A good laptop, which really needs a RAM upgrade

By markhowson999 (ciao.co.uk) Read the full review

This laptop is quite good at simple tasks, but really falls flat on its face when it comes to speed, and games.

Good screen

Slow

Laptop that would blow your mind (out of head)

By china_wolf (ciao.co.uk) Read the full review

Not that ugly, clear screen

Heavy, lame specs, sound, making you cry because you spent £550 on this sh*te

Toshiba Tecra A10-10B - Versatile office machine

By Nikolaj Grundtvig (laptop-review.eu)

It is once again time to take a look at a laptop from Toshiba's Tecra series. The Tecra series is designed for business users, and the machines are accordingly equipped with Windows Vista Business Edition.

Good processor ; Firewire og eSATA ; Trackpoint

To many unnecessary pre-installed programs ; Slightly boring design ; Poor graphics performance ; Slightly expensive

The Tecra A10-10B – while an attractivee business laptop – is not the greatest of attention magnets. It has a conservative design and it is obvious that the machine with its grey look is made for business(wo)men. The Tecra has a handful of features...

The addition of trackpoint is sure to appeal to many business users who are used to this sort of mouse control from the ThinkPad series. In this way, Toshiba might sway some users to opt for the Tecra. Besides luring ThinkPad users to the trough,...

Toshiba Tecra A10

By David Ramli (goodgearguide.com.au)

In the current economic climate, most users looking to buy a notebook will be asking one question above all others: does it give me value for money? S...

Sturdy chassis, powerful CPU, good range of expansion ports

Heavy, not enough RAM, boring design

The Toshiba Tecra A10's excellent CPU is wasted thanks to a puny 1GB of RAM. If you want a decent machine with a sub-$1500 price tag, then this is a device worth considering — as long as you upgrade the memory.
