Reviews for the Toshiba Tecra Z40t-B
Source: Laptop Mag
Archive.org versionToshiba delivered a long-lasting road warrior for $1,479, with enough power for most users, a fingerprint reader and a highly accurate display. I just wish its keyboard delivered a better experience, and that the notebook came with an SSD at this price. Still, the Z40t's speedy performance, durability and security make it a serious contender for mobile executives.

Model: The Tecra Z40t-B, a solid offer from Toshiba, is set to impress medium-to-heavy users with its wide array of features ranging from a shock-absorbent construction, a spill-resistant keyboard to a security system with fingerprint reader. Its lid is lined with a fine grain texture for easier grip. As its crucial components are well protected from damage and its hinge is claimed to last more than 10-times opening and closing per day for 5 years (a total of 20,000 cycles), rough users can expect a fuss-free experience. This 14.0 inch model provides an amazing 1080p display with bright and vivid colors, which is driven by an Intel HD Graphics 5500 chip.
With an Intel i7-5600U dual core processor, the Toshiba Tecra Z40t-B is a suitable for multitasking, since several tabs, programs and downloads can run simultaneously without adverse effects on performance. Another noteworthy feature is its various touch-input devices – screen, pointing stick and touchpad, which are all responsive and accurate. As it comes pre-installed with Windows 10 Pro, the touchscreen is especially useful for the operating system's screen gestures. This 1.7 kg model features 8 GB of RAM, 500 GB HDD and a battery life of up to 8 hours and 23 minutes. Thus is is a suitable choice for users preferring a balance between performance and portability.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
5600U: Broadwell-based ULV (ultra low voltage) dual-core processor for notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 5500 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
