Will be recieving my Tablet within the next week. Lots to look forward to with the 1400×1050 resolution, bluetooth and things.
It appears Wacom has just released a new driver which (assumption) fixes the pressure sensitivity bug that has been plaguing people interested in drawing for ages. Wonderful.
Impressions on the M200:
Says the resolution is nice but not as sharp or crisp as other laptops he’s seen.
Jstigall’s review is a little bland but functional
TabletPCCorner has loads of information but is in french. They also concentrated a lot on 1024×768 non-native resolution. It’s obviously going to be mediocre, what’s the point of ever switching to it? There is always Font DPI to adjust, then you can enjoy the high res for images, not have quality issues, and still read the fonts with weak eyes.
It turns out the wireless (a/b/g, b/g) and bluetooth are upgradable I did some miniPCI research and some internal pictures are in this thread
The educational discount was only $40 because “it’s new” says Toshiba. Compare that to HP’s TC1100 discount of $200. Ouch. If it wern’t for the hi-res screen I would be over there. And you have to call them to get it.
I wonder if I can get a hold on M$’s (:) Lonestar recogniser panel somewhere. Why can’t that be “distributed”, forget alpha longhorn.
Haven’t heard any hard, fast anecdotes about battery life. Hoping that it will be around 4 hours (in real life). I ordered two batteries. The way marketing always spins the battery life numbers is not funny!
I’m trying to determine whether it has a built in mic. It must be apparent to anyone who has used OS X.3’s iChat AV’s video or audio conferencing that this is the future. Wow. Million times better than a phone (interativity-wise), free, and simple to arrange.
I’ve ordered a 3.5″ and 5 1/2″ (both in one) USB2/Firewire IDE enclosure for all my data swapping needs. My DVD-R/RW drive will serve in it when I need to watch/rip movies or burn CDs, My old 80gb HD from my desktop will be my portable storage for music and such.
AgentOrange on the TPCBuzz forums suggested backing up the vanilla configuration from the drive before even starting up the tablet for the first time. Tempting. You could then either try it on another tablet or use it to sell it exactly as shipped. Unfortunately I don’t have a $7, 2.5″ hard drive to 3.5″ adapter and don’t know where i’d get one before firing up my tabby.
