all i can say is that this thing, this reptilian alien entity that was delivered to my house today is the freshest computer I have ever seen in my life!!!!!! The screen is dazzling, the design is so futuristic and appealing to the eye, it IS SO NOT HEAVY, contrary to what people have said. It is so light that i thought they didn't put it in the box!!!!
It is a masterpiece of engineering and design. Hope it works OK for a long time!!!!!!!
Took exactly ONE WEEK from when i ordered it to get to my house via 2 day air.
WOW.
I'm SOOOOOO Jealous!!! hehe
I ordered mine Saturday & it didn't even get past the credit verefication stage yet....I got the overnight shipping too.
I hope it is at least processing soon.
Just outta curiosity, did you have it customized? What did you get?
Thanks.
Congratz on your new system & have fun!

totally jacked up.....everything!!!
I was contemplating whether to buy a GW or a Toshiba. I gave up on GW recently because they did not support the WACOM technology I need for what I want the machine for. Until today ..I had only seen the R15 from Toshiba and was still luke warm about it.
But today I drove across town and went into this BestBuy ...AND THERE IT WAS...A TECRA! For a while I couldn't touch it ..I stood frozen ..and all I could do was stare at it!!
I could feel the quality built in the machine...and I am convinced its miles above its cousin the R10.
After an hour checking out the machine .. on the way out I passed ... a GW ..and yes ..I just passed it and kept on walking... wondering what was I thinking? But the answer is there to see ..just cruise over to GW's site and look ..nothing but problems! Yes ..I too am jealous ... I must get that machine!
TBSUSER,
Wow! That is great news that BestBuy is displaying Tecra, by which, I assumme you mean the M4, correct? Also, what state are you in? I am in OH and just stopped by BestBuy today but didn't see any Toshiba TPC on display, not even the R15 any more. Their website indicates that the only Toshiba TPC they carry is the r15, but is curretnly sold out.
Maybe, they just haven't updated their website yet and, depending on where you are, the M4 may just started hitting their display tables. Would really be great if they would hurry up and put the M4 on display across the nation ASAP.
Hope seeing one in person will help you making your decision. Me too, was going back and forth between a Toshiba and the GW. Whatever you finally decided to go with, please update here. Will look forward to hear more good news from you.
@err_fatale,
Congratulation! I may very likely end up with one M4 as well. Just want to see if there is going to be another discount come Feb. I am kicking my self every day though, knowing that I am missing out on works that heavily depending on a TPC. Keep on sharing whatever you may be doing with your new, if I may say, baby. Kindly share more of your view and experiences.
Btw, what may have been your other TPC considerations besides the M4? What finally pushed you into getting the M4? From the few initial thought above, sounded like you shouldn't have any reservation at all after receiving the M4. If I am wrong, kindly continue to share here.
@ errica,
I am more jealous of you and err_fatale!!!:).
Congratulation as well. Soon enough, it shall be in your hand. I would also like to ask you the last few questions I asked of err_fatale, concerning what encouraged you to plunge in with the M4 along with what other options were you looking at? I am excited for you and also look forward to hear more reviews from you.
Best regards,
Techson
You guys are driving me crazy. I have a M200 and it is pretty much to the point of I need to replace it. This is the first time that I have ever kept a machine this long and I still love it.
Right now I am going crazy trying to decide on wether to buy a M4 or wait for the new machines. But the M4 has so much that I want.
Congrats on the new machine.
yeah i was gonna wait until the m400 came out, but lack of dedicated video processor and small screen size killed it. I wanted something NOW, not 1 to 2 months. I can always EBAY it or sell it to a friend in a few months....I actually bought the Gateway cx2608 also for my girlfriend and we love that too. We had an issue with the pen, gateway overnighted (3 days) us a new one that works fine. It doesn't have all of the features of the m4, Wacom digitizer, etc. but for $1200 bucks it's a great machine and looks almost as cool as the Tecra!!!
I am just amazed by this technology period. The fact that it exists and is available to end-user/comsumers like myself at a relatively affordable price (after saving and saving!!!!) blows me away. Imagine how much something like this would have cost if it was around 10-15 years ago!!!!!! It would have been in the tens of thousands, believe me, being so powerful and light/portable?????!!!! people would have put mortgages on their homes to have it, now we take these things almost for granted it seems.....there are so many innovations, they almost obscure one another at this point...
OK. See what happnes. I could not take it anymore, I just ordered a maxxed out M4. Except for memory of course... not paying toshiba's prices.
Techson,
I live in GA .. Atlanta suburbs. Tons of BB in this area ..but not all BB is the same. The one I went to is like a super BB ..in a zip code thats rated the fastest growing area in the US. The Tecra was actually placed in their business section and was a display model only. You had to order the real thing from their website. I'm kinda holding out for better bargain myself ...but I beginning to loose it!!
Tablets really are some Star Trek type of shxt. Always feel a little more futuristic when I'm using mine :)
