Pros

Lightest 15-inch business laptop, Excellent keyboard, Fast Core i7 processor, Big battery yielded very good battery scores, A plethora of current connectivity technologies.
Stylish, thin, durable case; relatively lightweight; strong performance; decent graphics; long battery life; three-year warranty
Great CPU power and gaming experience, good battery life for a 15.6" laptop and looks slim and attractive (this ain't your grandma's Tecra!).

Cons

AMD graphics doesn't offer that big of a lift in graphics power, Pointing stick feels like sandpaper, Higher resolution would be nice.
Dull display; subpar keyboard; low-resolution Webcam
Keyboard lacks travel, no direct HDMI port.

The Tecra R850-11P is a worthy new member of Toshiba’s business range. We did not find any serious flaws with our review model, though it was also rather short of distinctive features. The notebook certainly has enough power to cope with office...

Like the smaller , the 15-inch Toshiba Tecra R850 is a stylish business notebook. It has a slim, yet sturdy, chassis and offers strong performance and very good endurance. However, the speakers don't impress, and $1,349 is a little on the high side....
