Toshiba Portege M400 Tablet - Loaded

#1 Post by asiafish » Mon May 21, 2007 2:37 am

I just bought a new T60 for primary use and an X31 for travel, so my 1-year-old Toshiba Tablet PC is up for sale. This is in extremely good condition, with only a shiny space bar to show for its year of use.

This is loaded, with a T2300 CoreDuo processor at 1.66GHz, a full 2.0 GB of Samsung RAM and a fast 120 GB 5400 RPM SATA hard drive. IT has INtel 3495 a/b/g wireless and a built-in CDRW/DVD Combo Drive.

It also comes with TWO docking stations that feature both VGA and DVI video (both can be used simultaneously) and three AC adapters. The battery is in great condition, giving the same 4 hours it gave when new (with aggressive power management). The laptop also comes with the clip-on plate battery, which doubles the runtime to 8 hours.

The M400 has a semi-glossy screen that I've found to be a great compromise between vivid color and glare control, and while not up to ThinkPad standards, the keyboard isn't bad either.

It came with XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 (recovery DVD included) but is currently running Vista Business, which I will include (CDs and COA). Vista is ESSENTIAL for Tablets on account of the vastly improved handwriting recognition.

The machine still has two years of warranty, though it is hard to verify as the sticker with the serial number faded to illegible and peeled off. Toshiba dealers can verify the SN with a special boot CD. I bought this as a refurb direct from Toshiba and paid to extend the warranty, so there won't be any trouble should service be needed (doubtful).

THe M400 is a bit thicker than tablets that lack the optical drive, but weight is about the same at 4.4lbs. Its a high-quality, premium tablet that is more biased toward laptop mode, but does a very good job in tablet mode. The built-in optical drive can be replaced by a second battery or another hard drive, and it actually has almost decent stereo speakers making it possible to actually watch movies without headphones (not the best sound, but adequate).

The only things this machine lacks are Bluetooth, WWAN and DVD writing, it has everything else available for the M400.

Remember, you get the M400 tablet, 120GB drive, 2GB RAM, main and extended batteries, 3 AC adapters and 2 docking stations. This is a very complete system to use at home, the office and on the run.

I didn't plan on selling this, but I was presented with far too good of a deal on the T60 and I just can't justify owning two modern CoreDuo machines.

I'm looking for $1,000.00 shipped.
