This business laptop also features a full-size, backlit, spill-resistant keyboard along with complete collection of full-size ports, including HDMI®, two USB 3.2 Gen 1, microSD™ slot and Gigabit Ethernet to maximize productivity in the office and on the road.

With a battery life rating of up to 13 hours3, the Tecra A40 lasts beyond the typical workday on a single charge. Pricing for the Tecra A40-G starts at $399.99(MSRP).

This upgraded laptop includes a USB-C Port as well as optional integrated IR camera for face authentication and Synaptics® SecurePad™ with integrated fingerprint reader to enhance connectivity, productivity and system security.
