Built to Spill

For the clumsy among us, Toshiba’s got your back with a spill-resistant keyboard. Just try to keep your coffee cup standing upright most of the time, OK?


Thin Is In

Riding in on the wave of ultrathin notebooks, the Tecra R940 and R960 don’t sacrifice toughness for size; the two models, with a 14-inch and 15.6-inch screen, are just 1 inch thin.


Processing Power

Performance hasn’t taken a backseat either—the notebooks feature third-generation Intel Core processors, AMD graphics and a 512GB solid-state drive.
