Source: 3djake.com (verified 2026-07-13) · corroborated by vinylcuttingmachines.net. The official Silhouette product page (silhouetteamerica.com/portrait-4) returned HTTP 403 and could not be fetched, so specs are drawn from the 3DJake retailer listing, which reproduces Silhouette's published technical specification table (Manufacturer No. SILH-PORTRAIT-4-5T, EAN 819177026894; cutting force Tool Holder 1: 210 g; max cutting thickness 2 mm; cutting range with mat 8.5 × 12 in; USB 2.0 + Bluetooth; device weight ~1.85 kg), and corroborated by VinylCuttingMachines.net's dated review (Aug 17, 2025), which independently lists 210 gf, 8.5 × 12 in mat, 2 mm clearance, USB 2.0 + Bluetooth, 1.85 kg weight, and Print-Then-Cut = Yes. Both pages unambiguously identify the exact Portrait 4 (distinct from the Portrait 3, Cameo 5, and Curio 2). Price: the review headlines $199.99 as the current US price (it also mentions a $159 RRP); $199.99 was used as the typical US price. compatibleToolCount and releaseDate were left null because neither fetched page states an explicit tool count or a release date verbatim.
