Overview

Toshiba Tecra M9L-12K

Editors rating
Rating: 7.5
Verdict

The Tecra M9L-12K is a nicely designed thin-and-light notebook whose fingerprint sensor will appeal to the security conscious. The lid section is a touch flimsy, and another USB port would be handy. The integrated graphics may be a bottleneck for some applications, too.

Typical price

£ 849

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
