So my old tablet kinda blew up tonight--just shutdown with a spark and doesn't turn on anymore. Can't get it fixed cause its pretty old, and my warranty had expired a month a half ago. I have been thinking of purchasing a new tablet PC recently, and now is probably a good time to get one (Since I no longer have one that really works).
I have been comparing a few:
- HP Pavilion tx1000z
- Asus R1 Tablet PC
- Toshiba Portege R400
- HP Compaq TC4400 Tablet PC
- Gateway CX (Tablet PC)
- Lenovo X60 Tablet
I want a smaller laptop this time, not one that feels like I'm carrying dumbbells around. This is where the Lenovo X60 comes in. I have been eyeing this one out for a while (including its predecessor, the X41). It's very nice, small, and I like the color -- but it's a bit expensive. The HP has really good ratings, but the Gateway is cheaper. The HP TX1000z series has an AMD Turion X64 processor. I was a big fan of AMD until Intel came out the the Core Duo's.
The HP is just as light as the X60, but it has a16:9 ratio -- which I don't really like on my notebooks. Actually, most of those, except the Lenovo are 16:9's except the Lenovo.
I am a Technicial Administrator at a major technical University, and we all like to work in 4:3 ratios because it is easier to customize pages, and graphics for those screens (gives you a better perspective of how something will look).
I want to make sure that my new Tablet is light, easily portable, has at least year warranty, and a VGA port (this is a MUST!!! because I have to give atleast 12-15 presentations a week, and I always need to hook up to a projector).
Selecting a new model is an extremely difficult task in my opinion cause there are so many choices.
Let's think......
