PCAuthority has the goods on Toshiba's entry in to the ultra low cost space - a prototype handheld touch device sporting a 5.6" screen, running Vista on an Intel Atom processor. Looks like a UMPC / Origami to me. Strangely, Toshiba had this to say about the device: "We don't think this [prototype] is commercially viable, it's too small," said Toshiba's Mark Whittard. "Having said that, we will have a ULPC soon." With price no longer an advantage in the ultra low-cost notebook space, Whittard said Toshiba is looking for other ways to stand out from the crowd - hence the prototype. UPDATE: I'm losing my mind as I'm getting older. James Kendrick reminded me that this was a device we saw at CES 2008. I'm not sure what has changed spec wise since then.

Toshiba has been in the Tablet PC space from the very beginning, coming to market with the Portege 3500 in November 2002, quickly updating it to the M200 / M205. Since that time, they have introduced various configurations and form factors, targeted at the consumer and the business person. Their current Tablet PC offering is the M700, introduced late last year, and the R400, introduced in January 2007. In my opinion, because Toshiba was a major player in the space from the very beginning, they have been well positioned to tablet-enable their entire line of laptops, but have chosen not to. Instead of taking Tablet broad, they have chosen to keep it as a single option amongst their entire line. For the life of me, I can't figure out why their ultra-light R500 has never been converted into a Tablet PC - it begs for it. I used to be a very happy Toshiba customer and seriously considered the M700 when it was announced. It is a powerhouse of a unit and would make any power-hungry user happy. For the money, the M700 is also one of the better buys out there compared to their competition. However, the bulk and weight of the unit ultimately turned me off, opting instead of thin and light. What specific things is Toshiba doing right? If you used to be a Toshiba customer, but have since switched, what were the tipping points? What could Toshiba do to make their solutions more mobile friendly? If you had the opportunity to sit down with their product designers, what would you want to talk with them about? What have been your experiences with their customer service and warranty departments?

The size of Solid State Drives (SSDs) keeps marching upwards and we hope the price keeps coming down. Toshiba is about to roll out its 128GB models this summer but is now talking about improvments in their manufacturing that will lead to 512GB SSDs in 2009. Those same improvements should lead to price reductions as well. According to this article from Electonista several other companies are looking at bringing 256GB size SSDs to market by the end of the year.
So here’s a question. What’s the price value point for you? Right now SSDs add a pretty stiff price premium to any Tablet PC or mobile computer you might buy. How does that figure into your decision. I know Rob loves SSDs and swears he won’t go back to a spinning hard drive. What about you?

This past week proved to be quite the test for how well the Latitude XT was going to hold up to some rigorous mobile usage. I'm pleased to say that it held up quite well and is still proving to be a great Tablet PC. Here are some notes from using it during the MVP summit the past week: - Many of Microsoft's Tablet PC folks were using the LED version of the Latitude XT. There is a clear difference in thickness and weight between the LED and DLV version. The LED is significantly lighter and thinner. In hindsight, I probably should have purchased the LED version. I dont' think the added viewability was worth the extra weight and thickness.
- The battery life held up pretty well - about 2.5 - 3 hours using Dell's Recommended profile. Under Power Saver, I was getting 4+ hours. I was getting 7 + hours on the extended battery using the Recommended profile. Because of the added weight and thickness, though, I hardly ever used the extended battery.
- The replacement screen has proven to be a very good thing. I hardly ever notice the grid.
- I had my pen replaced due to some accidental discharges when in hover mode. The new pen is working like a charm
- The only bad angle on the DLV screen is when viewed under the Dell logo.
- I only carried the Tom Bihn Ristretto Messenger bag all week. Along with the power adapter, some pouches for my wallet and cables, my phone, the extended battery, and the Latitude XT, I had everything I needed. It is amazing how much can fit in that small bag. Stay tuned for an InkShow on the Ristretto - it is a very, very nice bag and a great solution for the the Latitude XT.
- The low profile 45 watt adapter for the XT is the best mobile ac adapter I've ever used. It is light and takes up very little space in a bag
- Inking and touching continues to be a great experience on the Latitude XT. I'm still using Auto Mode and prefer it as the default touch setting.
- With the great touch experience, I'm learning to use the flick gestures a lot more. I found myself in portrait mode a lot more than usual this past week, and the flick gestures worked great. They could still use some interactive feedback improvement, but are often a much-overlooked feature of Vista.
- Getting the N-Trig / OneNote bug fixed was a very good thing. It helped a lot with my notetaking during meetings. However, I found myself in InkSeine, EverNote, and OneNote periodically throughout the week. My favorite notetaking destination when portrait: InkSeine. My favorite when in landscape: EverNote.
- Keyboarding on the XT is very nice. Not quite as good of an experience as the Lenovo X61, but still quite good.
- When using an SD card in the XT, the card sticks out much further than other tablets I've used, and is prone to accidentally eject when the tablet is placed in a bag with the card still inserted. Other tablets have the card seated flush with the casing, which I prefer.
- I love having USB ports on all three sides of the XT. This allows me to use my EV-DO modem to accommodate any direction I'm holding the Tablet. That flexibility is a huge plus for mobile tablet users.
- Rotating between landscape and portrait is very, very quick. It isn't instant, but it is the quickest rotation I've used on any tablet pc.
- The experience is the smoothest and least troublesome I've used yet. I have yet to experience one of those well known Vista docking / monitor issues. In addition, I have no trouble going in to sleep mode after docking. Like I said, it is smooth, trouble-free, and it just works.
- I have found the pen to be comfortable to write with, and well balanced.
- There are no accidental discharges with this pen, which I really like. HP's 2710p pen is prone to accidental discharge all the time.
- I miss the eraser head on the pen. I think Dell should make that a priority enhancement for current and future XT's. It is just natural to have an eraser head on pens, they are standard on almost all other pens, and Dell's should have one, too.
- I absolutely love the page scroll buttons on the side of the screen. It is the perfect location for web browsing while in portrait mode. Getting a chance to play with the 2710p again this week made me really appreciate the Latitude XT on screen buttons and page scroller on the side of the tablet. Well done.
- Picking up on a comment from my meeting with Ken Hinckley, I'd love to see Dell place some more buttons on the top left and right of the screen. This would allow someone to assign Ctrl actions to the buttons to use while also inking with the other hand in portrait mode - dual hand mode support!
Even with all the above notes on well the Latitude XT is working out for me and how much I appreciate the way Dell designed the XT, I have not found a compelling reason to tell people why they should spend the extra money for a Latitude XT over say HP's 2710p, HP's TX2051z, Fujitsu's T2010, Toshiba's M700, Lenovo's X61, and others. Sure, there are many areas in which the experience is as good or better. For what I do and the areas I'm interested in testing from a natural input perspective, the Latitude XT represents a good purchase for me. However, for monetary reasons vs features / benefits, a person would be wise to look at other choices until Dell brings the price more inline with their competitors. The price needs to be inline with HP's 2710p for me to recommend it to anyone, even with the additional features and touch enhancements. My thoughts on the above alternative choices: - Most bang-for-the-buck performance Tablet PC: Toshiba M700
- Best slate-like convertible Tablet PC: HP 2710p.
- Best over-all convertible Tablet PC for the business user: Lenovo X61.
- Best media-centric Tablet PC: HP tx2051z

While the Toshiba Portégé M700 is certainly not a new release, PC Magazine is apparently just getting around to doing a full review. PC Mag has a new "GreenTech" stamp of approval for computers that have a lower impact on the environment, and the M700 has been "GreenTech Approved." Interestingly, the author, Cisco Cheng, appears to actually like Tablet PCs. He also reviewed the HP 2710p, the Lenovo X61, and others, and appears to like the idea of pen computing, particularly given the advances in Vista. Slowly but surely Tablet PCs are getting some of the respect that they deserve.  You can read the full review on the PC Mag site, which includes an array of test scores.

Don't get me wrong - I like the x61 eval I've been using, but sometimes I really wish I could have kept that Toshiba M700 I had for a few days.... Why do you say?? Check out the image below, and make sure to note the last line and the time! 1.6 (Lenovo) vs. 2.4 (M700) = I might be able to get this done faster. That's why I want an M700, it's taken me over 20 hours of the processor running at 100% on the Lenovo to get this done. With the M700 and the 2.4 ghz dual core, this would have taken less time to complete. Click image for larger view

Trusted Reviews has their hands on an Toshiba M700 Tablet PC. The review takes a good walk thru over the whole device inside and out. What makes this review a better read - the fact that it's done by somebody that isn't really 'into' Tablet PC's and they are the ones that have their hands on it. The first paragraph tells the story of their thoughts on Tablet PC's... I've never been completely convinced by the Tablet PC concept. It may look good in medical dramas and sci-fi shows when characters busily tap away at tablet devices, but you have to remember one thing about that - they're not doing anything! If you've ever actually tried to control a PC in portrait tablet mode you'll be well aware that it's far from a simple procedure. The other issue I have is that Tablet PCs aren't particularly light either, so if you're planning to spend your entire day wandering around work holding one like a clipboard, you might want to put some time in at the gym first. It's therefore with some trepidation that I'm looking at the Portégé M700 - Toshiba's latest thin and light Tablet notebook Head over to Trusted Reviews and check out the whole review.

Notebook Review has posted an interview with Todd Smith, Director of Product Marketing for Toshiba of Canada. Nice interview and there was also a little tid-bit of information concerning MIDs and UMPC's. Read the full interview over on the Notebook Review site. On the subject of Ultra Mobile PCs: Andrew asks: What are your thoughts on this new push for budget $300 / $400 laptops such as the Asus Eee PC and Everex Cloudbook, will Toshiba start competing here? A: That's a great question. We strive to be a leader in providing the latest and greatest technology. If we find the market to be moving towards this trend, then we will find a way to provide these laptops to our customers. He also asks: What about the UMPC form factor, Toshiba was one of the first ever companies to produce laptops and then Tablet PCs, why didn't they push the envelope here too? A: We actually created a UMPC form factor as demonstrated at CES 2008 but no decisions have been made on when this will be available to the public. Stay tuned! Stay Tuned?? Let's hope it's soon! The more players the better! Technorati Tags: UMPC, Toshiba

 Over the last week I had the pleasure of having the new Toshiba M700 Tablet PC. In the past I have owned 2 Toshiba Tablet PC's. My first Tablet PC was the Toshiba M4, I purchased that because of the dedicated graphics card of 128 meg, it was the best on the block back then. The next Toshiba I owned was the M400 - another powerhouse but without the dedicated graphics. I was very happy with the M400 and would probably have it still today if it wasn't for the long term eval I currently use. I'd like to give Toshiba a big thanks for sending us this unit for our hands on look and review! The Toshiba M700 Tablet PC keeps that 'powerhouse' feeling alive. With the ability to have up to a 2.6 Core 2 Duo processor, this thing will scream! The only thing missing is the dedicated graphics card, but that isn't common in any Tablet PC these days... Join me as I take in the M700 in this InkShow. I first start out by looking over the outside of the unit, then the keyboard and scree, the latch/swivel mechanism and then look at the screen and the inking. Enjoy the 26 minute look at the Toshiba M700 Tablet PC with me in 2 different ways 1. Click the embedded link on this page 2. Download the video right to your machine (187meg download)

I have been involved in some conversations over on Tablet PC Reviews about the Toshiba M700 benchmarks. Tiffany posted up some results that didn't look very good for the specs of the machine. I have the same machine and my results were very similar to hers: PC Mark 05: 3,399 Not so good for that machine Compare that to the others tested (Direct copy and past from Tablet PC Review and shortened a little) -
Toshiba Portege M700 (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz, GMA 965 chipset) 3,399 PCMarks -
HP tx2000 (AMD Turion 64 X2 2.3GHz, Nvidia Go 6150 graphics) 3,738 PCMarks -
Asus R1E (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz, GMA 965 chipset) 4,679 PCMarks -
Gateway C-140x (Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz, ATI X2300 HD graphics) 4,342 PCMarks -

Just a few quick thoughts about the M700 over the past few days... -
FAST - wonder what it would be like with a 7200 RPM drive?? -
Feels very light - If you didn't see the unboxing, I didn't think the battery was in the unit when I pulled it out the the box -
Lots of crapware installed on it from the factory -
I like the keyboard, with my bigger hands, it doesn't seem as small as the x61 keyboard -
Screen is crisp, doesn't seem as 'grainy' as the other Toshiba's I have had in the past (M400, M4) -
Writing on the screen feels good - like paper, not glossy -
Battery is lasting for a good amount of time - I haven't been able to do any real tests, but I was on it for over 3 hours last night in 'balanced' mode and still had juice left - surfing, feed reading, e-mailing and reading a PDF for quite a while. -
Resolution is OK and I would like it for a daily computer, but give me a high res option and I would be in love :) -
I don't like the Firewire on the front of the machine - but it's better to have Firewire than not have it at all though -
I like that it has the wheel on the front for the volume, it comes in very handy -
Webcam works great - very clear, Skype and MSN have worked well with it -
This is the first widescreen Tablet PC I have played with for any length of time. I really like the unit in tablet mode, some web pages are a little tight and you have to scroll, but writing in OneNote 2007 is great - Plus reading documents is easy too with the longer screen real estate -
I keep forgetting I have touch... - Touch is very responsive though - and I am surprised my fat fingers are so accurate -
Vista needs to have a "fat' start menu for touch devices -
I can see a lot of cracked screens from people trying to twist from the top of the screen - the catches might break in with use, but new they are pretty tight - it flexes the screen quite a bit if you try from the top... (maybe they thought of this already and have some support in there, I don't want to find out though) -
I want more space on the screen running Visual Studio - but it does well in running and building -
Pushes external monitors easily -
It fits what I do for my day job really well... processor is fast, memory is fast - it's done wonderful in all my testing - I want it for my daily computer, but that can't happen right now :( What else do you want to know? I have it for only a short time so get your questions in fast!!

Last night I was working on my X61 doing some work and decided to move over to the M700 to give it a try. This is just a really quick demo of using the M700 to do some 3D GIS work. In the demo, I take a raster image with elevations, convert it to a 3D set of triangles (I call them polygons in the video), open up the 3D display and overlay some aerial photos.
This will show you a couple of things - the speed of the processors making almost 400,000 triangles from elevation data and the ability for the M700 to display and process the 3D rotation and display.
It really did a nice job - I am comparing it to my x61 (not totally fair I know processor wise) and it is a LOT faster for this type of work. I use my x61 every day for this exact type of work, but now I am really wanting this M700 after last night... wonder how bad I'll want this by the end of the week!! Maybe I'll just keep it :)

Just installed Messenger and Live writer on the M700 so I can use this Tablet PC to post and chat :) So one of the main concerns I have about switching to the M700 (or any other wide screen 12" Tablet) is the resolution. I have a thing for wanting to see a TON of data on my screen - even if it means it's really small... My previous standard laptop was a 15" 1600x1200 screen Dell - since then I have been with Toshiba's M4 14" 1400x1050, the Toshiba M400 12" 140x1050 and then the Lenovo 12" 1400x1050. As you can tell I love the high res screens - and they are becoming few and far between... Enter the 1280x800 screen on the M700. What do I think? I don't mind it so far - I actually kind of like it, I don't have Visual Studio or my GIS / CADD software installed just yet though - I'll let you know again after that! For High-Res screen lovers like myself, I have posted a few shots of common programs to give everyone a feel of what the real estate on the screen is really like.

In addition to Matt's Toshiba M700 Unboxing video, GoodThings2Life, a GBM Forum Member, has posted his own review of the M700 Tablet PC. There is nothing like a true end-user review. Looking forward to reading more, GoodThings2Life! I’ve been using a Portege M400 Tablet PC at work since I started in May, and although I liked it well enough as a Tablet PC, there were some things about it that didn’t sit well with me. For example, the fan would run constantly (and loudly), and it had lousy battery life as a result. All of the known fixes from Toshiba (and some other forums) didn’t resolve it, so I was stuck with it. Also, as much as I like high-resolution displays on a desktop monitor, the 1450×1050 resolution of the M400 was too high for the 12.1" screen profile. I found myself squinting to read everything. There were a few other minor things, but they’re not really sticking out in my mind right now. Fortunately, Toshiba released the M700 in December to remedy the issues of the M400. Customer Service needed a Tablet PC for testing purposes, so I handed down my M400 to them for that purpose in favor of the M700 that we ordered. It may seem a little unfair that I get a new PC after being here less than a year, but remember– I actually use my Tablet PC on a daily basis for work, and Customer Service will only be using it occasionally for testing and demonstrations. Anyway, the M700 arrived yesterday morning, and I have to say– I am VERY, VERY impressed with it! Here’s a look at why:

In case you missed the show - the full Toshiba M700 unboxing was recorded from Ustream. We went on for 2 hours and had a good time with the show. There were a couple of times where the video was lagging and stopped working for just a couple of minuets, but all in all a good recording. Lots of people joined in the show, there were up to 60 on at one time with over 800 views of the show. Look for more videos this week as I take a closer look at the machine and really dig into the functionality, performance, screen and whatever else I can find to play around with...

Yes, it's true. GottaBeMobile.com has an M700 that will be in my hands tomorrow!! And tomorrow night, Saturday January 26th at 9:00 PM EST I will be taking it out of the box in front of all the GBM readers!! I'll be streaming this from Ustream right here on our site. I will have all kinds of information about this unit over the next week, I am personally considering this Tablet PC because of the work I do for my 'real' job. I'll be putting it to the test (not during the unboxing, over the next few days) doing some video processing, some major GIS work using ESRI ArcInfo software, some 3D rendering, some light AutoCAD work and whatever else you what me to test out!! Post a comment on this or any other post I do and I will try and get your requests fulfilled. I will also be doing some comparison testing between the Lenovo x61 and the Toshiba M700 - we'll just see how much difference that full C2D makes!! Let me know if there is anything you would like me to try and do over the next week - I'll be happy to give just about anything a shot for all of you faithful GBM readers!! Check things out tomorrow night!! (Saturday, January 26th at 9:00 PM EST) Or, shoot me an e-mail by clicking my name at the top of this post if you want to know something specific!

When talking with Kevin Roberts, Toshiba's M700 Product Manager, a couple of weeks ago, I asked him when tablet features would be making their way into more of their product lines. I brought up their ultra-portable Portege R500 as a prime example - ultra-thin and light, 1.72 pounds, 1.2 Core 2 Duo ULV, 12.1" 1280 x 800 screen, SSD support, and optional built-in CD / DVD. In addition to those features, Akihabara is reporting today that Toshiba is adding integrated 3G, too. Mr. Roberts seemed quite intrigued by the idea of making the R500 into a Tablet PC, but remarked that they had not previously considered it. Their market research indicated that people were looking primarily for performance in a tablet pc, not ultra-portability - thus the M700. I explained to him that there is a market for both. Look at HP's 2710p, Fujitsu's T2010, and Dell's Latitude XT as good examples. In my opinion, and that of many others I talk to, the R500 would make for a killer Tablet PC and is just begging for an active digitizer. I remember holding one during CES and just shaking my head wondering why it wasn't a Tablet PC. What say you, Tablet PC community? Would you like to see Toshiba turn the R500 into a Tablet PC? Would you buy one? via Engadget

As promised here’s the video of the interview with Toshiba’s Kevin Roberts on the M700 Tablet PC. I’m telling you folks, I’m impressed with the design, the power, and the touch and Inking on this Tablet PC. When you look at the specs for this Tablet PC versus the price ($1699 for XP $1799 for Vista Business-and that price jump also gets you 2GB of RAM), and the fact that you can use accesories (port replicator, slice battery, pen) from the earlier M400, it is tough to argue with the value. This is going to be a winnner, all the way around.
