Reviews for the Toshiba Tecra A11-125

85% Review Toshiba Tecra A11-125 Notebook | Notebookcheck
Reliable Business. The Tecra notebook, designed and produced by Toshiba, the Japanese giant, is a reliable office companion. The current A11 series attempts to attract customers with its price range and business quality features like a sturdy case and a variety of ports for extensive connectivity.

What it comes down to is whether you actually need everything that Toshiba has thrown into this machine or if you would be better served by something a little thinner, sleeker, and less utility-laden. But if you need a notebook computer that includes everything from Serial ATA to serial RS-232 and like having a host of handy utilities just a click away, the Tecra A11-S3540 might be just the system for you.

In the Tecra A11, Toshiba has created a very capable and affordable system for small business users. For $879, you get a fairly powerful processor, useful productivity features (such as the ability to create a hotspot on the fly), and budget-minded security utilities like Secure Digital Token. And if all that fails, Toshiba’s three-year warranty is very reassuring.

Lots of elements make up a good laptop: powerful performance, long battery life and the screen. The Toshiba Tecra A11 stands out thanks to its fantastic screen; there’s no irritating reflections to deal with, and the widescreen aspect ratio makes multitasking lots of applications a pleasure.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics: Onboard graphics card that is built in the new Arrandale CPUs (Core i3 / i5 / i7 Dual Cores). Depending on the model and Turbo Boost, the GMA HD is clocked between 166 and 766 MHz.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


430M:

The Core i5-430M is a middle class dual core CPU that features only 3 MB L3 Cache (compared to the I7-640M) and clocks between 2.26-2.53 GHz (Turbo Mode). Furthermore, VT-d, trusted Execution and AES features are missing in the 430M. Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (Intel HD Graphics with 500-733 MHz) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.

15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


2.6 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.


Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a Japanese conglomerate or technology group. The company was established in 1939 and in 1978 Toshiba became the official company name. The company's products and services include power, industrial and social infrastructure systems, elevators and escalators, electronic components, semiconductors, hard drives, printers, batteries, lighting, logistics and information technology. Toshiba was one of the largest manufacturers of personal computers, consumer electronics, home appliances and medical equipment.


77.4%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
