I don't think its active digitizer -- it should be a capacitive pen. I don't think the touch screen is pressure sensitive
*
Some ppl have mentioned that it could be the new Synaptics screen which supports their own Active Digitizer sensor. One of the tell tale signs that it is a digitizer is that if you look at the stylus in the shots

It has a sharp tip, capacitive ones can't have a sharp tip.

Yes, my previous post was before I looked at the page in detail, now the remaining question is does the Micro USB port work as USB OTG? IT *should* but we know OEM's just don't get the requirements of a proper USB port on tablets tongue.gif

So I called Dell and they said that they will not be selling this tablet online. We need to check with resellers. The resellers however don't even know this tablet exists. We'll at least the ones I called. So who's going to go get a bunch of these into Malaysia for us? 64GB for me please.

Hmmm... interesting, wonder if it's just a matter of them BS'ing of course. We'll have to wait and see then. Resellers.. at the very least I guess All IT and ThunderMatch?

Four As? never seen one before

Basically they're slimmer than AAA batteries, you can see it on my old T580 review, as well as how to 'harvest' some from 9V batteries.

was the tablet 2 ever made available here? These companies feel that Malaysia is too flooded with cheapo tablets and thus no one is interested in x86 ones I guess.

I thought tablet 2 was in Malaysia?  hmm.gif
But I understand from Lenovo Malaysia that the sales for these models was really sloooow.

Well.. considering I never saw one in retail shops in Low Yat or Digital Mall, I wonder how they were selling them? Only to business customers? That was at a point when no one would trust an Intel Atom, before Clovertrail proved itself, who the heck would get it without taking a look at it first?

Heck I was pleasantly surprised with the Acer W510, that's why I bought it and love it!

I know the Tablet 2 was announced when Clovertrail was announced. At that time if they released it when they announced it, I might have gotten that instead of the W510, cause I want the digitizer.

Now.. sigh.. ok ok.. less Lenovo complain.. back to topic..

Damn you Dell Malaysia!!! tongue.gif
