There’s just no getting around the fact that business laptops are pricey compared to standard consumer-focused devices. If you don’t need business-focused features like Intel’s vPro remote management and security hardware, the pricier Pro version of...

Reasonably priced. Responsive touch screen. Good performance and strong battery life in testing.

Heavy and a little slippery. No solid-state drive (SSD). Mouse buttons need to be firmly pressed to work. Some flexing around the touchpad.

Conclusion The Toshiba Tecra Z40-B1420 has a lot going for it—a fast, fifth-generation Intel processor, good multimedia performance, and a long-lasting battery. The exterior isn't quite as durable or solidly built as the Dell Latitude 14 7000 Series...

Strong battery life ; Light in weight ; Docking port

Average benchmark performance ; Dim display with resolution of only 1366 by 768 pixels ; Mechanical hard drive

Toshiba doesn’t deliver enough in the way of features or performance to justify this business laptop’s lofty price tag.

Low-res screen hampers multitasking. No SSD. Exterior has an unpleasant texture.

Keyboard with low feedback ; Clickpad ; oddly placed fingerprint reader ; performance inconsistently too low in the Cinebench benchmarks

As in the predecessor, there are indeed several points of criticism. The most important are the input devices, which are not entirely suitable for this category. The keyboard features a low feedback and we would have preferred a conventional touchpad...
