A TabletPC round-up

I figure tablets are starting to be a real tool for graphic artist, some already feature wacom digitizing technology for the displays. I swipped the top 5 from TabletPCReview.com, so here they are:

HP tx2000 Tablet

HP has finally updated the tx1000. Welcome the tx2000 Tablet PC. It has the same design as its predecessor, but now has an active digitizer and touchscreen. I have to say I am quite impressed with this 12.1-inch tablet. The entertainment features make this tablet a real head turner, especially when you consider the starting price. We received a pre-production unit for our review and it's still near perfect. (full review)

Lenovo ThinkPad X61

After the long wait for my X61 Tablet PC, it finally shipped and arrived four days later. Based on other users’ comments from the X60 and the few X61 owners who have already received theirs, I didn’t know what to expect, but the X61t blew all my expectations away. It is by far, the most functional and versatile machine I have used to date. (full review)


Dell Latitude XT

Dell finally broke into the Tablet PC market with the release of the Latitude XT. There was a lot of hype and speculation around this release and we finally got our hands on a review unit. Now, we have the chance to see what the fuss is all about. The XT has a solid design and runs on a 1.2GHz ULV Core 2 Duo processor. It also has the new N-trig touchscreen technology, which is quite impressive. The pen and capacitive touch technology are both very accurate and responsive. (full review)

HP tx1000 Convertible

If you have been searching the market for an entertainment notebook with Tablet PC features, your search may be over. Thanks to HP's tx1000 convertible notebook that starts at $1,299. Though the tx1000 is targeted toward the average consumer, business professionals are still welcome. This portable notebook packs a 1.3-megapixel webcam, 5-in-1 digital media reader, a mini remote control for movies, music and photos and it comes with Windows Vista installed.

Fujitsu LifeBook T2010

The Fujitsu LifeBook T2010 has been on the market for a little bit now, and after spending some time with it I can see why many users have been raving over it. The T2010 definitely fits in the lightweight, ultra-portable category considering it has no optical drive and runs an Intel ULV processor, which allows for the slim design. I have to say like the other Fujitsu models I have reviewed the 12.1" display is impressive. The screen is amazing, the colors are bright and vivid and the bi-directional hinge is an added bonus.
