Review: Toshiba Tecra M6-EZ6611 - Laptop Mag
The powerful Toshiba Tecra M6-EZ6611 Notebook PC has been reviewed by Laptop Magazine. 'The Toshiba Tecra M6 ($1,494 direct) is a nicely equipped ultraportable for business travelers who want a lightweight notebook that won’t break their budget. Unlike competing systems, such as the Dell Latitude D420 and the Lenovo ThinkPad X series, the M6 has a built-in optical drive (a multiformat DVD burner in this configuration). That brings the weight to just above four pounds (versus three-plus pounds for the others), but road warriors who prefer not to have to keep track of a media slice probably won’t mind the M6’s extra heft.
The machine’s magnesium alloy shell feels solid in the hand, and the boxy, dark-silver-and-black design, though conservative, is handsome. Business users will find a full complement of ports on the M6: three USB ports (two on the right edge, one on the left), a Type II PC Card slot, a 6-in-1 memory card reader, and a FireWire port (though its placement on the front edge means a connected cable will snake toward you). We appreciate the handy Wi-Fi toggle switch and volume wheel on the right edge, as well as the Presentation button, which automatically adjusts settings (VGA-out enabled, sleep mode off, and so on) for presenters.'
