Review Toshiba Tecra R840-11E Notebook

 

Worker in black. Toshiba enlarges its business notebook family wi

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

 

Tecra. It's Toshiba for "business", and we somewhat like this one.

Toshiba includes both the 64- and 32-bit versions of Windows 7 Home Premium. Great battery life. Fantastic warranty. Good performance for the cost.

Bundled with the usual crapware that will require a good uninstall session.

The Tecra R840 is the perfect mid-range laptop, which, despite supplying adequate power, doesn't sacrifice on battery life.

Toshiba Tecra R840 review

 

Toshiba has launched something of an oddity into the laptop market with its new Tecra R840-12F – a thin and light laptop with a larger-than-usual 14in screen. But will that be enough to make it stand out from the competition? Tom Morgan finds out.

Apart from the slightly larger screen, there’s very little to differentiate the Tecra R840 from the 13in competition. Thankfully, it excels in many other areas, including performance, battery life and connectivity. If you don’t mind carrying a little...

Toshiba Tecra R840 review

 

Toshiba is a trusted name when it comes to business laptops, and it's not hard to see why. Its range has machines to suit every need, from ludicrous gaming rigs to thin, light and ground-breaking ultra-portables. The Tecra R840 we're looking is closer...

Compact, good security, powerful, great keyboard, high-end CPU and plenty of RAM

Battery life could be better, feels a little flimsy in places, quite expensive

The Tecra R840-12F is a fantastic PC that matches good business features with a high-end processor, Windows 7 Professional and excellent security options. It's let down only by the high price and somewhat uninspiring design.

I don't need another laptop just now, thank you, but I *am* hungry now.

Faulty laptop

 

Other than the keyboard, the laptop works fine

The keyboard doesn't work properly, while I'm typing the cursor jumps back so I end up writing in the middle of a paragraph. At first I thought it was user error, but now I'm sure something is wrong. Course now it just slipped by my 90 day warranty, so...

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...

Great Business Laptop

 

Toshiba's Tecra R840 is a great business laptop. The quality, design and particularly the performance lives up to what I expected from Toshiba. I have purchased Tecra's in the past and have been happy with them. However, I love the new design of their...
