By Craig Simms on 27/05/2008

More Toshiba PC reviews , RRP: AU$4180.00

The good:

  • Excellent usability
  • Lightweight yet relatively rugged
  • Perfectly suited to Vista

The bad:

  • Exorbitant price
  • Ancient specs
  • Keyboard flexes when typed on
  • Mono sound
  • No webcam
  • Heavy
  • Tiny touchpad
  • Screen rotate disables 3G in one direction, degrades quality in another

The bottomline:

The last year has not been kind to Toshiba's Portege R400. While it retains the advantage of being a tablet, in all other respects the rest of the ultraportable crowd have left it well behind.
