Apart from an faster hard drive and a Bluetooth radio, both of which are optional, the TMĀ 803LCi incorporates all the features that users might expect from a mobile high-end desktop replacement.

In terms of the sound, the TM803LCi does not set any new standards. Although the high and medium sounds are pretty clear from both loudspeakers beneath the wrist pad, the device does not produce a full bass sound.
