The vertical viewing angles seem a bit better, but still are not as good as some other models I have looked at. Speakers There are two speakers in the M4 located right below the screen. In tablet mode they are covered up by the screen, and the sound is thus worse in tablet mode.
In notebook mode the sound is quite good for a laptop. The sound can get fairly loud with the settings cranked up, but there is really no replacement for good speakers or head phones. The tablet connects to my router without problem. I chose not to get bluetooth, but it is also available as an option. There is an infrared port on the left side, but I do not use that either. Battery Battery is one of the weaknesses of the M4. With max settings for the processor, the cooling, and the brightest level the battery will last about 2 hours 20 minutes which should be enough to finish a dvd.
On the long life setting for use with normal workloads the battery should be able to get a little over 3 hours and maybe a bit longer with the wireless off. There is also an optional battery which can replace the DVD drive which can increase the battery life by another 2. I believe that the shorter battery life is due in a large part to powering the digitizer, which thus gives this notebook a somewhat shorter battery life than comparable notebooks.
In fact the only cd that it comes with is an AOL cd. This is made worse by having AOL preinstalled, and installed in sucha way that it is nearly impossible to remove without special programs. As there is no choice for tablets it is included in the price. McAfee antivirus is also installed as a 60 day trial as well as a 30 day trial for Microsoft Office Small Business Edition. Beyond that there are a number of other programs installed which I have difficulty identifying. Many of these programs are used to give the tablet stylus functionality, allow the screen to rotate, and provide functionality to many of the buttons.
With the great number of these things mixed in it becomes increasingly difficult to figure out what programs are necessary and what can be removed. My biggest gripe however is the lack of restore disks. I'm in love with it so far. Keep that in mind when upgrading. Comments: I got this tablet from another retailer but it is truly wonderful.
CPU is faster than my 2. On low power settings I can usually get hr out of the battery and hr on high power. Sold by: Newegg Shipped by Newegg. Learn More. The Tecra M4 lacks a fingerprint scanner, which would both provide security and make it easier to log on in tablet mode; however, it does have a Trusted Platform Module to help protect you from data theft. Like other Toshiba laptops, to keep data safe in the event that it's dropped, the Tecra M4 stops the hard drive from spinning whenever the tablet moves too fast.
For tablets, which are often held on a wobbly arm and are more likely to be dropped, this feature is a necessity. It also came with Toshiba's very cool ConfigFree utility, which has a neat NORAD-like radar graphic that plots the signal strength but not the location of nearby wireless networks.
Toshiba has always been competitive with features and has put more power under the hood of the Tecra M4 than you will find in any other tablet. The Tecra M4 also handily beat the 1. Only the new Acer TravelMate C, with its 2. On the downside, the Toshiba Tecra M4's battery lasted for a mediocre 2 hours, 47 minutes. By contrast, the Toshiba Satellite R15's lasted 4 hours, 42 minutes, and the HP Compaq tc's lasted 4 hours, 56 minutes.
Like most business systems, the Tecra M4 comes with a three-year warranty on the computer and a one-year warranty on the battery. We called at p. That silly TOS update tool never seems to detect anything.

I think I have found drivers for everything else I care to have working.
Speed wise, it works great, but I'm still trying to find a video driver that works well with this chipset. Herbys , Aug 26, Messages: 23 Likes Received: 0 Trophy Points: 5.
You will know where to add these lines, if you look for other lines with very similar structures. Then run setup.

They are not functioning after the upgrade but all else works.
