Advantages: speed, has speakers, compact, solidly built, good battery life, USB ports
Disadvantages: keypad, no power brightness ratio

...You may well be wondering what this little device is I wasn’t entirely sure when I first saw it but my husband soon explained all. Basically it is a half notebook half PDA style device which is perfect for busy people who are always on the move. I think it’s probably clearer if I break my review down to cover each aspect of this product separately because there is quite a lot to mention about each feature and hopefully this way it will be more useful to you. >>>THE SCREEN<<< The tablet screen is a defining feature of the HP Compaq Tablet and essentially it is this feature which separates this product from every notebook on the market and there is a clear distinction between cheaper alternatives and this sturdy piece of technology. The screen is 10.4 inches adopting the appearance of a digital book, when in portrait mode... Read review

Advantages: Very portable
Disadvantages: Slower than your average new laptop

..., but small enough to type with easily. The mouse is a tracker button type which I prefer to a touch pad. The machine has two USB ports in it's un-docked state, which is enough to plug a full size keyboard and mouse in, but not enough if you want to put an external CD or DVD drive in as well. It does however have a serial port so you could use this for an external mouse or keyboard. When the machine is closed up in tablet mode, and when you are carrying it in the case, the screen is outwards. I'm worried that this may mean the screen could get scratched although this hasn't happened yet. The PC sometimes seems slow to respond, at only 1GHz it is not as fast as other bigger laptops on the market. I'm not sure whether the freezing is to do with the tablet, or Windows XP as this is the first time I have used either. I am about to purchase... Read review

Advantages: Price, Build quality, Features
Disadvantages: Quite old now, Not fast compared to newer laptops, No CD drive

...This laptop is has by far one of the most original designs I have ever had the pleasure of using. The screen rotates 180 degrees and the folds down and locks to become a tablet computer. It contains a digitiser which should not be confused with a touchscreen computer, the laptop will only respond to a special pen. The pen stylishly slides out of the side of the laptop with a cool push to release mechanism. The screen resolution is unbelievably high for the size of the screen. Its resolution is 1440x900 (the default res for 19" monitors) and screen size is 12.1". The only problem with having such a high res on a small screen is that your icons and text becomes quite small and sometimes unreadable but you can easily change the text size Unlike a lot of laptops around it doesn't get ridiculously hot whilst running for a few hours...

Advantages: easy to use.
Disadvantages: It's only bad if you are the one stealing it,

...I got this free with my laptop and have only used it a few times but have found it to be useful for your laptop secure from thieves. It locks into the side of your laptop its name is a security slot and is only released with a key or in other models a number lock. At two meters in length its should always reach where you need it to go. So if you're on the go this is how you do should protect your laptop from being stolen. The instructions say this that lock is not only for Laptops. this can also be used to secure tablet PC's, external portable drivers, LCD monitors, printers, scanners, Ethernet switches, KVM switches, multiplexers, routers, wireless access points, cameras, CD players, cell phones, MP3 players, pagers, PDA's, portable TV's, and projectors with a built in security slots. It also states... Read review

Advantages: Tablet PC, Light, Quite Good Battery Life
Disadvantages: Hinge Fairly Weak, Second Generation Tablets Available

...Introduction ------------ Tablet PCs where officially launched on November 7th 2002 with a Keynote speech made by Bill gates in New York. The basic principle was to combine a laptop and graphics tablet, so that it is in effect possible to draw or write notes directly to the screen. Despite the initial good press and hype surrounding it however sales of these devices were sluggish and are only now beginning to pick up. The main reason for this is that initially the Hardware and Software were not up to scratch. The later has largely been solved as new software and patches have been released (more later on upcoming developments). The former however has only fairly recently been solved by the second generation of Tablets which solve almost all of the hardware problems. This tablet unfortunately belongs to the first generation... Read review

Disadvantages: windows vista is not the operating system for this

...the day, then use it for surfing and watching tv in the evening/weekends. When I am looking for a laptop, I like it to stand out a bit and be different. After I had used the HP Tablet TC4400 model at work I knew it had to be a tablet PC. For those of you that are not aware of the term 'tablet PC'. It refers to a laptop where you can turn the screen and place it flat on the keyboard with the screen face-up. This turns it into a type of notebook that you can use to write on by using the specially supplied stylus pen. Users of a PDA will be familiar with a stylus. You can use it in this mode to surf or write notes/documents. You can also use it as a conventional laptop with the screen at the rear of the keyboard. Cool huh? Well for me that was different so I knew it had to be a tablet. However, these tablets were initially only... Read review

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sainsbury's Cleanhome ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sainsbury's have brought out a new range of products that deliver great cleaning performance but are also kinder to the environment. I'm a bit of a spend thrift so was looking through the Sainsbury's aisles for some cheap dishwasher tablets. I had run out and didn't want to buy a lot of tablets until I was able to go and buy some tablets at wholesale prices. I noticed this at the top of the shelf because it was on offer. 25 tablets for £1.99, saving a 1/3 off the normal price. At 8p a tablet, how could I resist? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Packaging & the tablets ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The contents come in a cardboard box. Indeed a box that looks like it has already been recycled. The box itself is blue with an outline of a house in what looks like grass... Read review

Advantages: Long battery life, eaasy to use in tablet mode, quick
Disadvantages: Needs a spare pen, keyboard layout.

...General I have been using this tablet for two years now, both at home and work, and I'm so impressed with it that it has become my main computer, replacing both my work and home desktop. By connecting an external USB keyboard and mouse, the tablet can be propped up in the portrait configuration, which is great for writing documents, and is cheaper than buying the docking station! This also takes advantage of the USB ports being on the rear of the tablet rather than on the side. Ease of Use The tablet is very light, and has a battery life of over 4 hours. This makes it ideal for walking around making notes in my work environment, as well as taking to meetings where its always a talking point. I've had no problems with the handwriting recognition, though a spare tablet pen would be nice! The keyboard feels oddly set out... Read review
