Reviews for the Dynabook Tecra A40-K-101

60% Dynabook Tecra A40-K-101 review: Master of none
Source: It Pro English
Overall, the Dynabook Tecra A40 is something of a middling entry to the business laptop space. Though it scored very well on performance, proving its worth as a portable workhorse, its other shortcomings make it hard to imagine a use case in which it really excels. Battery life and colour accuracy are the clear pitfalls here. Despite this, it's still a capable entry in the Dynabook range, if one without a clear purpose in mind. Light, equipped with a great keyboard and with more ports than you have peripherals, the Tecra A40 is a capable, if not indispensable, laptop for business use.

14.00":

Above all, this display size is used for subnotebooks, ultrabooks and convertibles. For all three types, this size is quite large. The biggest variety of subnotebooks is represented with this size.

Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.
