CNET Review
The Good: Strong application performance for the money; attractive design and solid construction; roomy, comfortable keyboard; hard drive protection and spill-resistant keyboard provide peace of mind; fingerprint reader provides added security and convenience.
The Bad: Glossy screen coating bound to annoy business users; not configurable.
The Bottom Line: The Toshiba Tecra A6 is a well-designed business laptop that delivers good performance for the money and a host of business-friendly security features, but its glossy display will prove to be a deal breaker for many.
