    Hi all,

    I'm looking to buy a r940, but there is hardly any information about it anywhere! Does anyone own one? The r840 is pretty similar too, from my understanding. I would love to hear any user experiences with that model as well. Thanks!

    Here's a thread on the r840 laptop. In the US [not sure where you are located] it goes by the branding of Tecra, which is a business class laptop.
    r840: http://forum.notebookreview.com/toshiba/630092-tecra-r840-first-impressions.html
    But yes, the r840 and r940 should be very similar, with the main difference being a different CPU.

    If your looking at a r940 and buying from Toshiba, there should be a screen upgrade to 1600x900 resolution for around $50. That would probably be my only thing I would recommend getting.


    Good luck
