Rating of up to 13-Hours and Company’s New +Care Service℠ Warranty
IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#A40—Dynabook Americas, Inc. (formerly Toshiba America Client Solutions, Inc.), today announced a new Tecra® A40. The new thinner and lighter, 14-inch professional-grade Tecra A40 strikes the perfect balance between performance, portability and screen size. The laptop includes Dynabook’s recently announced +Care Service℠ warranty1.
“Our goal is to create thinner and lighter professional-grade laptops with the power and performance to elevate our customers’ ability to perform their jobs to their fullest and the Tecra A40 is a prime example of this mission,” said Philip Osako, vice president, marketing and engineering, Dynabook Americas, Inc. “Even in a smaller, compact form factor, the Tecra A40 maintains the quality and durability our laptops have become synonymous with over the years. To further the appeal of the Tecra A40, we have added our new +Care Service warranty to the laptop for additional peace of mind.”
Weighing in at a mere 3.24 pounds2 and measuring 19.9 mm thin, the new 14-percent thinner and 16-percent lighter Tecra A40 is the perfect size to take anywhere. Incorporating a textured, slip-resistant chassis, the Tecra A40 is designed to pass the US military (MIL-STD-810G) testing methodology for strength and durability to endure the day-to-day rigors of the modern professional.
+Care Service℠ warranty is Dynabook’s new, premier standard warranty designed to keep business moving forward. Offered on select Dynabook-branded laptops, +Care Service warranty is available for three-years on feature configurations and four-years on Build-to-Order models. In addition to multi-year warranties, Dynabook customers get access to the organization’s service and support network. This new standard warranty offers Technical Phone Support, Depot Repair, Carry-In, On-Site, and Customer Replaceable Parts. Dynabook +Care Service warranty helps businesses boost productivity, cut downtime and reduce IT costs.
Powered by an 8th generation Intel® Core™ Processor, the Tecra A40 delivers faster clock speeds and higher turbo frequencies – increasing performance and responsiveness over previous generation processors. Users can also expect powerful graphics capabilities from the processor to improve 3D graphics performance and ultra-high-resolution content encoding. In addition to the processor upgrade, the Tecra A40 also includes Windows 10 Pro, high-performance DDR4 memory and a high-speed SSD to handle the demands of modern computing.
With a battery life rating of up to 13 hours3, the Tecra A40 lasts beyond the typical workday on a single charge. When not in use, Sleep & Charge technology keeps a USB port powered, allowing the laptop to charge a smartphone and other accessories.
Housed in a compact form factor, the 14-inch, thin-bezel display of the Tecra A40 is available in either HD, Full HD or Full HD with touch delivering vibrant and clear image quality. This business laptop also features a full-size, backlit, spill-resistant keyboard along with complete collection of full-size ports, including HDMI®, two USB 3.2 Gen 1, microSD™ slot and Gigabit Ethernet to maximize productivity in the office and on the road.
Fortified with Dynabook’s proprietary BIOS and a variety of security options, including integrated IR facial recognition, fingerprint reader and smart card reader for multi-factor authentication, helps the Tecra A40 keep data safe from potential threats.
