New Computer - Toshiba Tablet

After months of thinking about it, I bought a new tablet computer two days ago. I have been lusting after a tablet for some time, and have been thinking of several very interesting possibilities the platform presents for a law practice. After months of thinking, researching, and debating, I decided to buy the Toshiba Portege M205-S810.

I went with the M205 primarily for two reasons. First, its a convertible (a laptop and a tablet). I’m not ready to ditch the keyboard, and I think the combo approach is best. The slate form factor may work in certain environments, but is not likely to work well in mine. Second, the M205 is being heralded by experts and the community alike as the best tablet yet. The specs are great, and if the tablet experts are happy, I figured I would be as well.

I plan to post some general thoughts on the tablet platform from time to time, and welcome any and all questions and comments regarding the same. Also, I’ll create posts that summarize any helpful resources I find along the way.

For starters, try the following:
