Toshiba Tecra Z40t-B Review

Toshiba Tecra Z40t-B Review
Welcome to a Biomedical Battery specialist of the Toshiba Laptop Battery
With a slightly improved keyboard, the Tecra Z40t-B would be a near-perfect work machine. As is, the 14-inch notebook offers almost everything workers could want, including solid security, stellar battery life and a reasonably portable design. I also love its vibrant display and speedy performance. So, does this $1,479 laptop have what it takes to stand up to top-tier work machines like Lenovo's ThinkPad T450s?
It's far from the lightest 14-inch laptop you'll find, but the Z40t is still sleek enough to be a decent travel companion. At 3.7 lbs., it's right in between the Lenovo ThinkPad T40s (3.8 lbs.) and the Dell Latitude E7450 (3.6 lbs.). The HP EliteBook 1040 G2 is significantly more portable than any of those systems, though, at just 3.32 lbs. Regardless, the Z40t won't weigh you down too much on your daily commute with batetry such as Toshiba PA3594U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3595U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3595U-1BRM Battery, Toshiba Satellite U300 Battery, Toshiba Tecra M8 Battery, Toshiba PA3615U-1BRM Battery, Toshiba PA3615U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PABAS115 Battery, Toshiba PA3589U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3609U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba Qosmio F45 Battery, Toshiba PABAS106 Battery.
The notebook's matte-silver paint job is understated and professional. I also like the subtle brushed-metal effect on the lid.
Workers will also appreciate the Z40t's durable construction. It's made from magnesium alloy, which feels almost as lightweight as plastic but is much tougher. The notebook's case is extremely rigid, which is a big perk if you plan to lug it around on business trips.
The Z40t is also outfitted with shock absorbers that protect the hard drive, display and other components from short drops and dings. Toshiba also says that the lid's hinge has been tested to maintain rigidity for five years or more, depending on your use.
The Z40t was also made to fend off moisture, with a spill-resistant keyboard that protects against splashes, and insulation that protects the internal circuitry from water damage.
A fingerprint scanner — embedded just below the Z40t's touchpad — provides a nice security boost, letting you unlock the notebook with a quick swipe of your finger. The scanner proved to be reliable during my testing time, accurately recognizing my prints each time I swiped. Setup is easy, and you can register up to 10 fingers at once.
The Z40t also comes equipped with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM 1.2) on its motherboard that keeps your data and passwords encrypted at the hardware level.
Brighter and more colorful than the screens on competing notebooks, the Z40t's display is one of its best assets. The 14-inch, full-HD (1920 x 1080-pixel) panel is a joy to work on.
Our tests showed that the Z40t display produces a wider range of the color gamut than competing notebooks like the Latitude E7450 and ThinkPad T450s. It's also the brightest of the bunch, which makes it easier to view outdoors or in direct sunlight. Plus, text looks nice and crisp.
Like most business-class notebooks, the Z40t comes with a matte finish on the display, which helps fend off annoying reflections from overhead office lights.
