As expected, Toshiba announced the Portege R400 Tablet PC at CES 2007. Dubbed as “the signature Windows Vista PC”, the notebook is also claimed as the world’s first laptop with automatic e-mail and calendar events synchronization through Microsoft Active Notifications integration. It supports Toshiba Wireless Port Replicator and the innovative Vista SideShow feature, providing a secondary Edge Display on the panel (like Asus W5Fe), and also sports patent-pending elevated rotational hinge.

“To assist with this synchronization process, the Portege R400 features Toshiba’s ConfigFree, which helps detect and connect to the strongest and most reliable network connection available. To further enhance the functionality of the system’s automatic e-mail synchronization capabilities, the company added the Toshiba Edge Display to the Portege R400. Located on the front edge of the Portege R400, this secondary display serves as the user’s Personal Information Assistant allowing the user to easily monitor his/her inbox and calendar activity. To ensure full benefits of the convertible design, the Toshiba Edge Display is viewable in notebook or tablet mode and even when the unit is stored in a carrying case“, Toshiba explains.

The 12.1-inch Portege R400 Tablet PC is planned to hit the market in the end of January, right when Microsoft releases the Vista OS to public. Base confic with Genuine Windows Vista Business pre-installed can be purchased for $2,599 through resellers, mail order partners, or directly from ToshibaDirect.com.
