I'll let the picture do the talking. Besides, it wants to restart itself sometime in the next three minutes due to some kind of automatic update gubbins. Time to start learning windows XP... :-/

Wow! Tablet PC? With the whole swivelling-and-twisting-monitor thing?

Cool... What model is it? C'mon, cough up the full spec.

(and BTW I can't think of someone who'd enjoy a tablet PC more than Tahrey, given his taste for freehand Windows Paint drawings...)

Heh, never mind, guess we got ourselves a new troll there.

It's a HP (or possibly compaq, depending which sticker you believe) TC4200. Very nice little device, actually, though it did set me back over 8 big ones. Got a few little idiosyncracies, but I can live with them for now as it's helping me work a little smarter and harder without continual hardware cockups or lengthy recharges. I'll mess with it properly once all the academia's out of the way. XP *is* as big a resource hog as i suspected, but its not actually so bad thanks to the powerful hardware, and there seems to be ways to streamline it quite well - when i get the chance. Plus it does bring several benefits, i must concede (easy HW setup; good power management; pendrive ubiquity; reliable hibernation; handwriting recognition etc)

Must remember to keep the wireless internet turned off though - it's just too big a distraction
