One of Toshiba's thinnest, lightest business laptops yet, the premium 35.6 cm (14") Tecra Z40-A matches ultra-portability with a long-lasting battery and larger screen that lets you do more on the go. Beneath the clean design that's standard across this line-up, the Z40-A is powered by Intel® Core™ processors, for all the speed and responsiveness you need. Its full-size ports are made for more flexible working too, while high-level security and manageability technologies and an ultra-durable chassis will protect your business data everywhere. For large-screen productivity that travels further, there's the Tecra Z40-A.

The Tecra Z40-A is ready to do business everywhere. Starting at an ultra-light 1.4 kg and highly robust, it's the perfect companion to take on your travels. Even without an extended battery, you get a long-lasting 10 hours on a single charge. And if you're out and about in direct sunlight, you won't see any glare on the 35.6 cm (14") non-reflective HD screen. So it's really convenient to type emails or create documents when you're working out of the office - even in dimly-lit conditions, using the illuminated keyboard.

With Intel® Core™ processors, the Z40-A has all the power you need to multi-task on the move. And with high-performance SSDs, HDDs or hybrid drives inside, the Tecra Z40-A offers plenty of storage, faster speeds and higher responsiveness from the second you boot-up to the minute you shut-down. There's no compromise, so you can run all of your business applications with ease.

The Tecra Z40-A is packed with mobile flexibility - and because all ports are full-size, you won't need any special adapters either. You can transfer data to other devices much faster, using three of the latest USB 3.0 ports. Or share your presentations in high-resolution brilliance, with HDMI. Gigabit LAN also allows fast access to your local network, while support for LTE gives you the freedom to work wirelessly. So you can be more productive anywhere. Connecting to your peripherals is fast and easy with the optional docking solution, which aligns with the other models in Toshiba's latest business line-up. The SD card slot boosts storage too.

The ultra-durable Tecra Z40-A was designed to withstand the pressures of professional life and meet Toshiba's quality standards. So it's passed the rigorous HALT (Highly Accelerated Lifestyle Test) assessment, which simulates 3 years of use. The independent German test institute, TÜV Rheinland® has also drop-tested this laptop up to 76 cm, and tested the keyboard for spill-resistance up to 30 ml. So even if you accidentally spill your drink, you have time to shut down and protect your data. With its light yet strong magnesium chassis, the Z40-A is highly durable too, so you can be sure of a better return on your investment.

The Z40-A is built for business, and comes loaded with tried-and-tested security and management features. There's the self-encrypted drives and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to safeguard the critical data on your local storage. And even if your Z40-A needs to be updated, the IT department can do it at any time, with Intel Active Management Technology (AMT). The fingerprint reader makes it easy and secure to log on to your PC too, while the 3D sensor knows to take care of your data if your laptop falls.

Toshiba is constantly improving its models to help meet more of your business needs. So we've added silent cooling and better speakers to the Z40-A to enhance the performance and make it more user-friendly. With a HD screen and improved backlit keyboard, plus larger Accupoint and touchpad, it's easier to view and navigate your laptop too.

The Tecra Z40-A shares many features with the latest business line-up from Toshiba, to ensure consistency across your company - no matter which models you choose. So you can easily access all of your peripherals using a wide range of ports, with the common docking station. The Z40-A also comes with dongle-free connectivity in the form of HDMI, RGB, Gigabit LAN and three USB 3.0 ports for added convenience and flexibility. All Toshiba business laptops share the same software image, for easy customisation in one go. Plus, the fingerprint reader, non-CSV display, webcam, magnesium chassis, Accupoint and docking connector all come as standard too.
