Toshiba's Tecra R10 laptop PC features the following high-performance technology components:
Display: Toshiba's Tecra R10 features a Z-hinge design with a 135-degree opening, to provide a slim profile design. The use of LED backlighting further reduces the Tecra R10's thickness when compared to laptops with standard CCFL backlighting systems. EasyGuard® Technology: Toshiba's Tecra R10 laptop features Toshiba's fourth-generation EasyGuard Technology with PC Health Monitor. This new feature is a preventative maintenance utility that continuously checks the performance and functionality of a laptop's critical hardware components and will alert users when the system is in need of a tune up. PC Health Monitor tracks the status of critical components, such as hard drive status, battery life and CPU temperature and system cooling warnings. In addition to PC Health Monitor, Toshiba's EasyGuard Technology is a proprietary, value-added series of hardware and software enhancements designed to better protect and secure one's laptop during everyday computing. Components include HDD Protection, a spill-resistant keyboard(7), fingerprint reader and Trusted Platform Module (TPM). Processor: A full-powered, energy-efficient 25W Intel® Centrino 2 processor on the Tecra R10 laptop PC allows Toshiba to use a more compact cooling system, including smaller fans and heat sink, which enables a thinner and lighter design. The adoption of this processor helps the Tecra R10 deliver up to 5 hours of battery life(4). ExpressCard: The ExpressCard slot supports both ExpressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54 form factors and offers increased bandwidth and hot-swapping capabilities. USB Sleep-and-Charge/eSATA Combo Port(8): This unique port provides convenience and speed by allowing data transfers to and from an eSATA external hard drive at rates up to five times faster than USB 2.0, and the ability to charge select USB mobile devices whether the laptop is on, off, or in sleep or hibernation mode. Green Attributes: The Tecra R10 is ENERGY STAR® 4.0 compliant and has achieved a Silver status through the Green Electronics Council's Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT). Complete product specifications for all Tecra R10 models are available at www.explore.toshiba.com/laptops/tecra/R10.
The Tecra R10 is available with a three-year standard limited warranty(9), which includes carry-in support at Authorized Service Providers throughout the country such as UPS Stores and Mail Boxes Etc. locations.
As a responsible global corporate citizen, Toshiba designs all of its new laptops to be RoHS compatible(10), effectively reducing the environmental impact by restricting the use of lead, mercury and certain other hazardous substances.
