6. The Satellite Pro A120 featuring enhanced Toshiba EasyGuard technologies:
HDD Shock Absorber Encased in rubber shock absorption material, the HDD is protected against shocks and vibrations
HDD Protection The increased size and thickness of the HDD dome protection means that the case is now 1.44 times stronger, resulting in 45 to 55% less HDD bending.*
3D Accelerometer The 3D Accelerometer detects when the notebook is suddenly moved or dropped and quickly parks the HDD in order to safeguard user data.
FL-inverter Protection Shock absorption material protects the FL-inverter against shock for optimal LCD performance.
*Compared to conventional comparable notebooks, e.g. the Tecra M1

7. The Satellite Pro A120 featuring enhanced Toshiba EasyGuard technologies:
Shock Protector Bumper mechanisms buffer the notebook against the shock caused by a drop or accidental fall.
70cm Drop Test All four notebook sides (4x) have been drop-tested at 70 cm desk height and verified by TÜV.
Spill-resistant Keyboard Gives users enough time to save their data and shutdown the notebook in the event of an accidental spill.
Serviceability 50% fewer screws, resulting improved serviceability and easier upgrades. For instance, HDD removal now only requires 2 screws.

9. The Satellite Pro A120 featuring improved product design features
Display Casing Protection Display casing materials provide 2.5 times stronger protection and 40% less bending of the casing occurs for greater LCD panel protection and reduced risk of breakage.*
Display Panel Protection The edges of the display are protected by a durable metal plate and shock absorption material for greater durability.
Display Hinges With a 15 to 33% larger diameter, the notebook hinges are 3 times stronger for increased durability and reduced risk of breakage.*
Keyboard Experience Laser measurements prove that 40% less bending occurs for enhanced keyboard usability and a more convenient typing experience.*
*Compared to conventional comparable notebooks, e.g. the Tecra M1

10. The Satellite Pro A120 featuring improved product design features
PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Layout
To protect system components against the damaging effects of shocks, the motherboard is centered in the chassis.
Motherboard Design The motherboard is 13% thicker and 50% stronger resulting in 50% less bending, which translates to fewer chip failures related to bending stress.*
System Architecture Important chip components are placed as far as possible from screws to minimise any warming effect on the screws and reduce as much as possible vibration of circuit boards.
Chip Implementation The Ball Grid Array (BGA) chip on the system board is fixed by extremely strong glue for increased resistance against shock and vibration.
*Compared to conventional comparable notebooks, e.g. the Tecra M1

12. High level durability testing The Satellite Pro A120 design has been optimised using HALT
Highly
Accelerated
Life
Test
HALT is a combination of stress tests of
extreme heat variation
resistance to shocks
repetitive vibration
to simulate heavy notebook usage
HALT enables the identification and isolation of possible quality issues during notebook development.

13. High level durability testing
HALT testing finds weak points on a notebook design, for correction and improvement
Typical ‘need for improvements’ found:
soldering weak points
loose screws
weak harness area
weak connector joints
bad components Ü
Leading to the design of a more dependable and durable notebook, the Satellite Pro A120

14. High level durability testing
+ 70° C
Typical tests run during HALT:
10min under -25C and then 10min under +70C
Six alternating cycles of this entire stress testing process are run to ensure that the notebook can withstand significant mobility challenges.
- 25° C
All this at 45G (pressure) running 6 cycles back and forth
