@atomdragon4 Sorry atomdragon… not a chance.
@oztabletpc OK well can you recommend me a business tablet for less than £300? Thanks!
@atomdragon4 This is the best, there are lots of cheaper alternatives though. Most businesses can justify the cost in time savings in a matter of weeks. Purchasing for an individual is a bit tougher…
I’m in love with this but damn, it costs so much =(
@mehranmontreal What, not great for 3D gaming..? That’s about all I can think of. This tablet has the full functionality of a laptop, it even has a clip on keyboard / stand and a desktop docking station. For me, there are simply no disadvantages.
You didn’t disadvantages of tablet pc!!
@DragonKid562 Yes, this tablet has an Active Digitizer (smart digital pen) which is pressure sensitive. Great for photoshop etc.
is it painting pen sensitivity?
Wow !!
That ’s really the best Windows-touch-experience I have seen so far.
I’m looking around quite some time now, but I havent seen anything so fluent.
But it’s soo expensive :’-(
Can you recommend a cheaper (maybe older) dual digitizer PC?
(or just make a list – there aren’t around that many I think)
btw: That’s the kind of review I really like – not just tech Specs like many others.
Just a bit more surfing around would have been nice – maybe also try watching a HQ online video…
@teta809 Yeah, Windows 8 will be great. In the meantime, Windows has been running on slates for 8 years and is currently still the best OS by far for geting things done on a Tablet. There are better options for gaming and wasting time, but if you don’t have time for that you can’t beat windows still.
im just waiting for the REAL windows tablet OS in 2012 or late 2011.
@Donkling Why slate? It’s a personal choice, but I like the directness of it. When I undock from my docking station, it’s a tablet without the need to swivel. 99% of the time when I travel I don’t use the keyboard anymore. I just do everything with handwiring and the pen. Having a slate has forced me to get better at that… It’s also a bit slimmer, and I have better carry options too (handle etc). I started out with a HP TC1100 and I could never understand the slate until I got one…
@Donkling When I publish the ink, it’s a direct Onenote conversion. There are usually three or four edits / corrections. The handwriting recognition engine is part of Windows 7, and it is that good. Cursive is usually a bit better than print, but it depends on your writing. You don’t have to change your style, it just learns. The only thing that doesn’t do well is all caps.
@oztabletpc
why not a convertible though? can you not carry it around the same way you do a slate?
also I’m wondering if all your blog posts are direct writing-to-text conversions? I’m finding it hard to believe onenote 2010 can do that. I’ve noticed you write most of your letters separately, rather than cursive – does that make the conversion more painless?
@DonklingTrue, X220 looks very nice. It’s still a convertible though, and after many years of reluctance I made the switch to slate about 3 years ago. I’ve never looked back. I particularly like the J3500 work anywhere carry option. The ThinkPad carry option was very clunky. Still if you need the power, X220 or Fujitsu T901 are well worth it!
Impressive video, one of the most informative I’ve seen on tablets. I’m glad to see touch in windows isn’t as behind as I thought.
The coming thinkpad x220 tablet may well supercede the j3500 that you are (rightfully, I must say) so proud of. Sandy bridge i5 and i7 options, mil-spec tough, IPS screen, option for gorilla glass and solid state drive, ability to switch back into the renowned thinkpad keyboard, and the current gen intel integrated gfx aren’t anything to sneeze at (finally!).
@foo4u2 I didn’t say that it is a let down, however I did say that it let’s down the overall Windows Experience Score. On the contrary, there are only really a few scenarios where it would matter: High End CAD, High End Design and gaming. If you do any of those, then look out for the convertible Fujitsu T901 which may emerge with an NVIDIA graphics chip around June this year.
You mention the intel HD graphics being a let down, are there any tablet pcs that will come out any time soon with a better graphics card?
@oztabletpc This beats my laptop on every single one of them…
I want one, I want something I can take with me, with a touchscreen and can run all the stuff I run now, this has better graphics than mine, so I think it’ll do xD
@FRAGNITION Processor:5.7 (core i7 version), Memory: 5.5 (with 4Gb can do 8), Graphics 3.5, Gaming Graphics: 3.6, Primary hard disk: 6.9 (128Gb SSD).
It’s let down by the Intel HD graphics, but no other slate tablet beats it for power. This video was produced from 1080p (very large) original recordings on that tablet pc.
he said games second!!!!!
Could you tell me the performance ratings for this device? You know, the ones that are under Computer>System properties>Windows experience rating
My laptop has pretty bad ratings all round and I’d be very surprised if this beats any of them.
@SuperHs1998 This is a PC. What ever you do on a laptop you can do on this, as long as the hardware specs are up to requirements.
@oztabletpc hey cool can we play gta iv also on online game
@jimmarn Yes
