Review Toshiba Tecra R840-11E Notebook

Worker in black. Toshiba enlarges its business notebook family with the Tecra R840-11E that promises high mobility and high performance. The Tecra R840-11E, with an i5-2520M CPU, incorporated HD 3000 graphics and a conventional 320 GB HDD is to cost...

Anti-glare display; Good connectivity; Stays cool; Low system noise; Touchpad can be disabled; Basic business design

Small opening angle; Poor viewing angle stability; Poor results in color gamut comparison; Poor display brightness and contrast

The quiet fan that first gets clearly audible in the stress test

Toshiba Tecra R840 (S8430)

With its slim profile and long battery life, the Toshiba Tecra R840 is a compelling, travel-friendly business notebook.

Among all of the available 14-inch business notebooks, the Toshiba Tecra R840 is one of the sleekest money can buy. It has a slim and smart-looking design, a bright display, and good performance for the price. Just don't expect great sound. While the...

Battery drains spontaneously

If you want a laptop that cannot be disconnected for any length of time from the power cord, this is the computer for you. If you want a portable laptop, look elsewhere

Thin, light

Since obtaining it, the battery is draining by 1% per hour when not in use. Unfortunately, a replacement battery is not available from Toshiba, even though it is a brand new model

Good Business Machine

Ordered next day delivery. Newegg does not disappoint.

Slim, professional look. Long battery life (ran 7 hrs on first charge). Quiet. Fast boot. Stays cool on my lap. Decent graphics. Fast

Bloatware with no convenient way to clean it off (NetZero, Ama(that big online retailer whose name must not be mentioned in a Newegg review)zon shopping, Norton Internet Security, etc.). Arrived with the Accupoint button missing and Toshiba phone...

Bad experience, avoid

I have had poor quality and repair experiences with not one, but two Toshibas, one of this model and another as well. One had display issues, the other had a noisy fan plus a plastic piece around the headphone mount came off making it unusable. After...
