The Latest in Portable Computing

Gateway Tablet PC

It’s from Gateway and it depends on who you talk to as to whether this is really a laptop or a tablet PC or as Gateway calls it, a Convertible Notebook.

Whatever you might call it it’s just been released in the US and if I lived in the US then I could definitely see one in my future. After all, if it’s good enough for Bill then it certainly is good enough for me :)

    My company got a few and I had to set up about 25 of them last week. They are pretty good and I wouldn’t mind having one for my self.

    One problem is that the battery looks weird and adds weight to the already pretty heavy body (for a tablet)

    Second I can’t find out how many levels of pressure sensitivity the screen has. I can’t find it on any support document either.

    I’m a little worried that the screen might get loose after a while from all that spinning. I hope I’m wrong.

    G’day Khurrum thanks for your comments.

    I think you’ve raised a couple of very important concerns there. If anything is going to break then it’s always going to be at the point where there is the most stress and that point on a tablet would have to be where the screen pivots.

    After I made the post I also realised that I would probably give a table nightmares. Even back in the day where I worked for others I printed everything because no one could understand my handwriting.

    After 4 years of using a keyboard almost full time even my printing has reached the point where people can’t read it so what hope would a tablet have of coping with my scrawl? :)
