The 1024x768 is acceptable for the internal montor, but the fact that
1024x768 is the best it can do on an external monitor is a bit of a let down
especially when you connect it to a monitor that can do 1920x1080.

I only have Windows 7 RC and I couldn't get it to network with a WINDOWS
2000 computer so I put Vista back on that laptop. But I'd be willing to try
Windows 7 RC on my TC1100 just to see how well the bluetooth works.

I've seen a pretty neat tablet and maybe you have too:

But, I was upset to see that it didn't have any bluetooth hardware on it all
it had was the bluetooth software. But even that wouldn't be so bad if they
gave you one internal USB port so you didn't have to advertise that it needs
a bluetooth dongle.
