Dynabook Americas, Inc., formerly Toshiba PC Company, today announced that it has refreshed its performance-rich 14-inch Tecra® A40-K and 15-inch Tecra® A50-K laptops to benefit from new hybrid-architecture 12th Gen Intel® Core™ P-Series 28W processor options and Windows 11 Pro.
“With more than 35 years of experience creating powerful, feature rich laptops for businesses, our engineers take the time to truly understand the computing pain points faced by professionals, as well as what they need and want in their laptops,” said James Robbins, general manager, Dynabook Americas, Inc. “While productivity and portability remain top priorities, we’ve paid extra attention to making our Tecra laptops feel premium while maximizing their performance, durability and available features without compromising price competitiveness.”
Getting Down to Business
From the corner office to the local café, the 14-inch Tecra A40-K is a performance-rich laptop for today’s work-from-anywhere professionals. Measuring just 18.9mm thin, this laptop delivers a productivity-maximizing workspace with a vibrant 14-inch narrow-bezel display, webcam with privacy shutter, backlit keyboard, and large ClickPad with optional fingerprint reader.
Offering next-level productivity with matching speed, and style, the 15-inch Tecra A50-K from Dynabook makes any place a productive workspace. Designed for the modern hybrid workplace, this laptop features a 19.9mm thin chassis that houses an expansive 15.6-inch thin-bezel display, full-size backlit keyboard with 10-key, large ClickPad with optional fingerprint reader and webcam with privacy shutter.
Faster and More Efficient Than Ever
Delivering unprecedented speed and efficiency, these laptops are configurable with new hybrid architecture 12th Gen Intel® Core™ P-Series i5 and i7 processors, optional Intel® Iris® Xe graphics and up to 64GB of memory. Intel® graphics ensures crisp and smooth video performance and support for up to four external 4K displays.
Both Tecra laptops feature Wi-Fi 6E and Thunderbolt™ 4, making wired and wireless connections faster than ever. Additionally, full-size HDMI®, Gigabit LAN, 3.5mm audio and USB-A ports, as well as a microSD™ card slot provide convenient, adapter-free expansion.
A Smarter Chassis Design
The stylish, thin, and lightweight chassis of both laptops feature an attractive Mystic Blue coating with an EPA-approved antimicrobial paint additive called IONPURE® IPL, allowing it to not only stand out from a sea of monochromatic competitors, but also helps inhibit the growth of bacteria1. Both laptops are designed to pass MIL-STD-810H testing standards for strength and durability and allow professionals to easily go from the office to the field and anywhere in between with confidence.
Windows of Opportunity
The Tecra A40-K and Tecra A50-K can be pre-configured with Windows 11 Pro, which provides enhanced productivity features that deliver users a more personalized and intuitive user experience than previous generations of the operating system. Built on the consistent and compatible Windows 10 foundation, Windows 11 can be managed with familiar tools and processes, making it a natural upgrade path for any PC user. For businesses that haven’t yet migrated, these laptops can also be ordered with Windows 10 Pro and are eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 11 Pro when ready.
Secure and Manageable for Both IT Manager and Worker Among the most secure laptops in the world, both Tecra models meet Microsoft’s strict Secured-core PC requirements and address the security and manageability challenges posed by the accelerated shift towards flexible working patterns. Dynabook’s proprietary BIOS offers another extensive security layer to mitigate BIOS-level security threats, while numerous integrated features like Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0, enterprise-grade encryption and optional Windows Hello fingerprint and face authentication provide unrelenting protection against data, device and identity threats.
Even with a dispersed workforce, IT departments can support and manage these premium devices featuring 12th Gen Intel® Core™ vPro® processors through intelligent manageability capabilities.

Monolith, the premium audio brand from Monoprice, today announced it is doubling down on its THXⓇ Certified subwoofer offerings. Specifically, Monolith has added new M-210 dual 10- and M-212 12-inch powered subwoofers to its growing line of premium performance, THX Certified home theater solutions. Designed to amplify the entertainment experience in rooms up to 3,000 cubic feet, these two new bass towers have been exhaustively tested by THX audio engineers to ensure they meet or exceed a high-performance standard set by THX, reaching THX Reference Levels without added distortion or artifacts.
“No two rooms are the same, so when it comes to maximizing bass output Monolith has solutions to fit everyone’s needs,” said Hobie Sechrest, Monolith Business Unit Manager, Monoprice. “With the same footprint as our single woofer system, these dual sub towers pack double the woofers, double the cone surface area, and double the power, making them ideal for customers who want two subwoofers but don’t have the floor space for them.”
Refined Drivers Designed for Uncompromising Performance:
Redesigned from the ground up and customized to deliver maximum output, low distortion, and incredibly accurate bass, these new 10- and 12-inch, high-excursion woofers were uniquely engineered to achieve incredible efficiency and accuracy while easily handling tons of power. The hybrid cone combines the superior stiffness of long-fiber pulp with the additional rigidity and lightweight properties of fiberglass to deliver a driver capable of more than 90mm of peak-to-peak excursion.
Powerful DSP Tuned Class D Amplifiers:
Driving the two woofers (for M-210 and M-212) is a powerful, 1,000-watt (RMS)/1,800-watt (peak) Class-D amplifier featuring a 48-bit Texas Instruments® digital signal processor (DSP). This DSP allows Monolith further refinement of system performance to deliver precise, flat bass response in-room down to 16Hz and maintain that accuracy at peak output with minimal added distortion and artifacts. Each Class D amplifier’s DSP engine allows virtually unlimited design flexibility with the assurance of no signal degradation. The amplifier’s transfer function, power output limiting, and thermal protection are monitored to the millisecond with customization for each individual woofer and cabinet air volume combination.
A Stylish and Durable Enclosure:
On the outside, these dual subwoofer towers feature a premium, simulated black ash cabinet that is composed of internally reinforced and braced, high-density fiberboard to create a sonically inert enclosure that won’t vibrate or add unwanted resonance when pushed hard. A large rectangular port at the bottom maximizes sound pressure levels at low frequencies, and the included foam plug can be used to run these subwoofers in sealed mode. Finishing the subwoofer enclosure off is a carbon-colored fabric cover that maximizes airflowaround the woofers and ports.
As with all Monolith THX Certified home theater solutions, these new subwoofers are backed by a 5-year replacement warranty, and a 30-day no-questions-asked return policy.
