I think i'm going to get the 1221 also la.. I purposely get the slowest processor in hope of a longer battery life. The major issues with this Tablet is the heat issue and poor battery life. I'm hoping that hte 31w rating on the athalon will save some power, sacrificing processor speed. The 1214 is also 31 w (after may 2007) and 1215 have 35 w .
Because of the cheap factor, probably get the athlon. If price drop on the 1214, ,maybe will get that as power consumption is same at 31 w

Don't plan to play games on the pc, so need for office work and internet and simple web authoring and blogging. Will also probably get a RAM MOUNT so can use it for GPS in my car la.. Tablet pc really useful to combine with GPS.. use touchscreen is very easy.

Since my bro is supplier of kingston ram, i will also upgrade the ram to 4gb i think.. Do you guys think Ram suck power ah?

Any more advice to me ah?

I've been using PDAs for the past 7 years, so i am really looking foward to using a Tablet PC.. This will be my 1st tablet.

Speed of processor shouldn't be a problem. I do think that the athlon is faster than my 3 year old centrino 1.5ghz with 768MB ram.. ha ha .. i'm managing ok with the old notebook also...
I'm currentyly using 3 year old Presario v1000 notebook. warranty just over. Contrary to what some forumers have written, I LOVE HP SERVICE!
Professional, on time and free coffee tea and kuih in their HP tower. I'v extended warranty on my old laptop for 3 years without regret. 1st year powerpack burn, 2nd year, HDD burn. 3rd year.. noting burn yet la..
All fixed rather well, foc.
Well worth the warranty for 3 years.

Sad to have to replace my current noteboook, but its getting old and just doesn't give me the techie image i want la..
And with the current wave of emagazines, ecomics, i think tablet PC are great to use.

Anymore advise before i buy the athlon, for my reasons? do you think i should get the slightly faster 1214 which consumes about the same power?
Battery life is an issue for me to consider..

Oh ya.. where to buy with best price. I've been buying a few notebooks from the HP centre at low yat.. Also Very very good service. Personal and some free gift.. After sales service is immaculate. One time they change for me notebook with burnt pixel after few months as i was from outstation..
Excellent..

But anywhere in lowyat can get cheaper with more freebies ah?
