Toshiba Tecra M3-S331 Review

- Let's start with the good news about the Toshiba Tecra M3: When you don't need the DVD-ROM/CD-RW combination optical drive, you can swap it out for a plastic module to pare the laptop's weight to a svelte 4.6 pounds. This boxy black-and-silver unit with a 14.1-inch screen is well equipped for its size, including the new ExpressCard slot, an SD Card slot, and a good keyboard that produces pleasantly muffled clicks. A quick-launch button automatically switches to an external monitor, a handy feature for presenters.
