Toshiba Tecra A3X Review

One of the biggest brand names for laptops is Toshiba, and with it coming out with models for every marketable group, they are all the more appealing.

Pocket-lint takes a look at their affordable Tecra A3X with its 15 inch display and 40GB hard drive.

At this price, don’t expect the latest of components either as it comes powered by an Intel Celeron M 370 (1.5GHz) processor and 512MB of DDR2 memory. If you’re simply looking for a cost-effective machine to handle office tasks, check email and generally surf the web, this configuration will be fine.

Where this notebook starts to stand out from similarly priced machines is in the build quality, which is superior and designed for long-term use. The plastics used are solid and gives the machine a good feel.

The Tecra A3X has a great price, and is lightweight, but in order to achieve both things there were many sacrifices made, as the graphics are integrated, and the battery only lasted around two hours, so the reviewer only gave it a 7 out of 10. I think for a few more dollars you could get a much better machine, even from Toshiba.
