1. Overview
The first thing you notice about the Toshiba Protege M700-S7002 convertible tablet is its 'green' design. Indeed, that is the latest trend these days amongst laptop manufacturers - to produce energy efficient, 'GreenTech Approved' laptops. The Toshiba Protege M700-S7002 is one of the 'greenest' laptops around.
If you throw in the Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 2 GHz processor, and the pre-installed Windows Vista Business operating system, you have a very solid laptop that is bound to sell well.

2. Design
Let's take a look at the Toshiba Protege M700-S7002's design. This thing is a little on the boxy side, unlike its sleeker looking competitors (the Fujitsu LifeBook T4000 Series
or the ASUS R1). However, at a decent light-weight of 4.5 pounds, plus its excellent Wacom-enabled screens (i.e. touch sensitive screens), the Protege M700-S7002 is still very well-designed on the whole.
3. Display
The Toshiba Protege M700-S7002 comes with a 12 inch touch-screen display that responds very well to finger or stylus movements. This makes it perfect for the mobile professional who needs to display information on the go.
3. Keyboard and Other Controls
The keyboard is very pleasant to type on, and the great thing about the Protege M700-S7002 is that there is a very solid 'swivel and expose' feature which allows you to switch to tablet mode very easily.
4. Ports and Connections
The ample USB ports and one Firewire port on the Toshiba Protege M700-S7002 means a lot of expansion options. It also comes with 802.11n connectivity, the latest in wireless tech.
5. Battery Life
The battery life of the Toshiba Protege M700-S7002 is simply fabulous. You can clock at least 3 to 4 hours if you're doing standard word processing or just surfing the Net. Watching movies or video editing might cut down the battery life a little.
6. Shortcomings
What are the shortcomings of the Toshiba Protege M700-S7002? Well, for one thing, it is a little plain looking and a tad on the bulky side. For a tablet PC, it is also a little heavy. Those looking for lighter alternatives can look at the Lenovo X61 Tablet PC.
Conclusion
On the whole, I'd say that the Toshiba Protege M700-S7002 is one great performing table PC. The keyboard and design are very decent, and it is also one of the most 'green' machines out there. Certainly a laptop you can consider if you're in the market for a mobile computing companion.
