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. I didn't see any mention of heat... by PornMaster · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Given that a tablet is probably meant to be written on while held in one arm... are there hotspots on these things that slowly cook your arm?

  2. Ah, you ever hear of PEN COMPUTING? by Infinite+Entropy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Judgeing by your comment I wonder if you realize that Tablet PCs are fundamentally pen-based computers. And the pen functionality is VERY slick indeed. I have a Toshiba M200 and its I never get tired of whipping it out in class and using it to take notes. Its really helped my to improve my note taking.

    I wish i had mod points to mod you up.

    This is especially useful because all my notes come in PDF format so it works incredibly well by opening the pdf in acrobat and editing it straight.

    Also, being a CS/Math major, writting complex equations is alot easier then on a keyboard.
