Hi,

I'm looking around for a replacement for my aging Toshiba M200 and from their
website it seem they no longer do a tablet with the 1400x1050 display, only
widescreens. Is this true, and if so then can anyone tell me who makes a tablet
pc with the resolution I require ?

Thanks,

Mike

think the m200 is the only tablet with 1400x1050 I have ever heard
mentioned..

there was a discussion about resolutions here a year or so ago... google
groups time (they allow searching old threads)

here's a starting point

Are you asking about the tablet screen or the video card capabilities?

fwiw, I use my 1024x768 fuji with a 1920x1080 samsung LCD TV/Mon, so,
another consideration if you can't find what you are asking is to assure
that the tablet's video card will support both large external screens as
well as offering a variety of working resolutions.

Fujitsu made one, Lenovo x61 had the option, and there was the Toshiba
M400. 1400x1050 is a dying(maybe dead) tablet/notebook resolution,
since most laptops are moving to the wide-screen ratios.
you might still be able to get the x61s:

Was looking for a similar upgrade/replacement tablet last week.

The 1500x1050 SXGA+ is dying with the terriblyt popular widescreen
WGA. No 1680x1050 WSXGA+ or better tablets are in sight :-/

For SXGA+ some old X61t's and M400 are on ebay etc -- but the X61y
with digitizer only, not digi+touch, and a bezel separation problem
that appears sooner than later.

In total I found only two sxga+ option tablets that are not stone
age junk: the Fujitsu T4010 and the Motion LE1700 slate.

Thanks fro the link.
Does seem really interesting for me as it has a detachable keyboard
which I'm used to with my good old HP tc1100. And the extended battery
would be most useful for my purposes.

I'm a bit skeptical in the SSD drive.

The Motion Computing LE1700
(http://www.motioncomputing.com/produ...et_pc_le17.asp) has exactly
that resolution. Like all tablets it's not exactly a 'rocket' but it's
decent. Esp. since I've put in a 120 GB disk (Samsung spin point N2) which
allows me now to keep several directories being constantly synched between
the tablet and my desktop (using Syncing.Net - see http://www.syncing.net)
it has become really useful & convenient. And it's screen resolution and
feeling is really nice! As I already wrote elsewhere: it's the only device I
ever felt like reading even longer texts on (which probably saved a few
trees...)

The only drawback: the company isn't very widely known and there are only
very few companies that distribute them and even fewer that have them on
display so that one can actually see and feel them before ordering.

Yes, the processor is not too strong :-(

Interesting. Thanks!

How about the "outdoor" contrast?
This would be really important for me. As much as I love my good old
COMPAQ tc1100, the often I'm kept from doing what I want: Doing my work
in the garden ;-) ;-)

That's an in general problem.
These days even "standard" devices are hardly available for checking the
"look & feel" and even in Frankfurt - one of the main German "business"
cities - I would not know where to have a look at one of the most
popular TabletPC models. {siiigh}

Well - direct sunlight is a challenge and doesn't really work, but I am
regularly using it on our balcony under white (well: beige) canvas blinds
and that works pretty well. So if you can arrange a little bit of shadow it
works.

BTW: Meanwhile the company also offers a version with a "view anywhere"
display which they claim is better in sunlight. I have never used nor seen
that display myself, but trying to get access to such a model might be worth
a try...

Yes, that's what I have in mind.

I really have no idea where to get hold of a test machine :-( :-(
