Very Nice

 

[IownAmoneyPit]

Very nice indeed. I see it came with Home Premium. I would think that Microsoft would also offer versions up to Ultimate to provide Bitlocker Encryption but instead you will have to upgrade.

If I myself decided to buy one I would also have to buy a screen protector as large shiny surfaces attract scratches faster than flies to honey.

Looks Nice What WEI Score has it got?

 

[z3r010]

WEI score and a few more pics.

I was surprised to see Home Premium.....I didn't know if it would have power enough to run more than Starter.

I quite like it.

Windows runs pretty well, the touch screen take a little time to get used to but over all it's pretty responsive.

The only down side is it is a little heavy and maybe it could do with another gig on ram (it's open on my desk now but I cant find a slot for any extra ram).

The dual boot Android is very fast, but tbh thats what you would expect of a phone OS running on a PC.

I'm on an Acer netbookone that has a similar technical spec to the tablet and I'm running x86 ultimate without issues

I wouldn't want to encode video or such but for general use it's fine

John,

You'll probably find that there will only be one slot which means dumping installed ram to install new - not good but about normal for this class of device

Sounds like it's perfect for checking up on things while on the move.

How's the screen? Capacitive or Resistive?

Is the keyboard size big enough for someone like me who has hams for hands?

Well interestingly all the pre-release promotional stuff I read said it was disappointing it didn't have 3g, but it does have a sim card slot and all the instructions mention inserting a sim and activating the 3g I have tried the sim I have here but it doesn't work, so I've ordered free sims from all the major networks so I can give those a try.

Have you tried the SIM from the mobile dongle you used during the move - if anything is going to work then that should

It's a Capacitive, and as for the kb try switching it on on your pc then picture it on a 10.1" screen (All programs -> accessories ->ease of access -> on screen keyboard)

I will say that the windows handwriting recognition is brilliant, 99% of what I have tried writing is picked up first time.



BTW 1st post updated with full specs.

That's the only one I've got, but I have a feeling it maybe hardware locked to the dongle.

Nice.

I'd upgrade it to a 2gb stick of RAM if it was me.

 

[DirtyElf]
