Pros:
Powerful processor – As you can see in the above specifications list this Toshiba Tecra business notebook has a super quick Core i7-620M quad-core processor, which if you don’t know will give you enough power to do 3D rendering or HD movie production faster than before.
Powerful memory – Also inside the Tecra A11-S3540 business notebook is 4GB of DDR3 memory at 1066MHz clock rate, with this much memory you’ll be able to multi-task as if you were on your desktop.
Decent storage – With 320GB of avialble storage you’ll have enough room for all your programs and important documents.
Nvidia graphics – If you plan on doing any 3D or HD work using a integrated Intel graphics controller won’t cut it. That is why Toshiba put the Nvidia NVS 2100M graphics card inside it new Tecra business notebook.
Good display – The 15.6″ HD+ LED back-lit display is of good quality and lets you see resolutions higher than 720p. The native resolution on this display is 1600x 900.
Cons:
Average battery life – The Toshiba Tecra A11-S3540 business notebook did just average in battery life tests averaging around 3 hours battery life.
Possible weight issues – This notebook weighs 5.6 pounds and with the battery life being relatively low this isn’t the ideal choice for mobile computing.
Windows XP Professional – It would have been better if Toshiba would have just installed Windows 7 professional which lets you work in either Windows 7 or Windows XP easily.

The Notebook (Limited Edition Gift Set) [Blu-ray] $20.99 When you consider that old-fashioned tearjerkers are an endangered species in Hollywood, a movie like The Notebook can be embraced without apology.

Still, this touchingly i… |
