I going to buy the first tablet PC with a good GPU to replace my current (and aginng) TC1100. But since the TC1100, not one company ever combined a good GPU with a tablet...and yet they charge a premium for these under powered device. I blame PC manufacturer for killing PC tablet.]]>Dec 28th 2009 12:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/27/gateway-ec18t-acer-aspire-1420p-convertible-tablet-hits-the-fc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/27/gateway-ec18t-acer-aspire-1420p-convertible-tablet-hits-the-fc/Dec 28th 2009 12:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/27/gateway-ec18t-acer-aspire-1420p-convertible-tablet-hits-the-fc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/27/gateway-ec18t-acer-aspire-1420p-convertible-tablet-hits-the-fc/Dec 28th 2009 3:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/27/gateway-ec18t-acer-aspire-1420p-convertible-tablet-hits-the-fc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/27/gateway-ec18t-acer-aspire-1420p-convertible-tablet-hits-the-fc/
Never heard of the C-14X from Gateway... "not one company..."

it will most likely be passive resistive, looking at its 1820ptz brother:

and, Acer should put their version of Android on it. Even better: dual boot their version of Android, and their version of Linux.]]>Dec 28th 2009 1:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/27/gateway-ec18t-acer-aspire-1420p-convertible-tablet-hits-the-fc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/27/gateway-ec18t-acer-aspire-1420p-convertible-tablet-hits-the-fc/
I'd like to see this 1420 offered with the single core SU3500. For my purposes, it can actually outperform the SU2300 and extend the battery life to boot.]]>Dec 28th 2009 2:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/27/gateway-ec18t-acer-aspire-1420p-convertible-tablet-hits-the-fc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/27/gateway-ec18t-acer-aspire-1420p-convertible-tablet-hits-the-fc/Dec 28th 2009 3:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/27/gateway-ec18t-acer-aspire-1420p-convertible-tablet-hits-the-fc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/27/gateway-ec18t-acer-aspire-1420p-convertible-tablet-hits-the-fc/
Because the ATI X12xx family only supports DirectX 9 and doesn't have HD Video Decoding and HDMI with HDCP support. The GMA4500 MHD will support Flash GPU acceleration with DirectX 10.]]>Dec 28th 2009 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/27/gateway-ec18t-acer-aspire-1420p-convertible-tablet-hits-the-fc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/27/gateway-ec18t-acer-aspire-1420p-convertible-tablet-hits-the-fc/
I have pre ordered the 1820pt, but not shure if I should wait and see what the price difference is, pretty much the same hw anyway. Or will the 1420p be WSVGA only?

Came with 2GB with room for an additional memory card to take it to 4GB. Big bucks to load it with 2 4GB DDR3 SODIMMs currently.]]>Dec 28th 2009 10:59AM
