    gej everybody,
    does someone know more about Toshiba Tecra A5 model? is that robust made or just plastic case? :confused:
    I would really appreciate your answers, because it might help me to decide between a more expensive thinkpad r52 and this modell.
    Thanks!

    The Tecra A5 is a good business notebook, better than the IBM R52 IMO. It has a thinner, more sleek design as well.

    I've checked it, using good quality plastic, much better than Satellite series.But IBM R52 doesn't suffer keyboard flex like A5. It depends on your need, for me I am okay with A5's build quality.

    thanks for replaying to my previous thread, I was wondering if tecra A5 can handle well GIS applications and more or less heavy statistics(SAS, f eks.), does anyone have some experiences with that?
    thanks again
