It was a good deal.

It was a good deal, despite there being an issue with the wacom digitizer. I believe the pen battery is dead, and it didn't come with the original software/drivers.

Buyer Beware

February 7, 2011

Verified Purchase

I just purchased one of these right here at Amazon. First surprise? No charger. Second surprise? The "Upgraded software" cannot be updated, i.e. PIRATED. Third surprise? The "Upgraded software" was too advanced for the unit, and knocked out most of the drivers. The seller has not written me back about my questions for 6 days now... What use is a tablet to me without a touch-screen, and with most of it's buttons disabled? No use at all.

No, it's not an iPad, it is much better.

August 11, 2010

I purchased my unit at [...] but I bought the 1GB RAM card, an extra battery, and a 160GB hard drive from Amazon. I also got Windows 7 Home Premium through a student discount. The total for my upgrade and unit was just under $500.00. This is an actual slate netbook. I just cannot understand paying so much for the iPad when I have a computer that does so much more. I bought a CrownCase hard shell carrying case for the Lenovo s10-3t that happens to fit this better, another $15. I used a seam ripper to remove the cloth side hinges so I can open the case to use my slate tablet. This is not a multitouch interface. You need to use the digital pen. It is not too fat for my slender fingers. The TC1100 is heftier than my HP Mini but I can detach the keyboard if I want to use it as an ereader while I travel. I use an external DVD drive to load my software like Norton Antivirus. The only drawback for me is no ethernet connection. However, it does have a wireless card and bluetooth. The glass seems sturdy and the casing has a nice feel to it. People zero in on this when I pull it out because they think it's an iPad. I think it is way better.

Much improved

November 29, 2004

The last time I tried the tablet PC, I almost bought one. As an early adopter, I really like the idea, but I just couldn't justify the expense. I spent some time with it and it was definitely neat concept. Unfortunately, I couldn't justify the cost. Why not just scan you handwritten notes in?

One year later, I have purchased one and I love it. HP makes the lightest convertible tablet pc available. The Tablet PC is now reaching critical mass for usefulness. The Tablet PC XP OS (free upgrade from Microsoft) has better handwriting recognition, and more features.

The tablet PC makes a good e-book reader. You can purchase and download books from Amazon almost instantly. I was able to download several books for reading during a Thanksgiving trip. Unlike the PC version of Microsoft Reader, you can highlight and annotate with the pen.

Next, a client emailed me a contract in a Word document. Using ink annotation, I "signed" it in blue ink, then printed it out to a PDF file and emailed it back to my client. I didn't print out the contract, sign it, file it, scan it, and then fax it like I usually do. I like the productivity boost.

Additionally, I installed most of the tools I use on my server, and using remote desktop I'm not chained to a desk anymore if I want to compile code. I can roam around the house.

This tablet also has build in wireless. You can now get free wireless access in a lot of public libraries, and you can purchase internet access at Starbucks.

If you take lots of handwritten notes, the tablet PC is for you, especially in a classroom setting. However, you will definitely be answering lots of questions, as it does attract a fair amount of attention.

The original Compaq TC1000 tablet was slow, sparkly, and difficult to justify. The TC1100 is much improved. The processor is fast enough to keep up with my scribbles. Applications load quickly, and the screen is sparkle free.

I would highly recommend if you have the business requirement for a Tablet PC.

Way Better than Carpal Tunnel!

November 28, 2004

I have been using pen-based input since Windows 3.11 for Pen Computing, mostly to avoid wracking my hands, wrists, and fingers with typing.

I have also used a variety of the latest generation of tablets. All of them have their strong points, but what I like best about the Compaq is that it runs in silence. Except for the fan popping on every once in a while, you don't even know there's a computer behind the screen. Also, the feel of the pen on the glass is very nice; like writing with an expensive ceramic-ball pen.

The image on the screen is crystal clear. Even a bifocalled old geezer like me has no trouble sitting in a chair, tablet in lap, and working the afternoon away. The battery really does last 3 and a half to 4 hours, depending on what you're doing.

The machine is fast and powerful enough for most needs, but it is not a gamer. My advice is to buy as much memory as you can afford. Be aware that punctuation-intensive tasks like huge bibliographies or lengthy coding can get pretty frustrating with a pen. Doing lots of spreadsheet input can be a drag, too.

For you first timers, it'll take a little practice getting used to using the pen to the best advantage, but most folks are smart enough to figure things out on their own. I find the pen relaxing to use.

The 1100 will use a passive (no battery) or active (battery) pen. I find the passive pen less sensitive to my gentle touch, but less likely to glitch out. The active pen gives faster response, but it can go nutsy on me, especially when the hard to find quadruple-A battery starts to die.

I suggest disabling the pen's button.

It is a great machine to haul to the library, or to use in meeting, not only because it's light and easy to carry, but because there is no keyboard clatter. Be warned, it will attract attention.

I have the dock, and use both an external and the attached, small, but adequate keyboard. Really though, the machine only shines when used as it's designed to be used; with a pen, as a tablet. 98% of the time I use it with no keyboard at all.

I've tried a variety of cases and covers, but don't like any of them since they detract from the immediate nature of the pen interface. Plus, the 1100 is so pretty that I hate to cover it up.

It's a blast - like Star Trek.

It is the Etch-a-Sketch I dreamed of when I was 10 years old!
