Toshiba Tecras are known for their performance and functionality. Toshiba has released more siblings into this already stunning family - the Tecra A10. These new models are powerful enough to be compared to desktops, yet they are not. These laptops are perfect for either business or personal use, great for wireless connectivity, and perfect for those who travel. The combination of performance, functionality, and bonus features provides consumers with a phenomenal experience.

When it comes to mid-range laptops, the Tecra A10 is comparative in size and price but above par with everything else. With measurements of 13 x 10.4 x 1.5-inches, and a weight of 6.2-pounds, there is no significant physical difference between this model and other laptops. MSRP is around $1,300, which is also directly competes with competitors. The Tecra A10 also offers a 15.4-inch widescreen monitor for pleasurable viewing experiences.

With an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 200GB HDD 7,200 rpm, and 4GM DDR2 SDRAM, the Tecra A10 offers performance like no other laptop. This - alone - is what rates this laptop at desktop speeds. For a laptop - and one that is not a gaming PC - the graphics card is pretty remarkable. It has an nVidia quadro FX graphics card with 256 MB of video RAM. Additionally, the laptop ships with Windows Vista Business 32/64-bit. (Media is shipped with the Tecra A10 to move to windows XP professional if you so desire.)

Bluetooth connectivity has become increasingly popular, and it is available on the Tecra A10. This allows consumers to connect, from the new Tecra A10, directly to other Bluetooth devices like cell phones. Other wireless options are also available: IEEE 802.11 n (draft), IEEE 802.11g,?IEEE 802.11b; therefore, you are not limited when it comes to connection options.

USB 2.0 ports allow for pretty fast transfer rates; however, ESATA ports offer consumers an ever faster transfer rate. The Tecra A10 offers consumers this functionality, along with being Energy Star compliant due to its integrated power management features.

Other features, like a built-in webcam, microphone, and USB Sleep-and-Charge, give consumers the flexibility they need with a laptop. While traveling, take advantage of the Sleep-and-Charge by charging your USB devices, even if the computer is powered down. The combination of webcam and microphone allow you to have face-to-face conversations with co-workers, friends, and family from nearly anywhere.

The Tecra A10 is durable with the combination of its overall design and Toshibas 4th-Gen EasyGuard Technology. EasyGuard protects your computer physically and provides extra security for your internal data. The fingerprint reader allows you to log in much quicker and easier, and - like EasyGuard - provides even more secured data.

The Tecra A10 provides consumers with a great laptop but there is a slight flaw. The default battery will not hold a charge near as long as many other laptop batteries do - be prepared.

When it comes to laptops, many of them appear to be the same. Some of the only differences are price and processor. The Tecra A10; however, does stand a bit above the crowd. As a matter-of-fact, it is more comparable to a desktop computer with its high quality performance. Regardless, the Tecra A10 is a great laptop, and it will exceed the expectations of many consumers.

The best part of owning a computer is the wealth of information and software available to run on it. However, that doesn't mean that all software is good or all information is helpful. I have put together this guide for you to make life easier on your PC. This doesn't mean that your computer will run perfect but it will probably run a lot better than if it didn't have the software on it.

1. Mozilla Firefox - Mozilla is a fantastic browser. If you're using Firefox you don't know what you're missing. It is absolutely the best browser available today. Did I mention it's free? What else do you need?

2. Spybot Search and Destroy - this software gets rid of adware, spyware, and other junky software. Spybot blocks the installation of spyware before it occurs; this is not a replacement for antivirus software. It's just a way to make your overall computer more secure.

3. AVG Antvirus - offers basic antivirus protection including scanning email attachments for viruses and scanning of all hard drives, removable drives, and external drives on your computer. A paid version does some additional tasks and includes technical support.

4. Zone Alarm - if you're on the Internet your computer needs a firewall. Newer versions of Windows do come with a firewall, but it is not what some would consider completely adequate. If you don't have a firewall installed, you should really try the software. Even if you do have a firewall, it might be good enough.

5. Notepad++ - the notepad that comes with your computer does read text files, but that's about all it does. If you are a programmer or even someone who just wants to get more out of your notepad text editor, Notepad++ is for you.

6. OpenOffice.org - working with Microsoft Office documents no longer meanst that you have to buy a copy of Microsoft Office, Word, Excel or Powerpoint. OpenOffice.org works with all of the popular Microsoft formats as well as the newly popular Open Document formats.

As with many freeware programs, "pro" or professional versions of the software are sometimes available to give computer users a maximum amount of protection, for a price. Still, all four of these programs have something to offer and are worth exploring. Your computer safety and privacy is essential, insure it today by downloading the programs that are right for you.

If you're looking to get a new computer, why not consider buying a laptop? If you're used to using desktop computers, you might wonder what all the fuss is about laptops. After all, a desktop is cheaper, faster, and an over all better value for the money. Why choose a laptop?

Of course, the best reason to get a laptop is portability. Unless you're used to it, you're probably not aware of how awesome it really is to be able to compute anywhere you want. Under a tree in the park, at a coffee shop, it doesn't matter. Laptops give you the amazing benefits of working anywhere.

In fact, many find this ability to take their work on the road addicting. There is nothing like the feeling of getting work done in your favorite coffee shop to make you approach the "working nomad" lifestyle of a laptop user.

For the real "power users," an average notebook might not cut it. If you're doing a lot of graphics and video work, you might want to look into a so called "desktop replacement" laptop. These provide all the power needed to get serious work done, albeit at a large size and heavy weight.

Now, if you're into image editing, video encoding, or any other high performance task, you're going to need a little more power. For people like you, there are so called "desktop replacement" laptops. Using one of these heavy, bulky laptops will still allow you to get your work done on the go, but at a noticeable weight penalty.

If you want to save some money with your laptop, try going used. A used notebook is a great way to save.. Since laptops often loose value fast, you can score some great deals by checking into used versions.

If you're the creative type, you might be interested in getting a tablet PC. These allow you to write directly on the screening, creating an entirely new, unique computing experience. If you're going to be doing graphics work or taking notes, you should give these a good look.

As you can see, laptops offer some unique advantages over desktops. Sure, you're paying more for less power, but for a lot of users, the portability of the laptop really is worth it. Be sure to consider one as you shop for your new computer.
