On the Edge
The Toshiba Edge Display is a secondary screen that serves as your personal information assistant, keeping you informed of unopened emails, calendar alerts, battery charge, signal strength and more — even when the notebook is closed. So you can get critical information at a glance, without stopping to open your laptop.

Active Notifications
Introducing the world’s first notebook PC with Microsoft Active Notifications. Whether the computer is on or in suspend mode, Active Notifications can automatically receive or retrieve email and calendar items so they’re ready and waiting when you need them, visible on the Toshiba Edge Display.

Elegant Design and Security
Created to harness the innovation in the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system, the Portégé R400 is an exquisite notebook and an elegant Tablet PC all in one. Encased in a scratch-resistant ultraviolet clear-coat case, the 12.1" diagonal backlit LED wide-screen high-brightness display with wide viewing angles, in conjunction with Microsoft Windows Aero, delivers a rich visual experience. And with advanced EasyGuard security features, including a biometric fingerprint reader, multi-level passwords and TPM encryption module, the Portégé R400 is as secure as it is attractive.

Tablet Screen
Having a tablet pc means you can use the screen as if it was a regular paper notebook. Take notes with the stylus pen directly on the screen. Breeze through spreadsheets with the pen, as well.

Connections
Depending upon your configuration, you can get access anywhere there is a cell phone signal. Toshiba’s ConfigFree software can automatically connect you to the strongest, fastest signal, switching between Verizon EVDO, Wi-Fi, Gigabit and Ethernet connections.
