<h2 id="history">History</h2> <h3>Origin</h3> <p>The first Tecra <a href="/facts/Laptop/3EFwTAb2">notebook</a> models were released in 1996, including the Tecra 500CS and the Tecra 500CDT. Both <a href="/facts/Laptop/3EFwTAb2">notebook</a> models had the same design and featured similar hardware specification. The Tecra laptops built in 1996 dimensions of 299 mm × 235 mm × 58 mm, with a weight of 3.4 kg with integrated AC adaptor. The lithium-lon <a href="/facts/Battery_(electricity)/bqEpm4ue">battery</a> (not used in <a href="/facts/Toshiba_Satellite/PNBRrJjK">Satellite</a> notebooks before 1997) offered a standard productivity up to two hours. The original designers of the Tecra were two engineers working at Netel communications. Kenneth Rolls and Kenneth Bailey. The original release of the Tecra was to the engineers of Nextel communications, to improve workflow and speed. Mostly used for process of cellular data. Then released to general public. </p><p><a href="/facts/Toshiba/QHRaw8Tr">Toshiba</a> marketed both 500CS and 500CDT as fast notebooks that feature information highway with no speed limits. Toshiba included in Tecra 500CS and Tecra 500CDT important hardware features for 1996, including Intel Pentium SL Enh (120 MHz), standard <a href="/facts/Main_memory/wPHKFpdx">main memory</a> of 16 MB EDO <a href="/facts/RAM/DuD4bxh6">RAM</a> expandable to 144 MB EDO <a href="/facts/RAM/DuD4bxh6">RAM</a>, a <a href="/facts/Hard_drive/kekLSGSE">hard drive</a> of 1.350 million bytes, both <a href="/facts/Floppy_disk/rShxfuxa">floppy disk</a> and <a href="/facts/CD-ROM/JwuaYLJv">CD-ROM</a> drive (optional), two CardBus, Desk Station V Plus <a href="/facts/PCI_bus/n6CGuFvP">PCI bus</a>, Card Station II, <a href="/facts/PCI_bus/n6CGuFvP">PCI bus</a>, and ZV Port. However, the Tecra 500CS had a 12.1 inches <a href="/facts/Super-twisted_nematic_display/TtyFD1JM">STN</a> <a href="/facts/LCD/8B6xGBEz">LCD</a> color <a href="/facts/Display_device/yX1Mypk0">display</a> with a <a href="/facts/Display_resolution/8LQTWvl3">resolution</a> of 800 × 600 pixels, while the Tecra 500CDT has a 12.1 inches <a href="/facts/TFT_LCD/4Y8CbuLX">TFT</a> <a href="/facts/LCD/8B6xGBEz">LCD</a> color display with the 800 × 600 pixels resolution. </p><p>By September 2000 <a href="/facts/Toshiba/QHRaw8Tr">Toshiba</a> implemented a common platform philosophy which delivered the investment protection that IT decision makers demanded. The Tecra 8100 <a href="/facts/Laptop/3EFwTAb2">notebook</a> reduced long term Total Costs of Ownership. Toshiba offered the Tecra 8100 with four different <a href="/facts/Central_processing_unit/Jxp1bqMV">processor</a> speeds (<a href="/facts/Pentium_III/sV1v2Frq">Pentium III</a> 500 MHz, Pentium III 600 MHz, Pentium III 650 MHz, and <a href="/facts/Pentium_III/sV1v2Frq">Pentium III</a> 700 MHz). The basic configuration was also available in two diagonal display, 13.3 inches and 14.1 inches. The Tecra 8100 also included a <a href="/facts/Floppy_disk/rShxfuxa">floppy disk</a>, <a href="/facts/CD-ROM/JwuaYLJv">CD-ROM</a> drive or <a href="/facts/DVD-ROM/7fJsHJrN">DVD-ROM</a> drive, S3 Savage MX <a href="/facts/Graphic_adapter/bcKfPyFt">graphic adapter</a>, two PC Card Type II or one PC Card Type III, Card Bus support, memory expansion slot, SelectBay modules, and Lithium-Ion <a href="/facts/Battery_(electricity)/bqEpm4ue">battery</a> (with an autonomy up to four hours). By 2000 Toshiba was adding special features to Tecra <a href="/facts/Laptop/3EFwTAb2">notebook</a> models, such as Toshiba Hibernation and Resume, Toshiba Power Extensions, SecureSleep, Wake-On-LAN and Service Boot, and System Password Security. </p> <h3>Sharp era</h3> <h2 id="portfolio">Portfolio</h2> <p><a href="/facts/Toshiba/QHRaw8Tr">Toshiba</a> is updating the Tecra series by upgrading older models or launching new notebooks, such as Tecra A11. Depending on the location there are currently three notebooks in the Tecra series. Toshiba implemented two latest upgrades in the current Tecra series. The first upgrade regards the <a href="/facts/Operating_system/8XTuvMh2">operating system</a>. Recent Tecra notebooks are shipped with <a href="/facts/Windows_7/tldLdbnX">Windows 7</a> <a href="/facts/Operating_system/8XTuvMh2">operating system</a>, while the second upgrade regards the 2010 <a href="/facts/Intel_Core/lwa8VSdT">Intel Core</a> <a href="/facts/Central_processing_unit/Jxp1bqMV">processor</a> Family, which includes faster processors that deliver higher performances with <a href="/facts/Intel_Turbo_Boost/W9I2PUcg">Intel Turbo Boost</a> technology and <a href="/facts/Hyper-threading/hjqGgK8V">Intel Hyper Threading</a> technology (available in three performance levels). Toshiba included in the Tecra series features for protection such as PC Health Monitor. Other Tecra <a href="/facts/Laptop/3EFwTAb2">laptop</a> features are <a href="/facts/ESATAp/ek2BT2jt">eSATAp</a> Sleep-and-Charge combo port, and fingerprint reader for a better security. Furthermore, the Tecra series includes notebooks with either 14.1 inches diagonal <a href="/facts/Display_device/yX1Mypk0">display</a> or 15.6 high resolution diagonal <a href="/facts/Widescreen/SpJ8gcnV">widescreen</a>. Some current Tecra <a href="/facts/Laptop/3EFwTAb2">notebook</a> models have durable texture finish with chrome buttons. </p> <h2 id="models">Models</h2> <h3>Current products</h3> <p>Depending on the location, the Tecra series includes: </p> <ul><li>Tecra A50</li> <li>Tecra W50</li> <li>Tecra Z40</li> <li>Tecra Z50</li></ul> <h3>Previous products</h3> <ul><li>Tecra A11</li> <li>Tecra R10</li> <li>Tecra R940</li> <li>Tecra R950</li> <li>Tecra R850</li> <li>Tecra R840 -
