JK over at his run did some research with interesting results. Evidently, it seems that tablets have additional bulk over the equivalent notebook models. Perhaps its the hinge, perhaps its the digitizer. Maybe someone can shed some light.

Read On : jkOnTheRun: Coffee break- Are Tablet PCs lighter than notebooks? You’ll be surprised.

No sooner has the the bludgeoned CPU of Dell’s last victim cooled down and they have seen fit to release yet another video clip of electronic execution. The helpless victim this time, in promotion of Dell’s own upcoming Latitude Tablet PC, is a Toshiba M400 (as IDed by Rob Bushway) and the executioner’s ‘overkill’ weapon [...]

You’ll remember back in April that we introduced you to Snapter, a software based scanning solution that utilises a digital camera as its primary means of input? Well Sarasin at Atiz has dropped me an email announcing that the software has been incarnated into a new version and renamed Snapter Ice 2.0. It seems our [...]

Lightweight and portable, long batterylife or powerful. Pick two.

Unfortunately its impossible for tablet PC designers to suit everyone’s individual needs. Power requires large energy consumption, longer battery life requires a larger battery and the list of effects goes on.

Fortunately with advances in batteries, miniaturization and more power efficient processors, notebooks and tablets are becoming [...]

Having a tablet lets you do many tasks with more interaction than you would otherwise. Many student tablet owners decide to digitize their books for easier reference and a lighter daily load, but digital books also have other advantages. They’re normal text and therefore you can do anything with them you can do to text, [...]

LAPTOP Magazine posted an article for their Back to School special listing five excellent reasons to get a tablet if you’re a student (note their primary source :-P).

The X61 vs Everthing Else - Part 2 (better late than never)

It’s a fact that students are not the most wealthy people. It’s a combination of being busy studying and being lazy. It’s these facts that make it difficult for most students to afford desireable pieces of tech like tablet PCs.

You may have realised that [...]

While you can’t beat reviews like the ones on GottaBeMobile and TabletPCReview–with video, technical specs, and benchmarks–this review is not really like that (except that my Vista score is a 3.4). It will be full of opinions because that’s what I do. You have been warned. To summarize, I really like the X61. I think every student [...]

Just a quick pointer to a superbly comprehensive review of Lenovo’s X61 Tablet PC offered up by new college student Jeremy Erickson. Word is he likes it a whole lot:

“….the X61t blew all my expectations away. It is by far, the most functional and versatile machine I have used to date.”

It’s nice reading a review [...]
