Dynabook Europe GmbH has announced the latest addition to its Tecra range of laptops with the new A40-E.
A highly portable but highly connected and secure business laptop, the device has been specifically designed to meet the needs of the modern mobile worker. The product completes dynabook’s A-Series family, alongside the recently announced Portégé A30-E.
Weighing in at just 1.47kg and boasting up to 13.5 hours of battery life, the laptop comes with a Quick Charge feature giving 4 hours’ battery life from just 30 minutes’ charging. A 14-inch Full HD anti-glare display reduces workers’ eye strain and means performance is not impacted by variable lighting. The device boasts a highly robust chassis and has been tested under rigorous military-grade standards.
“The Tecra A40-E has been developed with all businesses in mind, no matter what their size or industry,” said Damian Jaume, president of Dynabook Europe GmbH. “The launch of this device demonstrates our commitment to innovate within the European business PC market and broaden our range of user-centric devices, following on from our company rebrand.”
Dynabook’s in-house built BIOS provides enterprise-grade security. This, alongside a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which stores data safely, gives further reassurance against data breaches. Two-factor authentication access also protects against unsolicited logins should the device be lost or stolen. A SecurePad with fingerprint reader is included as standard, with optional Smart Card reader and face recognition also available.
The A40-E boasts a USB Type-C port and, depending on configuration, one or two further USB 3.1 ports, along with Gigabit LAN, HDMI port, and micro-SD slot. An optional USB-C dock provides further connectivity options. The device’s Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 Wi-Fi Antenna configuration enables fast internet connection. Optional LTE also ensures internet is available to employees on the go.
The device is also equipped with an 8th generation Intel Core processor and a range of storage capabilities including three SSD options – 256GB, 512GB, 1TB PCIe.
The dynabook Tecra A40-E will be available in November 2019.
