Review: Toshiba Portege M200 (The Gadgeteer)

The Gadgeteer has a review of Toshiba’s ultraportable “convertible” Portege M200 Tablet PC. As James Kendrick points out, it’s a good review as the person reviewing it has never used a Tablet PC before. Whenever I say convertible, I’m talking about a notebook that has both a physical keyboard, as well as the ability to change into a Tablet PC, complete with Microsoft’s Tablet PC version of Windows XP.
