|  Toshiba announced the Portege R400 tablet, the signature Windows Vista PC, at CES 2007. Toshiba Portege R400 is claimed to be the world’s first notebook computer with the ability to automatically synchronize e-mail and calendar events through the integration of Microsoft’s Active Notifications. Among significant inovations incorporated in Portege R400, there are the secondary Edge Display, the main LED backlit 12.1-inch screen and a patent pending elevated rotational hinge.
The Toshiba Portege R400 measures 12 inches wide, 9.4 inches deep, and 1.25 inches high, slightly smaller than the Apple MacBook. Like the Vista-based HP Pavilion tx1000us, the Portege R400 has a comfortable full-size keyboard and a 12.1-inch screen that is a little on the small side for long-term use. The Portege R400 weighs 3.8 pounds (4.6 pounds with the AC adapter), which is just about right for a thin-and-light notebook you'd carry around on a frequent basis.
The system's base, screen bezel, and spine are black, but the lid and the keyboard tray are white, giving it an almost Mac-like look, especially when closed. The center hinge is solid and literally snaps into place, letting you know it's correctly situated. Unlike the HP Pavilion tx1000us, the Portege R400's tablet screen is of the traditional, active-stylus-type, and you'll need to use the included stylus to control it.
