Toshiba Tecra R940 review

 

A business laptop with plenty of decent features

Solid outer build ; 7200rpm hard drive ; Good choice of ports ; Lots of business features

Below average screen ; Flex under keyboard ; Low-quality trackpad ; Expensive

The tagline behind the Toshiba Tecra R940 is designed to be a serious business laptop.

Toshiba Tecra R940-1JG review - 14in business laptop ticks some boxes

 

At first glance, the rather nondescript matt-black design of the Toshiba Tecra R940-1JG looks identical to that of its Toshiba stablemate, the Toshiba Portégé R930. It's certainly true that both laptops are aimed at business users, and both ship with...

Tecra R940/R950 Notebook

 

The Tecra notebooks are particularly suitable for business travellers. Thanks to reduced dimensions and low weight, they are easy to transport. The jury was also impressed with the long battery life of the notebooks.

Review Toshiba Tecra R940-S9440 Notebook

 

Sensible productivity. Toshiba's well-rounded Tecra line of business notebooks pursues ergonomic luxury with an understated appearance. Can the R940, with the help of its Ivy Bridge chipset, continue to impress?

Great build quality, Relatively lightweight, High-quality keyboard, Excellent performance with no throttling, Reasonable temperatures, The great build quality, relatively light weight, excellent keyboard, and fast performance make this a serious...

Subpar battery life, LCD lacks brightness and contrast, Middling graphical performance for a dedicated adapter, Touchpad isn't always accurate, Almost entirely plastic construction, Weak speakers, A much better quality LCD (brightness and contrast...
