Review of the 8 Hour Tablet: Electrovaya Scribbler

Posted by timothy on from the but-there's-an-all-weekend-tablet-already dept.

Lisa Gade, the chief geek over at MobileTechReview.com, reports that they've just published an in-depth review of the Electrovaya Scribbler SC2200. "It's a Windows XP Tablet Edition with lots of the features you'd expect on a high end slate machine like a 12.1" screen you can write on, a Dothan 1.4GHz processor and WiFi. But its real claim to fame is the huge capacity 10,200 mAh SuperPolymer battery which will get you through a work day without a charge."

  1. What is your definition of a work day? by slagdogg · · Score: 5, Funny

    I haven't had an 8 hour work day since I was a child laborer. Of course, the only people I see using Tablet PCs typically do about 20 minutes of work per day anyways, so this is overkill for them. Good thing Windows Solitaire isn't a big battery hog.

    8 Hours is good, but a 1.4Ghz processor? Not worth my money, I would wait a couple of months to let the better companies one-up them,

    Exactly how fast must the chipmunk spin the exercise wheel for you to be happy?

    Man, my plastic fuck doll is made of the same thing. And I have never gotten 10 hours from her.

    Sorry to have to break this to you on SlashDot. She definitely lasts 10 hours, its just someone
    else (i.e. the Milkman) is getting a couple of hours of her time every day (if you know what I mean).

    Review of the 8 Hour Tablet
    This is old news. Everyone knows that timed-release capsules are what's hot these days.

  8. I agree by InfiniteWisdom · · Score: 5, Funny

    I totally agree with you... after all this is clearly targetted at real-time 3D modelling (what else would you use a portable battery-operated device for?), so we do need something with quad 3.7GHz Xeons.
