The price? Dunno.
The M4 is on par with most standard notebooks in terms of weight, dimensions, and features. I hope the price is too.
The size of the M4 puts it in the same class as the Toshiba Satellite R10/R15. The M4, with its higher display resolution, is better suited for those who need more screen real-estate, such as developers, graphic artists, and engineers.
Personally, I hope Toshiba updates the Portege M200. I'd rather go for a little more mobility--a.k.a lighter and smaller machine--than what the M4 or Toshiba Satellite R10/R15 have to offer.
