Holy Wireless UWB Port Replicator, Toshiba!

Filed in archive Ultrawideband by jeff goldman on July 26, 2007

Hot on the heels of yesterday's announcement of six new Certified Wireless USB products comes a new ultrawideband wireless docking station from Toshiba, the positively-Star-Trek-sounding "Toshiba Wireless UWB Port Replicator."

The $500 wireless device, capable of streaming uncompressed video, works with the Toshiba Portege R400-S4834, R400-S4835 and R400-S4933.

As The Inquirer's Nick Farrell points out, the solution does have its limitations. "UWB has limited range and the laptops have to be within three feet of the docking station, and they are legal only in the US," he writes. "But if you are from the US and do not want to move far from your desk, this could be the technology for you..."

The T400 ThinkPad is the much-loved 14.1\" business notebook sold by Lenovo. Since our last review of this notebook Lenovo has added a new high-brightness screen option as well as quietly updated the keyboard structure to hopefully limit some of the flex we noted in our first review. Let\'s see how well this screen works in an active outdoor setting and most importantly find out if the flexing keyboard has been fixed. Read on to find out what we think about the newest generation of the T400.
