Amazon.com Product Description

Blending the functionality of today's top notebooks with the convenience of pen-based input, Toshiba's Portégé 3500 Tablet PC delivers a possible glimpse into the future of mobile computers. Versatile and extremely compact but not particularly powerful when compared to standard portables, the Portégé 3500 is a great fit for those who are handier with a pen than a keyboard and value a truly petite profile.

The unit is most at home when used to enter, store and share notes and concepts that might otherwise be kept in handwritten format. In fact, measuring just 11.6 by 9.2 by 1.2 inches and tipping the scales at a scant 4.1 pounds, the Portégé 3500 is as comfortably portable as a conventional paper-based notepad. Users input data in one of two ways--either by sketching directly on the swiveling, double-duty 12.1-inch poly-silicon TFT color LCD (maximum resolution 1024x768) or via an 84-key keyboard.

Though the Portégé 3500 is not as powerful as a comparably priced notebook, it is faster than many competing tablets. Featuring a 1.33 GHz Intel Pentium III processor-M with enhanced SpeedStep technology for improved battery life, 256 MB SDRAM memory (expandable to a whopping 1024 MB), and a Trident CyberALLADIN-T graphics controller with 16 MB external memory, the unit will easily handle most day-to-day mobile computing tasks and many 3-D apps too. Serious gamers or 3-D artisans should look elsewhere.

Connectivity amenities include an RJ-45 LAN port for network and online access, an RJ-11 modem port for low-speed e-communication, and integrated Wi-Fi compliant wireless LAN support. The system also sports a surprisingly large 40 GB hard disk and facilities for an external CD and/or DVD drive, a pair of ultra-fast USB 2.0 ports for plug and play peripherals, an integrated TouchPad, 12 function keys, a speaker and microphone and full 16-bit stereo sound. Battery life is estimated at 3.5 hours under ideal conditions.

Good laptop, crippling design choices.......2005-07-31

This is a pretty decent tablet for the price. Toshiba managed to pack in a fair amount of processing power, and although small the screen is crisp and remains clear even after years of tablet use.

However, there were some bone-headed design decisions that hurt the usability of the laptop. One reviewer mentioned how they've positioned the off button. I shut the tablet off several times by mistake before I realized what was going on. How did that get past testing?

The worst decision, from the perspective of a techie, is that there is no way to boot from a USB CDROM or DVD. This means that unless you have a special PCMCIA-attached CDROM, you can't actually install any other operating systems.

A cute laptop, but obviously designed for the segment of the market that doesn't change any of the pre-installed options. For technical users, that's a killer, and even for non-technical users, the inflexibility hurts the resale value.

on off button a problem, but only if you are right handed.......2004-12-12

I'm pretty sure this was designed by a lefty. Because if you are right handed and are using the tablet feature, your palm is forced to sit on the on off button. At least it restart fairly quickly. Also , it does not come with Onenote.

Everything I needed.......2004-01-14

I was honestly supprised that this wasn't noticeably more expensive than a conventional laptop. This is really a full-fledged conventional portable (not desktop-replacement) laptop, but the tablet functionality is very convenient for taking notes (diagrams and such), and for reading electronic documents.

As for the comments about tech support, I wouldn't know. I've never had to use it, unlike Dell's friendly but frequently used support. That's a good thing for Toshiba in my book. Only problem I've had with this is a few more dead pixles than I'd like (3 or so).

Terrible Tech Support.......2004-01-06

Toshiba may make good products, but their support is the worst i have ever come across. They have lost my laptop for over a month now and do not care a lick about it. They're tech support team is in Turkey and they dont care a thing about anybody. They kept hanging up on me and refused to help me saying it will take some time. When i called back- no one knew anything and had zero updates. DO NOT BUY TOSHIBA PRODUCTS! Get a Gateway or Dell instead...two companies that actually care about their customers.

Groovy couch companion, not a full PC replacement........2003-10-01

When my company decided to spring for new laptops for engineers, I jumped at the opportunity to try something a little different. I'm a huge fan of Toshiba laptops in general (more reliable than a Dell, less expensive/pretentious than an IBM) and the 'think in ink' feature set of this baby seemed like a great meeting accessory.

Now, with three months invested, I like it for a totally different set of reasons than why I bought it.

First: It's tiny. And light. One of my new favorite past times is putting it in "tablet" mode, hooking into my apartment WiFi, and browsing Amazon and web comics. It's no paperback novel, but for a few hours of web browsing, it's great. I also use it folded up with a USB bar code scanner for scanning serial numbers on my current project.

Second: It's got a real battery! I think I was unfairly trained to the 30-minute lifespan of my previous (first Clinton-term era) laptop, but this baby gets every minute of the 3.5 hours advertised. The power saving tools are infinitely customizable and never intrusive.

Third: Limited peripherals will set you free. I don't think it's really designed to be your ONLY PC. No floppy. No CD. No DVD. No serial (I got an external USB-to-DB9 adapter since serial consoles are a big part of my job). No parallel. No big freaky docking station jack. Instead, when I'm on the road, I have a Kensington wireless/optical/travel mouse. When I'm at the office, I plug into power and a USB hub that connects me to my iPaq cradle, scanner, external CD drive, and a wired optical mouse. When I'm at home, I'm wireless to my home PC-- that does all my DVD playing, CD writing, and floppy reading for me.

Do I use the writable screen? Heck yeah. There are a lot of times it's easier to email a hand-sketch than do ASCII art or a five paragraph description. A picture's worth a thousand words, etc. Plus, when your lap's just not available, the tablet form factor is a touch of genius. I've passed it around in a meeting when I wanted to be able to update a worksheet on the fly. I'll flip the monitor around backward to show the person opposite me what I'm working on. Have I eliminated the tree-killing scourge of paper from my life? I'd recommend "The Myth of the Paperless Office" if you think it could.

So, if I had to have just one computer... this couldn't be it. But if you're a geek like me, and you're looking for a laptop to be king among your gadgets, toys, and existing computer menagerie, this is your baby.

Toshiba's technical support was BIG problem.......2006-02-17

I really liked my Toshiba Portage 3505 Tablet PC. It is a very light weight laptop with excellent features and functionality. The tablet functioned extremely well and was very touch sensitive. Sadly the monitor started to go out almost immediately and I was not able to get any help from tech support. When the monitor finally went out, not long after I got it, I was told, "sorry, no warranty" even though I had purchased the laptop brand new, directly from Toshiba. I found that to replace the monitor would cost as much as buying a new laptop. I agree with another reviewer who did not feel that Toshiba cared at all for their customers. I also never talked to a tech support person who seemed to understand basic English. I would gladly own another Toshiba laptop, especially to Portage Tablet PC, but only if I knew customer service would be provide better support.

Two Thumbs Up on the Portege 3505.......2003-12-10

This notebook is great! I've had it for about 3 months now and I haven't had any problems to date (knock on wood). From my perspective... here are the advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages
- Excellent design
- It reads 99% of my sloppy writing and you can save note in your own handwriting or convert them to text
- Fast CPU for a tablet pc
- Large hard drive
- USB 2.0 ports
- Weighs 4 pounds
- Compact Flash and Secure Digital slots
- Equipped with DVD-Rom (this is not available on the 3500 model)

Disadvantages
- It's a little slow compared to my Dell Dimension 8200, but what do you expect, it's a notebook
- Battery life
- External DVD-Rom
- Very little software provided... but this was an easy one to surpass...

Other Notes:
The first time I called tech support they were terrible. I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. The second time I called in I asked to speak with Tier 2 support and they were perfect! So just call up and ask to be bumped up from the stump answering the phone. BTW, the issue I had was with the DVD-Rom installation. It wasn't a big deal...

...P>In summary, this is an excellent notebook at a reasonable price. It's easy to use and it is the best in its class (at time of posting)! Be a good consumer and shop around before you pick one up.

"Hot" tablet/notepad.......2003-10-22

The portege is an amazing machine. I've been looking to do away with notepads and pens during University lecture note-taking, and the portege has worked very well. The heat is not too much of a problem when you are running on a power saving mode. If you run on a high-energy mode, the fan vent will heat up a good amount, with the power plugged in near this vent also does increase the heat. It doesn't get to the point where it will burn your hand, just heats it up a bit.

The video's card failure is not an issue unless you want to run graphic intensive video games, I've been able to run a number of "light" games without too much of a slow down. Thanks to the 516 RAM things are very speedy. Hand writing software is very good, it takes only a few days to train yourself what horrible chicken-scratch will and will not be accepted.

The keyboard/pad scores high marks, being very intuitive keyboard layout.

You're paying for the tablet switch back function, not the power. But as far as changeable tablets, or just tablets, the protege has great power and has become a desktop replacement for myself.

A great tablet PC.......2003-10-01

Tablet PC has been out almost a year now and is slowly gaining momentum in the corporate world. For the average consumer, though, I think it's still way over-priced and under-equipped in terms of software. In short, the Tablet PC platform is still largely a vertical market product.

That said, having a Tablet PC does give the gadget freak a few cool things to enjoy. For example, scratch on a pad to your heart's full content. Not enough? How about watching a DVD movie at any angle you wish? Still want more? You can lie on your stomach and surf the web, you geek!

The Protege 3505 is arguably the sleekest and strongest TPC on the market right now. It's a hybrid model with a keyboard which turns it into a notebook. Compared to the lower-rung 3500 model, the 3505 has more memory (512 vs. 256) and also comes with an external DVD drive. It has wi-fi built-in (along with Ethernet and IR), and depending on the specific configuration, you can opt for built-in Bluetooth as well.

Performance is solid from the P3-M processor. You should know that the TPC version of Windows XP is optimized for the processors so you actually get a lot of performance at "low" clock speeds. ("Low" compared to desktop P4s; if you compare with Power PC G3 or G4's, these are still "fast".) I certainly have no problem playing MP3s in the background while running a few Excel Solver analyses; the OS remains totally responsive.

Battery life is average for TPCs, but weight is where Toshiba can improve. On the other hand, this is an affordable TPC, so you have to ask yourself which of the two (weight vs. price) is more important to you. Fujitsu's Tablet PCs are better built and only slightly less sleek, but their battery life is not as good as Toshiba while costing more. Sorry, still no perfect TPC yet.

Should you get your Amazon Visa card out and order one right now? I'd say no. There isn't much software included, and the novelty factor wears off quickly, plus 4.1 pounds (not counting the external DVD) is a lot to carry. On the other hand, if your company pays for it, it's another story.
