Ha! I’d been hoping you’d discover how easy it is to type for extended periods on the P1610, James. I’m glad you did. I’m very satisfied with mine — it’s my principal device now. Looking forward to getting Fujitsu’s Vista driver disk so I can make the jump to Vista.

My P1610 is on the second delivery from Greenland, due to arrive early January.

I echo those words. I am writing this on a Q1 that I bought due to what you and Kevin have posted about it. The Q1 was my most expensive PC purchase ever. Then you posted about the P1610 and I have now ordered one of those. Don’t get me wrong – I don’t buy everything that you post about! :)

But you do influence my purchases due to the way you both post real world experiences and views. That’s what I want to read about.

Great work this year (and to Matt on the podcast) – I’ll be coming back for more next year complete with a new toy!

Will, the X1 has a 12" screen while the P1610 has a 8.9" widescreen so the keyboards are probably close in size but I'll bet the Fujitsu's is a tad smaller.

jk, I have older Dell X1 with a small keyboard. I too have large hands and I got to where I can type real well on it. If you have seen the X1, how would the P1610 keyboard compare?
I am in the market for a new unit. The X60t does have my eye right now.

>>ripping hair out of head<<

Fiend! Fiend! Fiend!

How can you tempt me like this?

Oh wait.

That’s right.

I asked for more about the 1610 in an email.

Never mind…

Good catch, Tax Man. I only carry the BG battery if I'm going to spend most of the day at Big Oil Co. I use it as a power adapter in that setting.

Hmm…I thought you’d stopped carrying the Battery Geek with you because the extended battery on the Fuji was giving you all the life you needed. One of the things I enjoy about your blog is the way you describe your use of technology in your real job. Most of us have to make a bit of long term commitment when we buy a piece of gear, so it doesn’t do us a lot of good to constantly read about people ditching last week’s gear for the latest thing every week. Reviews of new gear are nice, but your continuing theme of how to actually use this stuff and various accessories to make tasks easier or more enjoyable is what keeps me coming back. Thanks to you and Kevin for some terrific content this year. I would have never bought the Q1 if it hadn’t been for Kevin’s videos and detailed usage scenarios offered by you both. As a result, the Q1 is my favorite Windows device of all time. Have a great holidays and a fantastic new year!
