- has anyone played with speeding up the bootime for their X41 - I love this think, but as is it takes way too long to bootup....
The solution for speeding up boot time is... <drum roll> Don't do a hard shutdown!
I rarely turn off my TabletPC. Instead I use use the Suspend feature. One of the design specification from Microsoft for a TabletPC was that it had to return from suspend in < 2 seconds. It also had to stay in the Suspend mode on batteries for a minimum of 3 days
I set the power setting to never to into hibernation, so that suspend doesn't "graduate" to hibernation automatically.
I'm a big fan of using the advice of blackviper.com to turn off some Windows services that you don't need running. You'll also be increasing your security by not having as many holes in your system.
Have you had an issues with the heat from an x41 when its left on for a longtime? Running it for 4-5 hrs straight on its own definitely causes it to warm up, maybe its just the coincidence of hand placement for a tablet which causes you to feel it more than a traditional thinkpad....
I guess there is only one way to find out
