I started my blog on blogspot, but I am relocating here.
Here's part of the last entry:
----------
I did like the X41T overall, so after talking the CS rep, I thought I'd give it one more try and I'm doing an exchange. I had to return everything so that my 30 day return clock would start over. Of course that means that I will be waiting for everything to be delivered again.
This is a good thing as it gives me time to look at other alternatives. If I decide I rather have something else, then I will just cancel the new X41T. So thinking about what I liked about the X41T:
- Size
- Fingerprint reader (really just cool, not actually needed)
- Keyboard (best keyboard I ever used)
- IBM value added software
- Support is in the US (Sorry, but offshore support sucks)
- Convertible (a slate would be cool for personal use, but a keyboard is really essential for work).
- Screen was bright and clear
- Bluetooth
and what I did not like:
- A little pokey (i.e. slow)
- Resolution (looking at web pages in portrait mode was alittle disappointing).
- Warmer than I thought (perhaps cooler than other tablets?)
- Lenovo the company
- The graphics shared memory
- The well known disk clicking noise
Given my likes and dislikes when I look around, the only options (that I know of) for a higher resolution screen are the Toshiba M200 and Fujitsu T4020; however, only the Toshiba has a high resolution wide-angle screen.
I don't think my perfect tablet exists yet. They all have tradeoffs. In the end I may just pick the X41T again.
The saga continues...
