We have a tablet project here – supplying them to our practitioners who do housecalls (yes, we do housecalls) – so I’ve had my hands on a couple of Win7 Tablets, our app only runs under Windows at this point.
I like the Duo…but I do have concerns about the durability of the display. It rotates on two somewhat delicate hinge pins. Another consideration is the screen type. Most of the tablets are capacitance screens, so a ‘normal’ stylus will not work on them. There are styli that do work with capacitance screens, we are testing a couple of different models. Basically if it works with an iPhone – you are on the right track.

For convenience it scores high, and I’d like to have one to *supplement* my computing resources.

I’ve heard the Dell Duo is a bit sluggish, although it seems to have the functionality that you want ( even though a dual core Atom 550 and 2gb RAM, no match for an i5 and 4gb RAM ). For just a bit more, the Lenovo ThinkPad X220T can run the i7, and has decent reviews too. Even more powerful, while even less portable Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event !

Full Windows 7 is what I'm looking for. It will also function as a regular desktop. Thanks for your ideas so far. >>> Steven Peck <sep...@gmail.com> 4/22/2011 12:53 PM >>> Sure but you get Windows 7.

We want to test e-signatures using the touch screen instead of an add-on USB signature card. Any suggestions? I see several vendors have these. Since this is just testing, nothing high-end is needed.
