Toshiba Portege M700

I have never been fully convinced of the Tablet PC concept. He may look better in medical dramas and science fiction shows, where characters businesslike tap away at tablet devices, but you must remember one thing about it - they do nothing! If you ever really tried to control the computer tablet in portrait mode, you will be well aware that this is far from simple procedure. Another question I have is that PCs are not particularly easy either, so if you plan to spend their entire day wandering around the work as a clipboard, you want to place somewhere in the gym at the first. It is in this regard with some dismay that I am looking at Portégé M700 - Toshiba latest thin and light notebooks Tablet.

Pending bogged down in "tabletness" from the M700, let's take a look at the notebook base. What you want to get a 12.1in machine that slightly heavier and bulkier than non-tablet model will be. Toshiba quotes weight 2kg for M700, and placing machines at TrustedReviews scales proved that the assessment will be on the ground. This is weighty enough to 12.1in machine, especially if you consider that in the past 12.1in Toshiba laptop, I was considered a feather-like Portégé R500, which weighed only 755g! This is slightly too chunky beast measuring 305 x 239 x 37 (SH x D x).

The screen sports native resolution of 1280 x 800, which is very much on par for the course 12.1in display. What's surprising is that the screen is bright, despite the fact as to touch the surface of the screen, and digitiser pen tablet characteristics. OK, so not too bright, like many other notebooks and did not have high contrast coating, which has become so popular lately, but for office use, where the machine is the goal, the screen very well. If there is one other hand, is that rather narrow viewing angles, but it is inevitable touch screen.

Storing things in the notebook orientation, opening the M700 shows somewhat disappointing keyboard. For some reason feel the keys less than they should be on 12.1in machine, whereas the travel feels somewhat shallow and unresponsive. I was difficult to create a good gain momentum on the M700 as the keys just felt a little dead under my fingers. Part of the problem is the excessive amount of flexibility exhibited on the keyboard, with a significant portion visibly flexing with each keystroke. On the plus side, the location is good, with the Ctrl key in the lower left corner where it should be, resulting in "hot keys" easy to manage.
