Toshiba Portégé R400 is the world's first notebook computer with the ability to automatically synchronize e-mail and calendar events through the integration of Microsoft's Active Notifications. This exclusive technology helps ensure accurate and timely information is available to the user - whether the system is on or in suspend mode. To assist with this synchronization process, the Portege R400 features Toshiba's ConfigFree®, which helps detect and connect to the strongest and most reliable network connection available. | To further enhance the functionality of the system's automatic e-mail synchronization capabilities, the company added the Toshiba Edge Display to the Portege R400. Located on the front edge of the Portege R400, this secondary display serves as the user's Personal Information Assistant allowing the user to easily monitor his/her inbox and calendar activity. To ensure full benefits of the convertible design, the Toshiba Edge Display is viewable in notebook or tablet mode and even when the unit is stored in a carrying case.
With the Portege R400, Toshiba is announcing the world's first wirelessly dockable notebook computer. This seamless approach eliminates the daily hassle of connecting and disconnecting peripherals and delivers the convenience and simplicity that mobile users demand. Through the integration of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology with wireless digital video capabilities, the Portege R400 docking experience is designed specifically for desktop use and can automatically connect when the notebook comes within proximity of the Toshiba Wireless Port Replicator. The Toshiba Wireless Port Replicator will be compatible with new Portege R400 models.
As a convertible notebook computer, the Portege R400 combines a patent pending elevated rotational hinge2 and a 12.1-inch diagonal widescreen LED backlit high-brightness display with wide viewing angle. This screen technology combined with Microsoft Windows Aero™ delivers a rich and brilliant visual computing experience.
A bold design statement, Toshiba employed a dramatic white and black color scheme to the Portege R400. This distinctive approach delivers a level of elegance and sophistication to satisfy the needs of successful mobile professionals, discriminating technology enthusiasts, C-level executives and small business entrepreneurs. The high-gloss finish of the Portege R400 features an ultraviolet, clear coat for greater scratch-resistant than standard paint.
The integration of a biometric fingerprint reader, multi-level passwords and a TPM 1.2 encryption module as part of the company's exclusive EasyGuard™ technology3 helps safeguard the Portege R400 against unauthorized access, data theft, and virtual attacks. This sophisticated, yet simple, strategy helps preserve confidential company data and sensitive personal information to deliver a high level of tranquility to Portege R400 users.

Customers can also choose to upgrade the notebook's service plans, including up to four years of extended service plans.
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. The Personal Information Assistant display is visible even when the system is closed or off, ensuring that you don't miss being notified of new emails or calendar items.
