Deep down inside, I’ve always had this affinity for Tablet PCs – I just don’t really know why. Perhaps it has something to do with novelty of having a large touch screen interface.. or perhaps it’s the idea of being able to walk around and simply jot down notes electronically. Whatever it was, I actually owned a Tablet PC for several months in the form of the Toshiba Portege M205 (which I reviewed way back when over at my old website – WhiningDog). Thus, it’s nice to see Toshiba is at least still pushing ahead with Tablet PC Convertible systems with the introduction of the Portege M700. Features and specs for the Toshiba Portege M700 include the following:

• Widescreen form factor
