It's difficult to think of a single major notebook manufacturer who hasn't also brought out a netbook by now. Unfortunately, in their haste to get on the mini-mobile-PC bandwagon, many of them have sacrificed considerations like ergonomics. Initially, it would appear Toshiba's NB100 netbook is yet another casualty of this trend, but let's find out how it actually holds up in this and other regards.Toshiba offers several different versions of its netbook, being available with a choice of Ubuntu or Windows XP Home, 512MB or 1024MB of memory and hard drive sizes of 80 or 160GB. Of course, core components like an Intel N270 Atom processor running at 1.60GHz and Intel integrated GMA 950 graphics remain constants. There's also a selection of colours available, though unfortunately these are tied to specific configurations.
Our particular model is the NB100-128, a Windows XP version which features a Champagne Gold finish and is configured with 1GB of RAM and a 120GB hard drive.
In terms of extras there's not much here; you don't get a carrying sleeve as with the Samsung NC10 or MSI Wind. What you do get is a helpful illustrated Quickstart guide, an extensive user manual and a Toshiba Recovery DVD including Windows XP Home Edition. Though the usefulness of this latter item with a machine that has no optical drive is arguable, it's better to have it than not, especially considering external USB-powered DVD-Rewriters are only £50 these days.

Toshiba Tecra A11 Notebook: Business-Class
Toshiba Tecra A11 Notebook: Business Class
Often, when targeting business professionals, laptop PC makers seem to focus so much on getting their products perceived as reliable or cost-effective that performance seems to become a secondary consideration. But the best business–class systems strike just the right balance, offering both solid performance and peace of mind. And with the Tecra A11, Toshiba is looking to show us that they've got that balance down to a Toshiba laptop for business class.
The Tecra A11 is a desktop replacement that's a little more portable than many of the breed, thanks to a 15.6- instead of 17-inch or larger screen -- but a high-resolution screen, rest assured, at 1,440 by 900 with native 720p HD support. Weighing in at as little as 5.6 pounds depending on configuration options, it measures 9.9 by 14.7 by 1.5 inches. So it's not the slimmest 15-inch-class laptop you're going to come across, but it's not the bulkiest, either.
And at a price of $1,349 for the top-of-the-line Tecra A11-S3540 model tested, Toshiba certainly packs a lot into the package. That starts with the Intel Core i7-620M, a 2.66GHz dual-core CPU that is paired with the Intel Mobile QM57 Express chipset, has 4MB of Smart Cache, accelerates to 3.33GHz for single-threaded workloads thanks to Turbo Boost Technology, and pretends to be a quad-core for multithreaded workloads thanks to Hyper-Threading.
The S3540 also comes configured with 4GB of DDR3-1066 memory (upgradable to 8GB, though you'll have to replace the included DIMMs to max out the memory). As far as storage goes, our Tecra came with a 7,200-rpm 320GB SATA hard drive that skimped neither on space nor performance. The included optical drive is a DVD Super Multi drive that supports any format you can think of short of Blue-ray.
We ran the daily battery test strain using a constant stream of audio files and video files as well as basic word documents and internet browsing. It stayed alive for a respectable 3 hours and 50 minutes, but dropped to just under 2 hours when playing a DVD. This isn't terribly impressive for normal usage, or compared to the competition, but do keep in mind the Toshiba Tecra A11 has almost a full pound advantage in weight over models like the Lenovo ThinkPad T400.

Conclusion
At a price tickling the $1500 mark, the Tecra A11 is a bit more spending than a close competitor like the Lenovo ThinkPad T400. It packs business class looks and comes loaded with almost everything you might need. While it may not be a lean and mean 12 or 13.3 inch form factor, the A11 is a very competitive with its 4.3 lb, 14.1 inch frame. Is it a bit more expensive than others hitting the mark? Yes - but I feel it's a very good contender to the Sony's and Mac books out there to carry a good brand following from Toshiba.
It plays fairly well on the road, has business casual looks, and performs like an rock star at the super bowl halftime show. I'm not sold on the hard drive space, and it could do justice for a slightly better resolution to match it's dedicated GPU. I suppose just make sure to keep a spare battery or power outlet nearby and I'd be safe to guess you'll stay productive - and if you planned on purchasing this unit for playing DVD's...you better tell your boss that before complaining to me about it.

Toshiba Tecra R10 business laptop
Toshiba Tecra R10 business laptop
While not particularly outstanding in one way or another, the Tecra R10 is a solid, well featured business laptop that rides the middle of the road in most aspects.
While not particularly outstanding in one way or another, the Tecra R10 is a solid, well featured business laptop that rides the middle of the road in most aspects.
Overview
Toshiba and business go well together, they make business line notebooks at a very competitive business price. We recently got our hands on the Tecra R10 from Toshiba and put it through the paces that any professional might want or need to do. It takes some design cues from the more expensive, consumer oriented Portage R600, but still features a simple ‘business class’ design. Despite being ‘business’ oriented, Toshiba was kind enough to pack it full of features, including a discrete Nvidia Quadro NVS 150M graphics processor with 128MB of dedicated memory. Let’s dive in and take a look at Toshiba’s Tecra R10.
Design
Classy. Simple. Uncluttered. There isn't anything on the Tecra I found overly annoying. There's no god-awful piercing LED lightens, there's no silly speaker adornments - it keeps it simple. Heck, even the power button is simple and doesn't light up, something I haven't seen for a while now; that is truly old school, and I like it.
The sleek tapered design for the LCD lid is welcome, it adds a very nice touch of eco-modernism to the design. The laptop itself is pretty thin as well and being clad in an aluminum-like paint scheme, it's not quite Tuxedo overkill for business, but what I'd call well dressed business casual. Upon opening the Tecra R10, you will find an ample palm rest and a matte black bezel surrounding the LCD. About the only thing that comes close to annoying is the mouse keys which are plastic chromed, which collects fingerprints but is not the worst we've seen on recent laptops. Kudos are deserved for matching the keyboard to the same color as the laptop as well - and only having 4 small stickers adorning the keypad.
Size and Weight
The Tecra is Toshiba’s business oriented thinner and lighter lineup, and it does an outstanding job at maintaining that image. It's not as thin as they come and it's not the featherweight champion, but I didn't have any issues picking up this 4.3 lb 14.1 inch laptop. Less than 5 lb is key for me and having both an integrated optical drive and decent sized screen while staying light is a testament to Toshiba’s engineers. It feels sturdy when you pick it up - and no supermodel dimensions adorn it as it is a bit bigger at 13.3×9.9×1.1-inches
Keyboard
A laptop with a bad keyboard might as well be a bicycle with square wheels. The Tecra R10's keyboard does a good job of keeping up to the task of being responsive, tactile, and quiet yet firm It did suffer a bit of flex when I observed my stubby nubs pounding at the nice sized keys, but it is acceptable and the 85 keys with nice spacing are appreciated. No fancy backlighting, no fancy number pad - the keyboard works as it should. I can't complain about the layout - it all seems simple and very thought out, except the left side. I'm not sure why they chose to have the power button and quick launch / info buttons on the left instead of the top, but I think they should have moved them there and made even more room for this nice keyboard.
I love that if you press the Caps Lock key has an LED that lights up to let you know when it is activated, taking the confusion away if you’re typing in the dark. The simple Toshiba Quick launch key beneath the power button is also very subtle, yet I found it strangely awesome and effective (albeit in the wrong place in my opinion). One tap and you have all your business vitals at your finger tip to enable / disable. Having page up and page down right next to the arrow keys was almost a hit and miss affair, but as soon as I got used to them, they were awesome to have available for quick scrolling and not having to wonder what combination or key I need to hit to get down that 100 page document awaiting my calling (income taxes anyone?). I guess if you had to nit-pick and use them a lot like I do, then it’s fair to note that home and end are in somewhat illogical places and require a Fn key command. Well, you can't win them all.
Touchpad
If I had to name my biggest beef about laptops in general, it's with track pads - some are good, some are horrible, and some are ok. Very rarely do we get a "very good" track pad - and unfortunately, the R10 doesn't get that award. There was too much lag with the cursor for my taste and it is turned off when the system is put into sleep mode, making it a 3-4 second delay to get things going. The buttons are relatively quiet and offer good feedback however, hundreds times better than the E105 buttons I reviewed.
Display Quality
Instant notice - we're not in the frizzled consumer crowd - no, this Tecra sports a matte screen. Although the colors may not be as rich, I prefer matte screens for business use as it cuts down annoying glare considerably, and at 1280x800 resolutions, you get a good bang for the buck for pixels in this 14.1" widescreen. The brightness was more than enough, though I wish there were a bit more steps in the lighting scheme as I noticed a very drastic change from 50% to 60% brightness. I would say, if you have a lamp nearby (like I do now) you could type relatively easily on about 30% brightness. Pumping it up to 100% after that was almost like stabbing my eyes as it was very, very bright; however it will be needed if battling a sunlit bus/train/plane/car ride. Color washout wasn't too bad and horizontal viewing angles were much better than expected. The top of the LCD bezel is a bit bigger than I'd want, but understandable because it's tapered and houses the 1.3MP webcam, which is perfect for Skype business chats. I do have a bit of beef with the hinges on the R10, as they are quite big and a bit bulky, but they felt sturdy enough and didn't offer much flex.
Connectivity
The Tecra R10 is pretty well stacked for connectivity, about on par for the business thin & light class. In particular, I have always LOVED the hardware scroll dial for the volume - keep it up Toshiba!
The left side houses a VGA port, 2 USB 2.0 Ports (one also doubles as an SATA connection), lock slot, mic input, headphone output, and that awesome volume dial.
The front is simple, a lone SD card reader. Unfortunately it is not a multi-card reader, but SD is very widely used today from digital cameras to cell phones to GPS.
The right side features the optical drive, wireless switch, another USB port, Ethernet port, and power port...but wait, cleverly hidden is an Express Card slot as well! Nice!
The rear is as simple as I like it, with nothing there. And for good reason as the LCD hinges push the LCD down to cover that area when in use, making any ports there inaccessible.

A virtual, customisable ‘Bulletin Board’ enables users to create instant thumbnail shortcuts, keeping desktops organised and offering one-click access to important files and folders. ‘ReelTime’ also accelerates file searching by automatically adding a shortcut to the timeline of recently used files, which can list up to 5,000 items visually, reducing time spent looking for documents.
Smart design, smart performance
The stylish Satellite Pro S500 features a new textured and scratch-resistant black chassis, with enhanced ergonomics designed specifically with business users in mind. A large TouchPad makes navigating documents and folders quick and simple, while two large chrome TouchPad buttons positioned either side of an advanced FingerPrint Reader offer an easy way to log-on or access sensitive documents.
