Toshiba Portégé M200: a first look
Published: 19 Feb 2004
Toshiba produced one of the best convertible tablets last year, and now, after a long wait, the company has released its improved successor, the Portégé M200 Tablet PC. This new convertible includes Intel Centrino technology, enhanced wireless connectivity, a unique docking station and a twist-and-fold screen.
The 2kg Portégé M200 is one of the best-looking and most feature-rich tablets on the market. It includes a 1.6GHz Pentium M processor, 32MB Nvidia GeForce FX Go5200 graphics, integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, dual-band-ready 802.11a/b antennae, a 60GB hard drive, a 12.1in. screen, and a Secure Digital media slot.
The tablet also has an optional docking station that supports swappable optical drives or a second hard drive. As with Toshiba's previous model, the screen twists around on a sturdy, fabulously designed central hinge and folds over the keyboard, turning the system into a tablet.
The Portégé M200 costs £1,599 (ex. VAT), making it one of the most expensive tablets.
If our first impressions are correct, the Portégé M200 is likely to present a strong challenge to its rivals. Stay tuned for our full review.
