Advantages: fantastic screen Disadvantages: keyboard is a bit bouncy, usbs in wrong place as laptop
...me the spec of a Toshiba Portege M200 that he was considering as his, much older, laptop can not run the applications that he now needs - What did I think?
Specification
------------------
Firstly the Portege M200 is a convertible Notebook/Tablet. You can use it like a normal notebook or you can revolve the screen round 180degrees, close it flat and pull the stylus out. You then have the device in "slate mode" where it is used without keyboard. ... ...the laptop showing how proud Toshiba are of this. However this sticker is not on straight (and I can see its crooked - then its really crooked). There's just no call for messing things up like that - where's the build quality in fixing a sticker on a slope.

This also takes advantage of the USB ports being on the rear of the ... ...The tablet is very light, and has a battery life of over 4 hours. This makes it ideal for walking around making notes in my work environment, as well as taking to meetings where its always a talking point. I've had no problems with the handwriting recognition, though a spare tablet pen would be nice! The keyboard feels oddly set out - it is robust enough, but after using a "normal" keyboard, I find it tricky to type on the tablet. The screen is very ...

Advantages: Overall quality, specification. Disadvantages: I cant think of any.
...is great layout, through practice toshiba have nailed it pretty well.
the battery life is impressive, toshiba have their own battery management software, you can let it do its job or tinker.
it changes amount of battery consumption compared to amount of batery left.
for example when you take out the adapter it will stop/slow down the fans and slow down the CPU.
so if you are a non intensive user it will last for quite a while but if you are a ... ...is a softwar app that toshiba bundles with it, 'symbol commander', when in tablet mode, or even laptop for that matter just hold down right mouse button, or the button on the pen and draw a symbol and it will run the program associated with it, cool, no?
you can designate which program you want or other stuff for it to do like maximise or minimise and close. it can type specific text for you aswell.
toshiba also bundle audio effect, a program that ...
