CNET reviews the Toshiba Tecra A6-EZ6411 (rating: 6.4/10) and writes;

“The Tecra A6-EX6411 delivers good value for the money. Its Core 2 Duo T5600 processor, 1GB of 667MHz DDDR2 memory, and 80GB 5,400rpm hard drive are standard-issue mainstream specs, but what gives the Tecra A6 a leg up on many business laptops is its 128MB Nvidia Quadro NVS 110M graphics card. We priced out a similarly configured 14-inch Lenovo ThinkPad Z series model and surpassed the $1,200 mark without including a dedicated graphics card (Lenovo doesn’t offer one on its Z series models). The Tecra A6-EZ6411 compares well with price leader Dell; you can spec out a nearly identical Dell Latitude D620 with the same Quadro card for the roughly same price. The bottom line: The Toshiba Tecra A6 is a well-designed business laptop that delivers good performance for the money and a host of business-friendly security features, but its glossy display will prove to be a deal breaker for many.”
