Hello all - back again.

Some may remember that I baught a C110 back in 2003.

Now I look for a new tablet ( C110 still working fine ), can any body recommend a fanless tablet or labtop PC:

I still have my C110 too. Purrs like a kitten. You won't find any fanless Tabletpcs as long as they produce heat.

Hello digital doc, still in here - remember your reviews from your clinic back in 2003.

The C110 is fanless and dead silent, problem is that C110 is not sold any more.

Sure fanless tablets / labtops exits, quetion is which are fanless ?

I never thought of the C110 as being fanless. Interesting indeed. Are you sure it is fanless or just quiet. Sahara has a fan but you can't hear it. Certainly the faster new TPC units all have fans as far as I know?

Back in 2003 - ( or was it in 2004 ? ) I made a lot of research in order to get a fanless, silent battery-backed PC, since power cuts are quite frequent in this town, and I wanted to replace my noicy PC tower with a dead silent solution.

At that time the conclution was that the Centrino ULV 1GHz processsor didnt need fan. I called Acer support in Denmark, they confirmed that the C110 was fanless.

The C110 was one of the few at that moment with 1GHz Centrino.

Now a days they are all equiped with 1.5 - 1.7GHz processors, which I think all have fan. Unfortunatly the C110 is discontinued.

1GHz Centrino is more than sufficent for even my Borland C++ Builder projects, surfing and normal use, but competition pumps the processor speed up since users dont get it. The new UMPC is an alternative, but they dont have keyboard - which is nice to have sometimes.

Now- do anybody have a fanless tablet/labtop which are still available ????

Viking, try posting this under a more general category as opposed to just Acer.

The C11x is really fanless. That was one of my purchase criteria when I look for my tablet. Even the HP TC1100 is NOT fanless. I am so glad that I went to buy a C112 as I suspect they might just kill the line.

Why I like fanless? Quiet but also there wont be fan failure to stop the machine from booting up.

C11x: fanless and priceless now :-)

Actually the C11x is not 'fan'less, it has got lots of fans :P;)

So yeah there are no more fanless tablets ....

Not exactly. The NEC Versa Pro is also fanless and thin as a sheet of paper :)

Look at this thread:

The only problem is it seems NEC has also discontinued this little marvel... and if not, you should buy it in Japan.
