With very similar components, the Toshiba Tecra A8 and M7 perform quite similarly. The M7's slightly higher battery capacity accounts for slight battery life differences between the two in MobileMark05 tests.

Based on our test results, the Tecra M7 Tablet PC has a better display by far than the A8. The Tablet PC is fairly easy to use in either tablet or laptop configuration, and switching between the two is very simple.

The A8 and M7 live up to the Tecra name from a construction point of view, both featuring good quality and sturdiness. The Tecra M7 is more expensive than the A8, but when you consider the additional functionality and display quality of the M7, it may well be worth spending extra dollars on Toshiba's M7 Tablet PC.
