I have the M200 and I really don't care for it too much. Unless you are doing "conventions" and other presentations, it's not too useful. The idea is nice, but whatever. He will end up looking like a corporate jehovah's witness holding it in his arms.
Pros:
-One of Toshiba's better notebooks (that's not saying too much) Major improvement to it's predecessors
-Good for contractors, to "show" their screens w/out moving his laptop.
Cons:
-Proprietary docking/replicator -
Not compatible w/ Port Replicator II/III. If you're a Toshiba shop, then you may want to reconsider the docking/port replicator.
-Battery/HD are set in a bad location making the laptop hot when holding it.
-No internal cd/dvd drive and it still weighs 6.5 lbs.
-2 usb ports / 1 pcmcia slot
-Toshiba will phase this laptop by the end of the year.
As a side note, I like to read forums lengthwise. Works good when you're on the toilet
btw, I voted for the M4!!!!
