X200tablet thought

#1 Post by bgx » Sat Oct 03, 2009 10:02 am

Hi,

I bought a X200 tablet for my mom, as she wanted a good screen, and it was the best way to get an IPS/AFFS.
First, i took a multitouch, and as said by other, it is not optimal as the mutlitouch surface make the screen darker when not watch from straight away. Nothing much to do about it. All the more sad since you cant really use mutlitouch for anything today.

Then, i saw how vista was flawed (i use XP and 7RC at home). The hard disk never stop spining, the thing was slow, and the power consumption high. First, i ordered 7, but i still have to wait for a while... and then i decided to stop all the stupid vista service as super prefech, indexing, take off virtual memory (with 2GB, my mom as plenty anyway)... and then victory! the power consuption is extremely low (lower than my X40, at around 6W, sometimes even less!), the thing is fast etc...

I stil can do nothing about the screen, but it is better than nothing...
