Toshiba Equium A210

Toshiba’s Equium A210 laptop is a business-oriented version of the Satellite Pro A210 and Satellite A210 laptops. While there are some minor hardware differences, most components are interchangeable between the three units and require a Phillips #1 Screwdriver to repair. The primary differences between the Equium are the software packages included at the time of purchase, drivers, and warranty coverage.

Before replacing components (e.g., memory chips, video cards, power supplies, etc.), check the specification sheets for additional information and the component labels to ensure the correct replacement is being used.

Toshiba discontinued production of laptops in 2020 and sold its stake in the PC business to Sharp. In turn, Sharp renamed the subsidiary division Dynabook. Hardware specification sheets, knowledge bases, and driver support/updates are available through Dynabook.com.

The Toshiba Equium A210 is an onyx-blue laptop consisting of a base with a flip-top monitor with a 15.4 inch (39.1 centimeter) viewable screen. The unit’s base has an integrated keyboard and mouse touchpad, USB ports, and CD-RW drive, measuring 14.3 inches (36.3 centimeters) wide by 10.5 inches (26.8 centimeters) deep, with a height 1.54 inches (3.9 centimeters) when closed. The unit’s weight is 6.1 pounds (2.8 kilograms). The unit requires an AC 120/230V (50/60 Hz) power adapter.

As part of the A210 series, the hardware components and virtually identical to the Satellite/Satellite Pro laptops, with the primary difference between the two platforms being warranty and software bundles. Some customization was possible, but the base unit was comparable to other A210 system models.
