Review

The Tecra A3X has a great price, and is lightweight, but in order to achieve both things there were many sacrifices made, as the graphics are integrated, and the battery only lasted around two hours, so the reviewer only gave it a 7 out of 10. I think for a few more dollars you could get a much better machine, even from Toshiba.
