In November 2001, I heard the first newsbytes about the Tablet PC
concept being prepared by Microsoft. The idea that you would be able to
interact with normal laptops in the same way that you do with a Pocket
PC was fairly intriguing. A notebook of three pounds or lighter,
running a superset of Windows XP Professional, with built-in wired and
wireless communication devices, and ability to use a stylus on the
screen to record handwritten notes was something like computing nirvana
to me at the time. So I kept following the press releases, the rumors,
and anything Paul Thurrott posted on WinSuperSite.com and
WinInformant.com.
The first prototype images that I saw for a Tablet PC device came from Acer, a company I never held in high regard. The small form-factor and rotating screen made caused me to decide that this was the model I should buy when it became publicly available.
So, did the Acer TravelMate C100 live up to my absurdly high expectations? Take a look at TabletPCBuzz.com
