Comments on: Dude, I got a Dell and no, it’s not a Tablet PC http://gigaom.com/mobile/dude_i_got_a_de/ Fri, 25 May 2012 10:45:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: MiniMage http://gigaom.com/mobile/dude_i_got_a_de/#comment-46462 Sun, 30 Jul 2006 17:59:56 +0000 http://jkontherun.wordpress.com/2006/07/27/dude_i_got_a_de#comment-46462 The “shop” I work for is also Dell only, but we have made one concession for our users who want Tablet PCs: if Dell sells it, we (IS) will support it. To date, Dell has sold ViewSonic, Toshiba and Motion tablets (and perhaps Fujitsu; I’m not sure), so our more mobile-minded users are not shut out.

It works really well with the nVidia utility software that adds a lot of control and features to using the dual screen setup.

The description of the avanced port replicator on Dell’s website lists one VGA and one DVI port. Is that how you’ve hooked the two monitors up? That alone would make this laptop very interesting, because I am not sure if anyone else offers this. Right now I am using the internal laptop LCD and an external monitor with my Dell D610 and its dock; gotta see if I can get two monitors to work with it as well.

I just priced it up on dell.com and it doesn’t actually seem to be as expensive as you’d think for a laptop of its spec… I wonder how it’d work with a lesser processor in it.

My 140 is about the same size with it’s 10″ display, but weighs 3 pounds. I’m sure the battery life on that dell isn’t as good as mine though since I just have a 1.12GHz Pentium M in it. Sony says it gets 5-8 hours of battery life and I’ve confirmed that pretty well from my use. The price on my VAIO though was about $3,400 Canadian a year or so ago. I’m sure that dell went for a much better price. ; )
