In the world of tablet PC's there is plenty of competition and with everyone looking for the most powerful machine possible packed into the smallest package it can be rather difficult.

Toshiba has attempted several tablet PC’s, one of which is the Tecra M4.

This Toshiba Tecra laptop aims to help fit into the needs of businesses and personal computer users seamlessly and delivers fairly well in some areas, while leaving people unhappy in others.

Pros

With 1GB of memory standard that can be upgraded to 2GB, you are looking at more RAM initially than many other models offer.

Of course, upgrading to the 2GB is still advisable if you plan on using the laptop much.

The convertible screen gives you the ability to still use the unit as a laptop, and then switch conveniently to tablet mode when you need to.

This ensures that you are able to move seamlessly from one function to the next without having to get a different computer.

Cons

For a tablet PC, this is extremely heavy coming in at 6.2 pounds. Those who are looking for a good tablet PC for a continuous usage basis are going to want to find something lighter and easier to carry.

Trimming down small amounts of weight can make a huge difference when carrying the tablet around for long periods of time.

Other bad aspects which is probably just as bad, if not worse than the weight is the unit gets extremely hot after it has been on for a while.

This can make holding the unit quite uncomfortable in addition to being heavy.

The Toshiba Tecra laptop screen is also highly prone to glare from light, which can be a real hassle when trying to use it during meetings and other similar situations.

If you are planning on using this primarily as a tablet then be prepared for the disappointments.
