However there have been Tablet PC's with dedicated graphics units that focus less on the mobile experience and understand that they are more for Photoshop work or for people who think that Tablet usage is not a priority, Gateway comes to mind - http://www.gateway.com/systems/product/529668180.php although the X2300HD is definitely not a powerhouse by any stretch of the imagination, it does have 128 MB RAM on-board the GPU (only a 1280x768 screen though so that's not that bad), a 14" screen (most tablets are 12"), a DVD drive built into the chassis, and a $1300 price which is very cheap for a new tablet - do keep in mind though that machine has not been updated to Santa Rosa yet.]]>Jan 24th 2009 10:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/Jan 24th 2009 10:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/Jan 24th 2009 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/Jan 24th 2009 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/Jan 24th 2009 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/Jan 24th 2009 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/Jan 24th 2009 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/Jan 24th 2009 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/Jan 24th 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/Jan 24th 2009 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/

Besides a few upgrades and sensible design changes (like the WWAN antenna), this looks exactly like an XT with upgraded guts. Maybe they really did get their design right the first time, by researching heavily and not rushing to the market.

I wonder if the Intel integrated graphics will actually outperform the ATI chip in the XT, or if it was a battery-related change.]]>Jan 24th 2009 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/
At least I hope there's battery improvements, with my current XT using an SSD, I get about 3 hours maximum.]]>Jan 24th 2009 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/
I don't need it (thus, haven't tried it), but Dell claims it makes some pretty impressive improvements to the battery life.]]>Jan 24th 2009 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/Jan 24th 2009 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/
I got a battery slice on eBay very lightly used for ~$100.00 shipped, and saw my battery life basically more than double. Easily 5 - 6 hours of balanced use with wifi on and the brightness somewhere midway. I don't know why they don't just ship out those with all of them at this rate. It really really needs that battery.

I think a lot of the battery drain was coming from that power-hungry and somewhat inferior ATI chipset they went with. If you remember, there were a lot of hard locking issues caused by the northbridge and graphics drivers, which led to a lot of confusion. I had similar problems until I mobility modded some of the latest catalysts after installing the dell drivers (you need to do so to get the northbridge drives). ]]>Jan 24th 2009 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/15" multi touch tablets?]]>Jan 24th 2009 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/
The problem is that tablets got labelled as mainly business & education machines, so most of them are geared around small, portable form factors and sacrificing performance for battery life. If Windows 7 takes off and companies jump on the multitouch bandwagon that'll hopefully change though.]]>Jan 24th 2009 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/Jan 24th 2009 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/Jan 24th 2009 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/Jan 24th 2009 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/Jan 24th 2009 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/24/dell-latitude-xt2-shows-up-in-a-flurry-of-documentation/
