Toshiba Satellite R25 Tablet PC Notebook Convertible Review
If you were looking for a notebook and thought about the R25 for the added bonus of tablet functionality, skip it . There are much better alternatives at that price range even by Toshiba itself. The reason why Tablet PCs aren’t wide spread is probably because they are not up to par with regular notebooks, handwriting recognition is poor and digitizer performance is way behind a proper Wacom tablet.

However if you are an artist looking for a Tablet PC with the main purpose of drawing and writing on the screen the R25 is an option to consider (when the Wacom driver issue will be sorted out), if only for the lack of tablet selection in general and at that price range in particular. The R25 price tag is what makes it a better buy then the M7 or ANY other $2,000 tablet because it means an easier trade-in when the next generation of tablet PCs will be released, hopefully soon.

The good: Wide screen; sharp display resolution; tablet functionality.

The bad: Too heavy for regular mobile use; screen wobbles easily; small touch pad; mediocre performance.

The bottom line: The bulky Satellite R25 offers a beautiful display and plenty of features at a low price, but if you don’t need the tablet functionality, there are better wide-screen notebooks on the market.
