Amazon.com Product Description
Larger than previous Toshiba Tablet PCs though still nicely svelte, the R15-S822 includes support for Intel's next-generation Pentium M platform, code-named Sonoma. The Tablet PC design enables you to take notes and write emails without your keyboard and browse the Web with a pen. You can even get creative by sketching out ideas or creating digital art right on the screen. The R15-S822 features a swiveling 14.1-inch display, a DVD/CD-RW combo drive, 60 GB hard drive, 512 MB of installed RAM, 54g wireless connectivity, and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005. The Basics
- Hard Drive: While the 60 GB IDE hard drive (4200 RPM) has become average for notebook PCs, it's quite sizeable in comparison with other comparable ultra-compact notebooks. It offers road warriors enough capacity for storing documents, digital media files, and productivity software.
- Processor: The 1.6 GHz Pentium M (Centrino) processor is at the middle of the speed spectrum for this processor class (February, 2005). It is well equipped for office productivity software tasks, from complex spreadsheets to databases. The Pentium M processor is designed specifically for low-power mobile usage, and it features the latest in power-saving technologies--ensuring you push your battery and productivity to the max. It also has a large 2 MB L2 cache--which will help speed up your system's performance--and a 400 MHz front-side bus (FSB).
- Memory: The 512 MB of built-in memory (2 x 256 MB, DDR SDRAM, PC2700, 333 MHz) is a good start for power users. It has two memory slots in total, with a maximum memory expansion up to a hefty 2 GB (2 x 1024 MB).
- CD/DVD Drive: The combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive can read CDs at 24x, write at 24x, and rewrite at 24x speeds. It can read DVDs at 8x.
- Keyboard and Mouse: This Tablet PC has an 84-key keyboard with 13 function keys and a two-button touchpad.

Great hardware-software glitches July 6, 2007
I am very pleased with the rate of delivery, quality and price of this tablet PC. My only concern is the limited Microsoft Office (94?) which was installed in it. It required a password I did not receive so, I could only use it on a trial basis before installing a copy I had previously purchased.
 Toshiba Performs well February 12, 2007
Looks like it's a keeper. Toshiba likes to mess with Wireless control to it's detriment, but other than that, the system works pretty good. Sloooww getting an IP address, but then everything works OK. Like the Tablet, but putting in text could be a little more easy, if not more intuitive.
 Heavy, unreliable, quirky October 24, 2006

I have had a Toshiba Satellite tablet PC for about 18 months. The first one had a power supply failure within 3 weeks of purchase at CompUSA. It was replaced. The tablet hot keys on the second unit never functioned correctly, the unit shut down regularly (blue screen) with an alleged video driver failure, I never got to the bottom of that. It came with insufficient memory, so I upgraded it to 1GB RAM. That improved performance. It recently stopped working again. CompUSA is refusing to repair it, although I have one of their fancy TAP extended warranties. They are saying I must have dropped it recently, which is not the case. So, no more Toshiba, no more CompUSA. I did love the tablet functionality and will buy another tablet PC, but not from Toshiba and not from CompUSA.
 There are a lot of other companies who have much better products October 14, 2006

I could not, in any way, suggest this product to anyone. First, their cusotmer support of the product is the worst I have encountered in 16 years of owning laptops. A very simple repair they are refusing to handle. Somehow the rep I talked to felt I had purposely damamged the PC. All that is wrond is that the strain relief on the power supply separated. I have now spent over 3 hours on the phone over two days and have yet to get this resolved.
There are other issues about this PC. The tablet PC features still need a faster processor to make a tablet PC replace a regular laptop. Which is a shame because I am loosing the use of the two small fingers of my left hand. So I still use the keyboard and do a lot of correcting.
The placement of the mic is such that your going to get an earsplitting squeal if you try to use it on your lap. You have to turn off the volume completely. So you can't get any sound feedback. I am expecting the hinge to break any day. Its real flimsy. Something you realize after using it for awhile. After I purchased it I called in to get their extended warranty to cover breakage. I was told I could not get it as I have allready had the PC in my possesion. I would have had to purchase that kind of extended coverage when I purchased the laptop. Several months later the strain relief end of the power supply cracked and sometimes shorts. I have had 4 laptops over the last 16 years and never had this kind of problem.
I will never buy another Toshiba product. Period. Their support is non-existant. I am still on hold after being told to call back for customer relations.
 Very impressive July 7, 2006

Pros: extremely high cost-effectiveness (got a display model for $550 from CompUSA), sturdy, crystal clear sound with SRS, good Human-Computer Interface design.
Cons: battery life way too short for me (3 hours at most), a little bit heavy, no DVD+/-R writer, 512MB system memory (install another 512MB or 1GB is a must because video card uses system memory as its virtual memory)
Overall: Toshiba brand Tablet PC is still one of the best in the market. Trustworthy.
