Reviews of the Toshiba Portege M400
-
CNET Review
The Good: Inexpensive; integrated hot-swappable bay; built-in microphone; solid security features; generous software bundle.
The Bad: Middling mobile performance and battery life; cheap stylus.
The Bottom Line: Though inexpensive, the Portege M400 convertible tablet's middle-of-the-road performance and battery life may not be enough for the demanding business user. For basic tasks, however, it's a decent bargain.
