Toshiba Tecra Z40-A1401

The Toshiba Tecra-Z40-A1401 ($ 1229) blends attractive as in other parts of the high-end ultraportable laptops currently on the market, for the most part. It is a fast, fourth-generation Intel Core i5 processor, a rigid frame is still pretty light, and even some unique security features. However, it has very few advantages over its rivals like pinepresyuhan, as well as some extraordinary disadvantages. This is not a bad choice but it should be your first.

Weighing in at 3.24 pounds, the Z40-A1401 is at the higher end of the scale ultraportable but still a bit lighter than, say, the latest 13-inch MacBook Pro. The system feels sturdy and durable too, which is probably where the extra weight is coming from (a good trade-off). What I do not think so fine, however, the metallic graphite finish. During the first few uses, I felt the exterior as it is subject to slight fine sandpaper RUB going off in my hand. Fortunately it dissipates over time, but instead of feeling secure in your hand, the texture of the casing just feel abrasive.

Typing backlit, chiclet-style feel good keyboard, as well as navigating with the trackpad, featuring a pair of mouse buttons above and below the surface areas. Although the display is not a touch screen, the trackpad does support some multi-touch gestures. There's even a pointing stick for users who still are not fond of swiping a small square to scroll.

The biggest knock against the Z40-A1401 smart design is the relatively low-resolution, 14-inch screen. Although the integrated webcam is full HD, it prebuilt unit only has one commonly found in the lower price Ultrabooks 1366-by-768 display. Besides being kind of granular and dim to look at, limiting the ability of users to efficiently multitask system. When the two windows side by side onscreen, such as a spreadsheet or document and a browser and a video, only a fraction of them will be displayed. With systems like the Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus ($ 1,399.99) Sporting a 3,200-by-1,800-resolution display for not much more money, the Z40-A1401 should at least support 1080p instead of the current capping out at 720p.
