The Tecra A8 featuring enhanced Toshiba EasyGuard technologies:


• HDD ProtectionThe increased size and thickness of the HDD dome protection means that the case is now 1.44 times stronger, resulting in 45 to 55% less HDD bending.*

• HDD Shock AbsorberEncased in rubber shock absorption material, the HDD is protected against shocks and vibrations

• 3D AccelerometerThe 3D Accelerometer detects when the notebook is suddenly moved or dropped and quickly parks the HDD in order to safeguard user data.

• FL-inverter ProtectionShock absorption material protects the FL-inverter against shock for optimal LCD performance.


*Compared to conventional comparable notebooks, e.g. the Tecra M1


• 70cm Drop TestAll four notebook sides (4x) have been drop-tested at 70 cm desk height and verified by TÜV.

• Shock ProtectorBumper mechanisms buffer the notebook against the shock caused by a drop or accidental fall.

• Spill-resistant KeyboardGives users enough time to save their data and shutdown the notebook in the event of an accidental spill.

• Serviceability50% fewer screws, resulting improved serviceability and easier upgrades. For instance, HDD removal now only requires 2 screws.

• Display Panel ProtectionThe edges of the display are protected by a durable metal plate and shock absorption material for greater durability.

• Display Casing ProtectionDisplay casing materials provide 2.5 times stronger protection and 40% less bending of the casing occurs for greater LCD panel protection and reduced risk of breakage.*

• Display HingesWith a 15 to 33% larger diameter, the notebook hinges are 3 times stronger for increased durability and reduced risk of breakage.*

• Keyboard ExperienceLaser measurements prove that 40% less bending occurs for enhanced keyboard usability and a more convenient typing experience.*

The Tecra A8 featuring improved product design features



• Motherboard DesignThe motherboard is 13% thicker and 50% stronger resulting in 50% less bending, which translates to fewer chip failures related to bending stress.*

• PCB (Printed Circuit Board) LayoutTo protect system components against the damaging effects of shocks, the motherboard is centered in the chassis.

• System ArchitectureImportant chip components are placed as far as possible from screws to minimise any warming effect on the screws and reduce as much as possible vibration of circuit boards.

• Chip ImplementationThe Ball Grid Array (BGA) chip on the system board is fixed by extremely strong glue for increased resistance against shock and vibration.

HALT is a combination of stress tests of

• extreme heat variation

• resistance to shocks

• repetitive vibration

to simulate heavy notebook usage

HALT enables the identification and isolation of possible quality issues during notebook development.

High level durability testingThe Tecra A8 design has been optimised using HALT

TestH A L THighly Accelerated Life


• HALT testing finds weak points on a notebook design, for correction and improvement

• Typical ‘need for improvements’ found:

• soldering weak points

• loose screws

• weak harness area

• weak connector joints

• bad components

High level durability testing

Leading to the design of a more dependable and durable notebook, the Tecra A8


Typical tests run during HALT:

• 10min under -25C and then 10min under +70C

High level durability testing

- 25° C

+ 70° C

• All this at 45G (pressure)

running 6 cycles back and forth

45G

• Six alternating cycles of this entire stress testing process are run to ensure that the notebook can withstand significant mobility challenges.
