Product Highlights 

 

Affordable:

  The Toshiba Tecra A1 notebook PC is ideally designed 

for the corporate enterprise user and telecommuters who need a low-
cost desktop replacement notebook to handle all of their productivity 
needs. 

 

 

Desktop Performance:  

Powered by the Intel® Mobile Pentium® 4-M, 

2.20GHz, up to 1GB of memory and a large 15.0” diagonal XGA 
display, corporate users have all of the power and features they need 
to perform vital computing applications without the confines of a 
desktop PC.  For additional storage space, the Tecra A1 hard drive 
capacity can be configured to up to 60GB.   

 

 

Low Total Cost of Ownership:

 The Tecra A1 notebook PC also 

includes Toshiba’s ConfigFree™ software empowering users to 
troubleshoot technical problems, thus reducing the amount of calls to 
IT help desk support and loss of productivity time by the end user.  The 
added value of a single image across all configurations, results in the 
reduction of the total cost of ownership   

 

 

Wireless Ready!:

 With integrated dual-band antennae, the Tecra A1 

can be configured to support dual Wi-Fi® (IEEE 802.11b and 
802.11a/b) wireless connectivity allowing users to connect to their 
wireless corporate networks without the hassles of cords or cables.  
Providing more options to connect, the Tecra A1 notebook PC also 
features integrated 10/100 Ethernet LAN and built-in V.92 modem. 

 

 

Innovative Design and Optimized Comfort: 

Packaged in a stylish 

industrial design, combined with desktop performance features and 
integrated wireless connectivity, the Tecra A1 notebook PD delivers on 
Toshiba’s commitment to market affordable, reliable and feature-rich 
mobile products to the corporate customer.
