Details on the Toshiba Portégé M780 tablet computer have popped up in Italy. And after the first glance at both the shiny photo above and its specs, hopefully we'll see this professional-minded laptop stateside soon.

Targeted towards the business-minded, Toshiba has included Windows 7 Touch on that 12.1-inch swiveling display, allowing users to work on sketches and notes. To further draw in the professional on-the-go (or really clumsy), the Portégé M780 is built with a semi-rugged case and totes a spill-resistant keyboard to deflect some of that coffee.

What is really getting some attention is the power behind the Toshiba tablet laptop. Buyers will have the option between Intel Core i3 and Core i5 processors.

Other significant specs include:

  • 12.1-inch HD TruBriteTouch LED backlit display (1200 x 800 resolution)
  • 8 GB DDR3 memory
  • 2.5-inch HDD or SSD
  • DVD-SuperMulti +-R DL optical drive
  • Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
  • 802.11n Wi-Fi
  • Two USB 2.0 ports
  • Audio in/outputs
  • Built-in HD microphone
  • Built-in webcam
  • Fingerprint scanner
  • Measurements: 12.1 x 9.4 x 1.6-inches; weighs 4.4-lbs.

It's hasn't been posted to Toshiba's US site yet, nor do we have a price or release date, but it could turn out to be quite a nice tablet computer.
