Dear Notebookcheck and Anandtech: The i-7 8550U is Kaby R, not Whiskey. The current Dynabooks / Toshibas don't have Whiskey.

 

Good catch, @kurt corbin . Judging by their web site, they have quite a ways to go to be contenders in western markets, but not yet clear where they're aiming. Buying Toshiba's entire PC business for $36 million makes it hard to lose on this. I would love to see the brand's strengths supported by better QC and customer support and because they took in 400 engineers it's really possible for them to build on the earlier design reputation it earned.
