The Tecra A4 was my first laptop purchase (although not the first I used), mainly because the prices of laptops always made me lean toward buying a desktop computer. Reasons for buying, options available, and purchase decision So I will try to make this review of the Tecra A4 as objective as I can (this decent machine does not deserve to be condemned a priori for this messy marketing), but I think you should be aware of this incident (more details below), both for reading my opinions under such a perspective, and to start wondering how prepared you are to invest your time or money, or both, in Toshiba. Particularly (but not exclusively) when they are trying to keep a big brand name in a very competitive market of business-oriented technology products.

You will not tolerate the man in your local groceries store telling you that you are buying apples and putting oranges in your bag (intentionally or because he does not know what he sells), so I think that Toshiba UK should be taking much more care when selling stuff of more than a thousand pounds.

In fact, you are not able to get written detailed product information from this model anywhere else than in that website even after you bought the laptop (not in the box, not in the manual, not in a pdf file, not in a single creased piece of paper) and even the general specs are sometimes contradictory or simply wrong. The people can be very helpful, as they have been with me, but there is not much that they can do to respond for this.

The problem is that if you cannot trust what it is published on the Toshiba website, are you still prepared to pay a lot of money by ordering over the phone and believing blindly that some ‘Joe’ or ‘Rabindra’? (that may be trying to answer you by looking at Toshiba website… Oh, dear! Another paradox!).

Many of the most important errors in the specifications have been corrected or deleted on the website by now, but you can still find several mistakes and differences between PDF brochures, product specifications webpage, and stickers and manuals on the machine. They are your best sources for current information and support”, so you may see that there is a paradox here, even when not considering that Toshiba also sells direct. When trying to get the true specs for the A4, I felt like a dog making circles trying to bite its tail.

But Toshiba’s manual says “Consult your dealer. Retailers and providers direct you to the Toshiba website for detailed specifications, and you trust that this is the most complete, sure, and updated place to look for them. So I guess you can call it false advertising, by intention or by negligence. If a company decides to market and sell something without having it or even knowing how it is going to be, or do not take care in providing enough specifications, then it is not just chance that is causing the mistakes.

My contact at Toshiba said these spec discrepancies were just a series of unfortunate communication mistakes, but were not intended to mislead or cheat anybody.

But how does one start a normal balanced review when, after almost two months of researching, asking, reading, and comparing the numerous options available, you finally get a laptop that’s different to what the maker told you that you were buying? And I am not talking about what someone at a home appliances store told me about a cheap no-brand computer, I am talking about what was published on the official Toshiba UK website for the brand-new business-oriented Toshiba Tecra A4 (PTA40E-01600VEN), that costs around 1,000 ($1,850). My goal here is to give a balanced review of the Toshiba Tecra A4 notebook computer.
