OK, so I've read the posts here and I've read the reviews on the i-net. Seems the Toshiba gets rave reviews everywhere.

I'm looking to replace my Toshiba laptop, and it looks like the new tablet will be the way to go for me. I do a lot of software developement so a keyboard is a must. I kind of like the slate form factor, but I do most of my coding in my recliner with my computer on my lap (no, not a joke!). That pretty much locks me into covertable or hybrid. I like the 12" screen, so that narrows it even further. Looks like the Toshiba is the way to go for me.

Everyone still lovin' the Toshiba?
Anyone get the Toshiba and wish they had of gotten a slate instead?

I owned an Acer (which I liked) and then a Compaq (which I loved - except to its sluggishness - one can say that in the Toshiba forum) and now the Toshiba.

I would also point out that 'issue and problem' posts in the Toshiba forum are wonderfully limited.

The speed and the power of the Toshiba are simply exceptional.

However, it is heavy and bulky compared to most of the other tablet PC's.

I also like the convertability of the Toshiba, In 6.543 seconds (or less) you can move from/to a traditional laptop to/from a tablet.

Personally I preferred the Compaq screen size for two reasons:

The screen resolution looks better on the small screen.

Ironically, using some SW (Windows Journal)- there is too much real estate to traverse with a pen with the larger screen!

As you may have read, this Toshiba is getting exceptional reviews as a normal laptop, let alone all of the added benefits of MS Windows XP tablet version with this Toshiba.

Hope that this helps!

I've had my Toshiba 3505 since the day of release and find that it is an excellent machine. It works great as a simple notebook and handles almost all of my programs without any issues at all. However as an artist I find it troublesome that there is still a problem with the Wacom drivers not working correctly in legacy art programs such as Photoshop and Painter. Alias/Wavefront's Sketchbook Pro works well enough that I rarely use painter, and only use photoshop for minor things. It helps greatly that I was able to upgrade the memory to 1gb as well which most of the others don't support if I remember correctly. I've never had a problem with the battery running out at inconvienent times and it wakes up from standbye and hibernation quick enough that it hasn't caused me problems in meetings for work either.

I suppose it really depends on what you want to do with the machine. Personally after working on it for a while I find that I rarely use the notebook function of the system at all, except for proping it up to watch movies while I'm waiting for things. I like the extra screen size but wish that I could run the resolution higher as well, but I feel that way even on my 20inch 1600x1200 dell lcd that's connected to my workstation. The thing that I wish the most though is that it would have a wider angle of visibility on the screen. At times it's hard to work on because the screen gets a irridecent coloring because i'm holding it at a weird angle.

All in all if I had to buy another one I'd probably go for the toshiba again. It's still the most powerful tablet available which is important for graphics work.

I went from Toshiba subnotebooks (Portege 3440, 3480, 3490 and Libretto L3 and L5)to the 3500. for me it is too big, too heavy, poor battery life, and runs too hot. CPU performance is great. I also agree that there is too much real estate to traverse with the larger screen.
I found I rarely used the tablet format. That's why I went with the slates. The Fujitsu is my favorite - I'll wait to see after the NEC comes out.

What Toshiba will you be replacing?

Thanks for the comments folks! Good to hear a "fresh" round now that more 3500's have hit the streets and people have had a chance to use them.

I see your comments and will keep them in mind. My primary use for this computer will be laptop replacement. I also want to throw my notepad in the trash and clean up my desk some (hence I think the tablet features are the ticket!).

I'm replacing my Toshiba Satellite 2775XDVD. This has been a great computer. Not one day of trouble from it. Unfortunately at 192 MB of memory it's showing it's age. I've got to install Visual Studio .net on it and I wince at the thought of how it will perform. I also love the Fujitsu, but based on my intended uses, I really think the attached keyboard (or ability to attach like the Compaq) it really a must.

I moved from a Dell Insperion 8100. I realize that many have stated that the Toshiba runs hot. My Dell was extremely hot. To the point that it would possibly burn your legs. It was very uncomfortable at times just on your lap. My Toshiba 3500 has never gotten this hot. In fact with normal use it has never gotten so hot that I would not carry it resting on my arm. I have noticed that when plugged in and charging the battery that it does in fact get fairly warm, but still not like my Dell.

Overall I am pleased with my Toshiba. It has taken the place of my Dell completely. It is the only system I use at work now. I really like the screen especially when doing spread sheets. This is definately where the larger screen come in handy. I realize that 1024X768 is the same regardless of screen size, but the size of the text is definately different.

I will say the only thing that I don't like about the Toshiba is its lack of a docking station or port replicator. I really wish when my tablet was plugged into an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, cd rom, printer, etc etc...... That I could easily grab it and use it as a slate. Without a docking station or port replicator this is not as easy as it is with the true slates that have the docking option. I find that this does limit my use of the Toshiba as a tablet while at my desk. If Toshiba was to fix this I think they would have the perfect convertable.

I will also add that I like having the CF, SD and PC Card slots. I know others don't understand why you would need all of these but I use them all.

Good Luck! You will enjoy any tablet you buy!:D

I recently switched from a Tecra 9000 to the Portege 3505 and have had no problems. I normally use a keyboard, but need the tablet to do tasks like visio, surfing the web and other tasks that are particularly suited for a stylus versus the mouse.

The 3505 is over a pound lighter than my tecra 9000, but it much slower. However, the tradeoff for tablet capacbilities is worth it. 3505 runs just as hot as my 9000.

Battery life is shorter than I'd like -- I'm used to the dual batteries in the 9000 which gave about 4.5-5.5 hours of battery life. I'm lucky if I get 2.5 hours out of the 3505.

All in all, I'd make the switch again in a heartbeat.

Things to improve in future versions:
-shave another 1-1.5 lbs off the weight
-make it a bit slimmer
-extended battery life

Benchobi,
As a TC1k owner, I cannot comment on the Toshiba, other to to ditto what folks said about generally rave reviews. There are a number of people in the TC1k forum using it for development, but I thiknk the key for them is that they also do a good bit of slate work (notetaking, etc.). I love my TC1k, but do admit it is slower than some of the others for some tasks, primarily program launches. One progs are launched they are fine, and even multiple apps loaded are no problem. The one advantage I do see with the TC1k is the removable keyboard, wish Toshiba had done that, I would own one right now!

Bottom line, try and decide if you need to use slate mode very often and are concerned on the weight. I personally think both are good machines, but if doing straight development work, I'd probably nod to the Toshiba!

Good luck on your choice!

Edwood,

I've heard other reports on the drivers as well. I've seen some stuff in the last few days that's gotten me discouraged (see thread on color banding on this site, for one).

The local CompUSA has them in stock supposedly so I'm going to go by there tomorrow and play with one.

Tabpcman,

I like the HP. I'm just not sure how I feel about the Crusoe processor yet. If they had a 12" screen I probably would put it high on my list even with the Crusoe. Lack of pressure sensitivity doesn't bother me, and I like the glass covered screen. I also like the ability to drop the keyboard and go slate (Toshiba, are you listening?!?!?). I just don't know if I can go with the HP as my primary computer. I'll try one out before I buy, definitely.

People complaining about the battery life have apparently never used a real laptop. Whenever you jam a bunch of electronics into a small case...it will get hot without venellation. It has a fan, but it can only do so much people.

Ok...the Crusoe processor. Don't. Unless you are using your tablet for integrated devices...such as only the control for your microwave or sterio. That's what the Crusoe was designed for...not Laptops/Tablets.

The Digitizer:
Never had problems...neither had my friend (owned one since Nov. 2002)

The Graphics:
Hasn't caused a problem. It can run quake 3. Not in the worlds best look...but without slowing down.

Isn't there a Wacom driver that's supposet to fix the problem with Photoshop? Or is it so that it doesn't work with the Toshiba?

I saw a post a post here regarding cursor delay. I notice that my cursor goes buggy when both tethered or untethered to the power outlet. Anyone have this problem because I often experience cursor delay when using the touchpad?

Otherwise I love my 3505 and wouldn't part with it.
