Toshiba Tecra R840 Laptop

Laptops now have to deal with the challenge that netbooks and even tablet PC’s offer. Today’s laptops are now gearing towards becoming thinner, lighter and yet become more powerful in terms of computing performance in order to stay ahead. The Toshiba Tecra R840 may be included in this new line of laptops in the market.

The Toshiba Tecra R840 is currently Toshiba’s thinnest 14″ laptop to date. It weighs only around 4.2 pounds and measures only about an inch thin when closed. But despite its thin profile, it is designed to be more robust by integrating a unique honeycomb structure for a fiberglass reinforced chassis to increase durability and rigidity along with some shock absorbing features.

The thin form factor of the Toshiba Tecra R840 may not easily show the computing power that it houses. Inside this laptop houses the 2nd generation Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors. It can also come with AMD graphics with a dedicated 1GB memory for a better visual experience. Other features include USB 3.0 slots for faster transfer speeds for external devices and a power saving Eco Utility feature. The Toshiba Tecra R840 Laptop is now available at Toshiba and starts at US$899 for the base unit.
