Dynabook Tecra A50-J review – Toshiba or not Toshiba
Source: Laptop Media English
Ultimately, the Tecra A50-J is a good purchase. It offers a great number of upgrade options, while the feature package is on a high level. This includes a fingerprint reader, a camera privacy shutter, and an optional IR face recognition sensor. Add a TPM 2.0 chip to the mix, as well as a wide variety of security features. On the other hand, you get two Thunderbolt 4 connectors, a MicroSD card slot, a LAN port, and an HDMI 2.0 connector. All of that is further expanded by two USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) ports. This is an I/O that would make the ThinkPad E15 Gen 2 pretty envious. At this pace, Dynabook is going to establish itself as one of the leaders in business computing. We would really like to see what kind of innovation have its R&D specialists prepared for the future. Also, we are going to be excited for a gaming laptop from this brand, given the good efforts on the cooling front.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
