I truly love "writing" on my tablet laptops. I have had several . as of
right now I have 3 . . . one or two I will sell.
My recent list of tablets are-
Fujitsu P1510 -Tablet o/s (This was by far the best computer of the Small
tablet variety-the touch screen on this computer was by far the Best! I had
already upgraded it as much as I could. Needed more ram! By the time I had
decided to replace it I had used Vista. I love Vista but my Fujitsu couldn't
be upgraded to that o/s.)
Sony UX Series-Tablet o/s and Vista. Had 2 of these computers. By the time I
had the second one the HTC was coming out. It was "supposed" to Come with
voice 'but by the time of the actual shipping there wasn't voice. Just data
with your SIM card.. Same with the Sony. SlM data only . . People were
trying to get voice on the Sony. you could put your SIM card in a slot and
always be connected. but no luck with voice. Both Sony machines were very
nice but too small.
HTC Shift -Vista (Sold my Sony and bought this. Great little UMPC- not only
does it come with Vista, but it also has windows mobile 6 in a feature
called "snap-vue.". Instant on - No waiting for windows to boot to check
your email or get a phone number. My Palm Life drive went to my
granddaughter. If you only use WinMo with the extended battery I bought, you
could go for maybe 5 days without having to charge it.)
HP TX2500- Vista- (Really needed to upgrade the P1510 So I bought the HP.
This Tablet felt Huge! compared to my (now sold) Fujitsu. I wished I never
parted with the Fujitsu. Did not like touch with the stylus, finger or
digitizer pen on the HP. so I bought the P1620 with the intention of selling
the HP. . The P1620 arrived! Needed to transfer all my stuff AGAIN to the
P1620 and list the HP on eBay.)
Fujitsu P1620 -Vista -(what a nightmare. Fujitsu added Something called
"palm guard" so that if you were writing on the tablet your Palm wouldn't
get in-the way and cause vectoring. . . I think that is what it is called.
The machine is beautiful Great quality everywhere you look... - more ram.
more storage. and Vista! but the screen has a new touch. almost completely
unresponsive to touch. Take my word _ unless you aren't afraid to pound your
stylus on a glass screen _don't buy this until they come up with a cure!
Lucky for me Fujitsu refunded all my money like they did with the. . .
Fujitsu U800 I bought before the Sony. (I think) I didn't mention it because
there was nothing good or bad I can think of to say about it. Didn't have it
for more than a few days before returning it to Fujitsu. It was to large to
be a UMPC and too Small to be a laptop replacement and also had the same
Palm guard (I think) as the P1620. . . BTW. . . Fujitsu allows returns with
NO restocking fees. A BIG PLUS! and reason to buy direct from them.
Flybook V5 -Vista- Arrived yesterday. . . wow-it sure is pretty. . Same size
as the P1510. . Same great screen as the P1510 . . . High gloss like the
HP... Not a fan of that (The P1510 did not have a High Gloss screen).. .
AND. . . It is PINK. . . Not the Pepto Bismol color they show in ads. Not
bubblegum pink _ but a metallic looking Hot pink. It has the SIM card data
feature. WITH voice. I have already tested that. and it works. GPS too I
think. 4 gigs of ram. (only 60 gig hard drive) (my HP has 250) and a Camera
for conference calls (if you don't mind people seeing you with "bed hair"
and your flannel PJ's) The downside is - no button to rotate the screen. you
need to open a utility to rotate and the pen icon doesn't appear on it's
own. Gotta click the icon to begin writing. . . That is all I can say with
just a dozen hours use.
The writing pad on my HP has a feature that none of the others do. all of
them put the word in type-directly under your handwriting. but on the HP not
only can I click on the "type' to edit the word - - I can delete or change a
single letter in the word - with all other versions of Vista I can only
delete the word if the correct spelling isn't one of my choices in editing.
Would the fact that my HP is also the only one that has a digitizer pen (or
you can also turn on touch and use your finger.) be the reason? or is it a
feature HP added to the tablet: Whatever the reason _ I like it.
as of today I know that I gotta sell one or two of the three I have left.
For sure the HTC will be the first to go., but the HP is sort of growing on
me.
OH! Forgot to mention. .. . . Bought the HP Touchsmart a month ago when my
desktop crashed. Beautiful. Large 22" screen. Great sound. much more room On
my desk. But . . . . . I haven't touched the screen since day one! Tried
playing Mah Jong on it and my arm was tired from holding it up and reaching
for the screen before I could finish the game.
right now I have 3 . . . one or two I will sell.
