Many people consider the upcoming Samsung S7 to be a pretty direct descendent from the tc1100-- what with a keyboard dock and a pen for a Windows slate. That's also how a lot of people see the...

Well, we can agree to disagree on that one, which is cool. It seems to me that, with their entire new OS being focused directly on being tablet friendly, we're going to see some real push with this...

Personally, I was rather excited about what they offered. I don't understand your negativity, frankly. They're offering a simpler ARM based tablet for a lower price (the one you mention in the...

Iirc, it won't allocate more total ram. What it will do is allow you to dedicate more than the current 2 gb ram per program maximum to each program, so that if you want, say, 3 gb to use with ps or...

Better, for sure. Though it makes the most difference with text versus images, IMO.

Is a bummer but true. Though honestly I don't know anyone that uses a cl900.

Btw, I'd be very interested in hearing your opinions on the 3500. Does it run hot? Clearly you found it too heavy?? ...

The SXGA screens are very nice, when viewed from the correct angles. Their viewing angles are not as good as the XGA models. If you are using it in an artists setup, tilted perhaps at a desk, for...

On a specs level I agree that the S7 is clearly better- faster, better graphics, better batter life, thinner and lighter. And if you can get over the lack of a silo and the skinnier resolution it's a...

I would be very leery of running anything like PS on Re CL900. Only 2 GB ram, and it runs on an Atom processor. I would think of it more as a mobile document reader and rough sketch diagram builder,...

I hear you on the 1600 VA. I also thought it would work as a main computer, but its just too old IMO.

Well, I just got a j3400 for $1000 on eBay, keyboard and arm strap included. Prices seem to be...

Last year, when I was trying out 1700's, someone at one point suggested running it on one core. Does this work? Would it improve battery life? Has anyone ever done it? My thought was that if the 1600...

In the end, the real issue for me over the last year has been that I'd like a computer that I can use at work, outdoors, and that I'd like to use that same computer at home for art. That's been a...

I'm both a digital artist and a landscaper. I'm looking for a Wacom enabled tablet pc that has a good array on hardware buttons-- this is very important for use as an artist--, but also with a good...

Ah, well, even 6 hours is better than I would have thought, so that's good to hear. The new ones are a little bit thinner and lighter, but not much, IMO. If you don't find the 1700 too hot or noisy,...

Huh. That's good to hear, and better than I would have thought. What are you getting on a single standard main battery running Win7 on High Performance? On Balanced? I was never able to really break...

Oh, I hear you on the note of productivity. I think the Asus and S7 are the heat of the current batch.The Asus gets terrible battery life though, and the S7 is awfully narrow IMO. You can use the...

That's nice to hear about the screen- its definitely a major selling point of the computer.

That's a bummer, however, to hear about the battery life. Have you tried using a program like...

OP here, almost a year later.

Tbase1, the real question is "How are you going to use it? What's important?" Mobility? Battery life? Raw processing power? How are you using your le1700? As a...

How well does the 1600 battery work? What kind of charge does it hold?

You're not the only one that's confused. I did go with the TP Link. The wifi worked fine after the mini-CD install, but it was really really slow after Standby. After this driver was dl, sleep was...

Is it the Toshiba cable? That seems to be the point of concern. My 1600 came with a zif cable but its the Hitachi, which is supposed to be too think for other zif drives. If you were able to use...

Does anyone know for sure if this cable works with a 1600? I had read the cable orientation is different on the 1700 and therefore became a bit concerned. Its only advertised as a 1700 on alltp and...

Well, it did end up being the wifi. Ms Update eventually found an additional Atheros driver. Installed it, and my 1600 is now going to sleep soundly. !! Woo hoo!

With that at of the way I'm...

Tried out turning off wifi before going into Standby. That seemed to solve the problem, except once I'm back and I restart wifi it has the same non-responsive problem as before. So, I can go into...

I'm sorry. I see that both the Motion Dashboard and Control Panel lead to the advanced settings for the power plans. My question is what recommendations might you have for which settings to change...
