    Duration of ownership:1

    Strengths: Good System

    Weaknesses: Too Expensive

    Overall Evaluation: I think that the tablet is way too expensive and should be at least 450$ or less. It is a very good working computer and should be that price. It would sell more.

    Duration of ownership:5 Weeks

    Strengths: Easy to use, bright, clear screen, long battery life

    Weaknesses: a bit heavier than i had expected, and the laptop itself is not as attractive as others

    Overall Evaluation: I got this laptop about 1 month ago for my birthday. Since then, it's worked very well for me, although i do have a complaint about the screen. About 2 weeks after i got it, tiny dots that looked like dust appeared behind the screen, and i have no idea what to do about them. There is also a larger more noticeable dot near the bottom of the screen... I guess i just need to take it back to comp usa and let them fix it... Any way, its very easy to use the laptop and then convert it to tablet mode. The Pen writes smoothly and where you store it on the side is very accessable. On other tablets, the pen is stuck on the side of the screen :/ The sound quality is average, it sounds better when you use headphones. There are also very helpful function keys at the top that allow you to change the brightness of the screen or turn the mousepad off and on. Very handy for when you are writing an email or a letter. The battery life is great, giving about 5 hours if you don't run any major programs. All in all, I love my laptop and would recommend this to anyone wishing to purchase their own Tablet PC

    Strengths: I tried the NEC, the Avaretec and read rheems about others, before getting the R15. It is quick, light and I find the screen very clear. Toshiba put it all together in this one.

    Weaknesses: The only thing so far is that the pen holder is tricky to use, causing my wife with longer fingernails some problem to click it into place. And wish it had a DVD burner.

    Overall Evaluation: I bought the R15 for my wife since she is just beginning to use a computer. The pen and liquid ink works well, the chip is really fast and the design is very practical. I find the Tablet OS is quicker than XP. Wireless is excellent and effortless. Had to turn off the Hard Disk message everytime I moved the unit, with it giving notice that the HDD had been jarred. Had never seen that before in normal usage. Has not affected operating however. At this point truly happy with it. Will update as time goes on.
