboard. With this feature, it appears the upcoming tablet can also double as a traditional keyboard, as pointed out by CNET.

The report said the hybrid will sport a 12-inch screen display with a 1,920 x 1,280 pixel resolution. Plus, it will also feature anti-fingerprint and anti-reflection coatings on its surface.

It was confirmed the DynaPad won’t turn out to be a powerhouse device since it will run on an Atom processor and possess only 4 GB of memory. Its main feature seems to be its capability to be used as a digital notebook, as well as an image creator.

That said, Toshiba's DynaPad is expected to be the device closest to Microsoft's Surface Book -- a Windows 10 notebook the Redmond-based tech giant unveiled during its October 6 event.

The Surface Book is a 13-inch laplet that’s very thin and very light. Just like the DynaPad, its package also comes with a detachable keyboard and a digital pen for doodling on the touch screen or writing down notes. As Microsoft has boasted on the Windows Blog, the Surface Book's high precision feature was "designed to replicate the natural feeling of writing with a pen on paper”.

Toshiba's DynaPad can be purchased by consumers in the U.S. and Europe during the first quarter of 2016. For Asian customers (particularly those in Japan) the device is ready for preorder and will be launched in December.

Now that Microsoft and Toshiba have their own hybrid laptops, it’s up to other gadget makers to come up with their own take on the device. Clearly, the Surface Book and the DynaPad are Microsoft's and Toshiba's way of convincing consumers that Windows 10 laplets are worth buying.
