CNET have published a review of the Toshiba Tecra A6-EZ6411 business laptop. 'The 14-inch Toshiba Tecra A6 strikes a nice balance between usability and portability--as well as price and performance. We reviewed the Tecra A6-EZ6411 model, one of three preconfigured models available; Toshiba also sells a configurable model (starting at $859) direct from its site, but it's important to note that the A6-EZ6411 is the only Tecra A6 model at the time of this writing that offers Windows Vista. The Tecra A6-EZ6411 comes with Vista Business Edition and can be found online for roughly $1,200. While cheaper laptops such as the Gateway NX270S will likely suffice for basic business use, the Tecra A6-EZ6411 delivers more powerful mainstream specs that will help it better stand the test of time. Despite the presence of some business-minded security features such as a fingerprint reader and hard drive protection, the glossy, reflective wide-screen display may turn off many would-be business buyers.
