I'm extremly pleased with this Tablet PC., August 17, 2006
Okay, so if you are like me you want to hear from other buyers and see about the reviews for the products I plan on purchasing.
So when I decided about finally getting this Tablet PC, I looked up this product and couldn't find any reviews at all. So today, I decided to check up on this at Amazon. I read the previous review and I have to admit that if I would have read waht he wrote in his review, I wouldn't have purchased this Tablet PC.
However, I didn't read it and I did purchase the Tablet PC. I have to tell you guys that I'm very pleased with the Toshiba Tablet PC. I like all the Toshiba software and I also love how the Stylus slips into the side of the unit. And there is even a back up stylus in a hidden compartment on the bottom of the unit incase you ever loose the stylus. (I left it at home a few times and had to use the back up). I have only one complaint about the unit however, so get ready. The unit is pretty battery intensive. So I purchased a back up.
It has 1 gig of memory and a dual processor. I've been using it moderatly heavy on a daily basis at home and only occasionally at work. It really impressed the people I sat with at a Project management seminar. One guy was typing on his laptop, another guy had this collapsable keyboard hooked up to a PalmPilot? It wasnt' working to well on his lap. It kept folding up on him as he was typing stuff. I was using the Tablet PC as a notebook and handwriting the notes. When I got home it converted the handwriting to text. Pretty slick.
I too have had an issue with the power supply chord. And I too contacted Toshiba Service hotline. I had a completely different experience the the previous poster who mentioned something about being lied to. They took my service request over the phone, located a local service rep and had a workorder already set up when I got to the local rep. I just supplied the service order number and two days later I got my new Power Supply AC Adapter. I just went and picked it up. I even took a service quality survey and gave them all good reviews.
Now maybe it's just me, but I'm sure some of you out there will know exactly what I'm talking about. When I'm dealing with a Tablet PC or anything that small and that expensive, I have a natural tendancy to be gentle with these items. My Ipod, my PSP, my Tablet PC, my car, my Cell phone... you get the idea. I just don't see it neccessary to be rough with my items. I can just imagine the previous person who reviewed this item slaming the lid closed, or puching the keyboard hard, or using the stylus with a deathgrip and pressing down HARD, or hitting the monitor with a club... Well that last one was an exageration, but you get the idea.
I'm not saying that it isn't possible to break these parts with normal usage, but it hasn't happened to me. I've been using my Tablet PC for about 5 months now and other then the AC Adapter issue, I havn't experienced anything that would make me give this item a negative review and tell people to avoid.
In my experience, it has been a great piece of hardware and the only time I experienced any trouble, I was well taken care of. In closing, I'm extremly pleased with this Tablet PC.

Short time user., January 11, 2007
Seems like a good machine so far, but a little pricey. Light, fast, bright screen. Tablet is very convenient for many things. There is some difficulty with passwords in tablet mode, but that is probably just me. But just cruising eBay, wow! its cool and fast. My wife complains about the keyboard and has difficulty typing on it vs our Dell laptop. The only real problem is that while both laptops are configured the same, the Toshiba periodically, like once a day, loses wireless connectivity and has to be rebooted to regain it. This never happens with the Dell. I suppose I need to get help with this, possibly update some driver or the wireless router. Overall, we're happy so far.

Great Tablet for the price, November 7, 2006
I so much wanted the Lenovo Tablet but after comparing this Toshiba to the Lenovo, this baby won hands down, not only for the price but for the features it included. PLUS amazon is such a great place because it offered me a coupon for a VISTA upgrade which I lucked out from the manufacturer. This tablet is soooo quiet and the parts are not that easy to break. I guess if you are careless with your stuff, it can break easy. I just wish they sell SATA drives so that I can purchase the adaptor for it and have two HDD in this baby. I bought the 2nd optional battery (slice) from toshiba for $149 since they sent me a coupon after I registered the tablet at their site. I love everything about it, but as soon as Apple creates their tablet, this baby has to go =). Enjoy your Toshiba tablet, it is really worth it and Amazon is still the low price leader!
