The new M700 Tablet PC incorporates innovative technologies such as the proprietary Toshiba fingerprint system, automatic detection capabilities and repair of faults and mechanism to safeguard confidential data through encryption technology and digital signatures, among others.
Toshiba through its Computer Systems Division introduced the latest technology announcing their new Portégé M700, an ultraportable notebook, with high performance, latest Intel Centrino vPro processor technology and convertible to function of Tablet PC.
The Tablet PC system provides the user benefits such as taking notes, enter text, navigate or interact with the screen using a stylus or through touch.
