I am now on my 3rd and have yet had to call customer support, so I can't attest to whether they are good or bad. I am currently thinking of replacing my desk top with a tablet laptop and it will be a Toshiba. I only wish I had as luck with printers. After buying HP printers for about 20 years. My recent experience with there multi-purpose 7130 and worse yet the company posture, forced me, a person who doesn't like to change to try a new company. I picked an Epson Laser. Please say a prayer for me!

I could not agree more, about the Toshiba Laptop, and also about owning a Tablet PC. I am about to head out and meet a client to sign a Purchase Offer (which I perform on my Toshiba Tablet, then e-mail to the Seller right from our meeting). I have a Toshiba M200 tablet which I love and have never had a problem with. My wife owns a Toshiba M400 (current model) which she also enjoys. My last laptop was a Toshiba Satellite 5500 which my assistant is now using (I did have a hard drive crash on that one, but that can happen with any computer & I did not lose any data). I'll personallly have no problem going with another Toshiba when ready. Hope that helps somehow.

You might take a look at the Toshiba Tecra M7. It has a large screen and a large keyboard. They call it a convertable because it is just like a rather large laptop but the screen rotates and flips over so you can write on it. Has an availible CD/DVD burner and will hold plenty of memory. It can be Bluetooth enabled and is WI-FI capable. My understanding is it is 'Vista Capable'.

I am on my 2nd one and can't live with out it. The first was a Toshiba
M200 and now Motion. I would recommend reading from
http://www.tabletpcbuzz.com/ to discover some very good info. Two
thoughts would be to only get a screen that is visible in sunlight and
get a 12 inch screen the lighter the better.

I did extensive research on the Tablet PC's before I purchased one and I
decided to go with the new Toshiba Tecra M4 Tablet. I looked at the Red
Tablet, the IBM ThinkPad, the Gateway Tablets and even the Tecra Satellite
prior to making this big decision.
I went with this Tablet in lieu of the Red Tablet due to the fact that this
one can also be used as a laptop. The Red Tablet can only be used with an
additional keyboard. The Tecra M4 also has a DVD/CD writer in it for added
flexibility. I can burn CD's or DVD's on the spot for my clients with
pictures of the homes we have seen, and listing information for them to
View when they get home.
The Tecra M4 also has a faster processor and the ability to add more memory
than the Red Tablet. I can type up contract using the laptop part of it,
then convert it to the Tablet and let my clients initial and sign the
document, then quickly convert it back to the laptop and e-mail, fax or
print it out.
It has been very convenient and easy to use and understand. It's
possibilities are endless. I am glad I went this route. Yes, the Red
Tablet is lighter, but the functionality being built in and ready to go has
been priceless.
