Editorial Review:
The Toshiba Satellite R15-S829 Tablet PC combines the power of advanced notebook technology with the practicality and comfort of pen and paper. The R15's 14.1 screen can be twisted 180 degrees and folded flat against the keyboard for full tablet mode, enabling you to take notes and write emails without using your keyboard and browse the Web with a pen. The shock protection system provides this notebook with a higher impact protection (via advanced rubber padding) around key hardware components. Hardware features include an 80 GB hard drive, 1.7 GHz Pentium M (Centrino) processor, 512 MB of installed RAM (2 GB maximum), multi-format/dual-layer DVD and CD burner, 54g wi-fi connectivity, and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005.
The Basics
- Hard Drive: The 80 GB hard drive (at a fast 5400 RPM) is becoming average in size for notebook PCs, and it's roomy enough to store business productivity applications, all your important documents and presentations, and a good-sized digital audio and video library.
- Processor: The 1.7 GHz Pentium M 735 (Centrino) processor is in the lower third of the speed spectrum for this processor class (January 2006). It is well equipped for office productivity software tasks, from complex spreadsheets to databases. The Pentium M processor is designed specifically for low-power mobile usage, and it features the latest in power-saving technologies--ensuring you push your battery and productivity to the max. It also has a large 2 MB L2 cache--which will help speed up your system's performance--and a 400 MHz front-side bus (FSB).
- Memory: The 512 MB of installed RAM (DDR333, 2 x 256 MB) is a good start for running office productivity and presentation software, but you'll want to take advantage of the roomy 2 GB of total RAM capacity (2 x 1 GB) for such multimedia needs as video editing and immersive 3D gaming.
- CD/DVD Drive: Offering the latest in DVD writing technology, the multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer DVD+R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. For DVD-R/RW discs, it has a 8x write/4x rewrite speed, while for DVD+R/RW discs it has a 4x write/4x rewrite speed. For double-layer DVD+R, it has a 2x write speed. For CDs, it has a 24x write/24x rewrite speed. It also offers an 8x DVD-ROM read speed and 3x DVD-RAM write speed.
- Keyboard & Mouse: This Tablet PC has a Toshiba Digitizer pen,an 85-key keyboard with 13 function keys, and a two-button touchpad.

Rating:  - Great product for the price.
I had a 10" Acer Travelmate tablet that weighed 3 pounds to start out with, which was fantastic because it was small and easy to take to my classes, but there was no fan in the unit and there were times where I would reach down to pick it up and it would literally burn my hand, which made setting it on my lap impossible. There was also no CD drive. I knew I had to get something better, and the Toshiba Satellite is what I found.
First I must say I was pleasantly surprised, as I bought ... Read More
Rating: - It's a Tablet PC for an economic budget + best brand.

Always Tablet PC's were expensive, i always wanted to own one, when the prices began from $1,500 - 2,500 in the old days, till my eyes catched this tablet, coming to the specs and the user reviews i would add also.

Rating: - Great product
I read lots of reviews on Toshiba R15-S929 before I purchased it from Amazon, and not all of them are fair enough with this product.
The only drawback here is the fan, which is really a bit noisy. As for the weight, you should keep in mind that it is not a tablet pc, but a laptop that converts into a tablet pc. I think that some users do not know what to expect from the items they buy and they expect miracles.
My machine came with a memory stick of 512Mb, so I just bought another 1Mb to ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent, Great Value
I love this tablet pc. It's great to run a pc with the option of using the stylus pen or touchpad instead of a mouse. (...) I haven't used the cd/dvd burner yet, but, I'm glad it is included. This pc has everything I need. The only drawback for me was getting used to the 14" screen, which is great for watching movies, but, makes the laptop big and and a little heavier than I would like. A 12" screen would be perfect. Overall, TOSHIBA earned my 4 stars.
