A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
A grand for the U810 is practically nothing compared to what other markets are paying. Nicely done, Fujitsu.
HP is selling a model at Circuit City and Best Buy for less than $1300 which is TABLET and has a built in webcamera.
The 11 Hour battery life is nice, but I couldn't see myself getting a laptop without a built in camera.
the hp you are talking about does not have an active digitizer...ie wacom
Don't bother with the HP. I bought one the ones that you are talking about and it sucked. The digitizer is awful and it only got a little over two hours on the battery. On the bright side it was cheap. Nebraska Furniture Mart pricematched it to a refurbished one online. I think it was $1050. I still returned it. Still looking for a replacement for my TC1100.
can it play doom?
thatd be fun... doom on a tablet pc...
I have tried it....... It was not as fun as I thought it would be :(
Sigh. I wish someone would create a nice sleek touchscreen tablet PC.
One that's no super heavy, super bulky, ugly, built-in features, and just appealing.
Today's are great function wise, but design is boring. Sigh. Some day.
Those are called UMPCs
you try the Thinkpad X61 tablet? Pretty good set of features, great battery life, etc. Only thing is its slightly on the heavy side (4.5 lbs with extended battery) and slightly expensive (nicely configured is around $2700 - $3000, but it starts at $1700 or so).
Otherwise:
Those specs look pretty good, wait for the reviews though, there are a lot of tablets out there that look good on paper but are terrible in real-life conditions. I'm waiting for a Thinkpad tablet refresh, get it a little lighter, Penryn, etc. by next June or so before I go off to college, because Thinkpads always have the highest quality even after being sold to Lenovo. If in the market now, I'd still get a Thinkpad unless this Fujitsu system turns out to be really outstanding.
That's the keyboard from my Lenovo T60p. As evident by the fact that I know it by sight scrolling through a bunch of blogs, yes it is a very good thing. IMHO, the best by far in the laptop business. I won't get my hopes up (it's only a grand), but who knows it may be well manufactured and turn out to be a steal.
Say what? The keyboard on the machine in the photo is not the same as a T60p keyboard. It's black, and it has a pointing stick of some sort, but it's not a T60 series keyboard at all.
It is. It's the same mechanical structure, though obviously labeled differently. Look at the layout and proportions, the two fwd and back keys above the left and right arrows, and placement of the super and menu keys.
Keep in mind that Lenovo doesn't design or manufacture that keyboard, they outsource the work to smaller companies; so it's not uncommon to have two EOL computer manufacturers with similar parts.
The u810 mentioned in the first sentance is one of those UMPCs
