Reviews of the Toshiba Tecra M9
-
CNET Review
The Good: Solid construction with a spill-resistant keyboard; Centrino Pro platform for added security and support.
The Bad: Big and bulky for a 14-inch laptop; bloatware clutters the desktop and hard drive, which is particularly offensive on a business system.
The Bottom Line: The 14-inch Toshiba Tecra M9 business laptop makes up for its somewhat unwieldy design by offering Intel's Centrino Pro platform, plus shock and spill protection.
