Review: Toshiba Tecra M5-S4333

 

This machine is the mullet of notebooks, adopting a business up front, party in the back attitude to deliver a powerful mobile solution without the...

Connect via modem, LAN, FireWire, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. Finger-print scanner keeps the competition out. Wi-Fi toggle switch conserves battery sans software. Included Windows Vista Business and MS Office run seamlessly. Integrated Accupoint nipple and...

Forget about watching a movie on the San Francisco to New York flight – the optical drive wipes out the battery in less than 2 hours. Dwarfish 4:3 screen and wimpy sound output are better suited for Lotus 1-2-3 rather than Splinter Cell

Toshiba Tecra M5 review: Toshiba Tecra M5

 

Lightweight yet sturdy; strong office productivity performance; comfy keyboard; Trusted Platform Module and fingerprint reader; long warranty.

Short battery life; display is not wide-screen; weak speakers; smallish touch pad; available only in fixed configurations.

But for its abbreviated battery life, the Toshiba Tecra M5 is a well-balanced, powerful business laptop.

Great battery life, CAD level GPU

Ageing optical drive

If you’re in the need of a specialised graphics card, there are many options for you to take.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Fast, with beautiful screen

 

fast with enough horsepower for the most demanding tasks (I'm running Solaris 10 under WinXP with VMware at what feels like native speed).

The USB ports are located on the sides but in the very front where things plugged into them get in the way and exposed to damage.

OK

 

I have a Tecra M5 which I use for work. It enables me to use all of the basic functionality of MS Office without a problem and this includes running some reasonable size databases. Personally I prefer a larger screen however when used in conjunction...

This is quite a small laptop and is also powerful enough to handle a reasonable volume of work.

A little on the heavy side for such a small machine. I also prefer a larger screen. It does suffer from overloads occasionally.
