"The new Tecra® A8 notebook will be a category killer," said Ahmed Khalil, General Manager for Toshiba Computer Systems, Middle East and Africa. "With quality high-end features at a price point for entry-level notebooks, the new Tecra® A8 will appeal to SMBs and mobile professionals looking for a robust notebook that supports their business needs and falls within budget constraints."
The 15.4" wide-screen Tecra® A8 features a professional, stylish new design that houses enhanced Toshiba EasyGuard Technologies including Shock Protection, a Spill-resistant keyboard, stronger LCD panel protection and display hinge, 3D Accelerometer and HDD Case Protection that safeguards against daily wear and tear by mobile professionals. The design also includes improvements for enhanced security, protection and connectivity features.
"To ensure optimal design quality, improved data protection and uncompromised system security, Toshiba has run Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) on the Tecra® A8,"
said Khalil.
"HALT is a process used during the design stage of a product that provides a stringent environment to force design and process maturity. The process involves a series of physical tests subjecting the notebooks to extreme heat, shock and vibration exercises. The extreme tests have resulted in enhanced sturdiness of Toshiba EasyGuard features to support professionals working in the most extreme environments and to ensure a high quality reliable computing experience."
Khalil added that the extremely durable chassis design includes improvements that make the Tecra® A8 significantly more resistant to the pressure of working time than its predecessor - 3-times stronger display hinges, 50 percent stronger motherboard, 2 ½ times more sturdy LCD panel, 50 percent less bending HDD cover and a 44 percent less bending spill-resistant keyboard.
"The robust architecture of the Tecra® A8 allows uninterrupted peace of mind, both in the office or on the go," concluded Khalil.
The Tecra® A8 comes powered with the latest Intel® Centrino® Duo mobile technology enabling businesses to enhance security, expand connectivity and improve manageability and battery-life. Combined with Toshiba ConfigFree™ software which allows users to easily set up a network connection, troubleshoot connectivity problems, capture a complete set of location settings for future use and create an ad hoc network for collaboration, the Tecra® A8 is the ideal choice for business users who would rather focus on their core business activity rather than IT issues.
The Tecra® A8 will be available in the UAE from mid July.
