Guest Chaser81 Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 If they can get a FULL WINDOWS XP PC this small, imagine whats next for Windows Mobile!! View article by clicking here.
Guest Gorskar Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 They've had a fully working windows PC in a case the size of a VHS cassette since 1997 - the toshiba libretto. http://www.amherst.co.uk/libretto Shame you cant get them outside of Japan (or old ones off ebay) One of my mates got one, and it was running windows XP ok (despite the slow processor) He since formatted it and put linux on it though :D
Guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 A guy I used to work with got one of the Toshiba Librettos, must have been 6 years ago, and to this day, I regret not getting one. It was a lovely bit of kit, and not too expensive either, if I remember correctly.
Guest Mike Wagstaff Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 I have a Libretto 100. It might be getting on a bit, but it's still an absolutely superb piece of kit that still works wonderfully. And it runs Sensible World of Soccer beautifully... :D
Guest TigerNet Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 I am using the Sony Vaio U70 (similar to the one above...it not only has full XP Pro, but WiFi built in...then added a bluetooth CF card...literally a pocket sized PC...
Guest Chaser81 Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 A U70 and an Imate Jam Tigernet? Now thats just greedy... I think you should pass one of them over here.... O:)
Guest TigerNet Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 ...how did that old song go??? DR_EEEEA_M, dream dream dream, DR_EEEEA_M... ...check out my gallery for some other 'toys'... Cheers Nick
Guest Alex_le_brit Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 (edited) Or one of these ? WIFI, Bluetooth Win XP touch screen and keyboard, it only needs an aerial and it would be everything you ever wanted. Oh if only I could win the lotto Edited January 25, 2005 by Alex_le_brit
Guest TigerNet Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 ...get it here... http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=116285 8) ...and here... http://www.dynamism.com/u71/index.shtml :D Cheers Nick
Guest ShaneBoyd Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 I was looking into the Vaio. Has anyone had any experiences with it at all?
Guest TigerNet Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 ...which Vaio?? I have used several models and like them a lot...if you have specific questions, let me know and I'll try to answer - as will others here... Cheers Nick
Guest ShaneBoyd Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 The U70. I just wondered if people had good experiences with it. Do they like it or would they suggest something else?
Guest TigerNet Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 I really like the U70, but it depends what you want to do with it...I do not use it as my main laptop, but more as an 'occasional' when I am only going to be using pen input...otherwise I have to carry all the 'bits and pieces' with me which I find a pain. My main laptop is the Vaio TR1MP which has everything built in to one small package...so if I am wanting to type/use the cd/DVD tray, I would use that one... ...what do you want to use it for??? Cheers Nick
Guest ShaneBoyd Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 I would be using it as an "around the house" type of laptop for a variety of different activities, nothing really special though. I wouldn't be toting it out of the house all that often. Every now and then, that would be the case, but not all the time. Do you think it would be good for my purposes?
Guest TigerNet Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 ...key is keyboard based or pen based activities...
Guest ShaneBoyd Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 I'd probably be more apt to use the keyboard
Guest TigerNet Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 ...in which case I would probably look at the TR1MP or similar...look here... http://reviews.zdnet.co.uk/hardware/notebo...39116235,00.htm I might have one for sale as well!!! Cheers Nick
Guest Alex_le_brit Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 ...get it here... http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=116285 8) ...and here... :lol: Cheers Nick <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmmmm £1,614.95 in the UK or $1899 from the manufacturers, something tells me us Brits are being ripped off yet again.
Guest ShaneBoyd Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Hmmm...I need to do a bit more research i think, but I may be talking to you guys about this again soon.
Guest Chaser81 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Mate of mine has the Sharp M1110 (Discontinued I think now) but its TINY!!! Less than a centimetre thick and it weighs next to NOTHING. Only downside is no CD-ROM or FDD, but it has WiFi built in. Was very impressed with its size.
