On the back is an adjustable kickstand that makes it easy to prop up the 101 on a VGP-BPS13 desk; it's so convenient we wish all tablets had this feature.

Heat
For the most part, the Archos 101 remained cool to the touch, VGP-BPS13A/B with one exception. The rear of the device near the power port exceeded 90 degrees, even idling. Considering this is where you put your left hand, it became a bit VGP-BPS9/S uncomfortable.

The Android-powered Sidekick 4G for T-Mobile just VGP-BPS21 got real, as in photographed-in-Dell inspiron 1525 battery elitebook 8730w battery the-wild real. TmoNews.com received pictures of the reborn smart phone that, just years ago, was known for its flip-happy display, full QWERTY elitebook 6930p battery Dell latitude d630 battery keyboard, teen-friendly design, message-based OS, and cloud storage VGP-BPS21A capability. vgp-bps10/s When it is released at some unknown date, the new Sidekick will add a 4G radio and Android 2.3 to some of those VGP-BPS21B Dell studio 15 battery features.

At 3.8 pounds, the U36JC is quite a bit lighter than the previous generation U33Jc (4.4 pounds), good Dell latitude d620 battery vgp-bps10a battery but a little heavier than the Toshiba Portege R700 (3.2 pounds) and the Lenovo IdeaPad U260 (3 pounds). With dimensions Dell xps m1330 vgp-bps10a/b battery of 12.9 x 9.28 x dell akku 0.76 inches, this laptop is also slightly larger than the U260 (12.5 x 8.1 x 0.7 inches) and R700 (12.4 x 8.9 x 0.7 vgp-bps10/b inches).

While the top surface of the ASUS U36Jc stayed relatively cool throughout our testing, its underside reached uncomfortably acer akku probook 4515s battery Dell inspiron 6400 battery high temperatures. After playing a full-screen video for 15 minutes, we measured the touchpad at a pleasant probook 4410s battery 85 degrees and the G and H keys at Dell inspiron 1501 battery an apple akku acceptable 95 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the bottom probook 4510s battery measured a warm 105 degrees and, while playing World of Dell inspiron e1505 battery Warcraft, it reached 110 ibm akku degrees.

We consider temperatures below 95 degrees acceptable on the top surface of a notebook and temperatures of 100 degrees Dell vostro robook 4710s battery 1000 battery hp akku and below unpleasant but common for the bottom. However, this type of underside heat would make us think elitebook 8730p battery twice about placing the U36Jc on Dell gd761 battery sony akku our lap while gaming.elitebook 8540w battery

Design
You could be forgiven if, at first glance, you mistook the Archos 101 for its older Archos 9 PC Tablet. With the VGP-BPS9 exception of a few buttons, the two devices are practically identical in looks. The chassis is made of a black plastic, but the screen is bordered by black brushed aluminum, VGP-BPS9/B as are two panels on the back. Despite its slimness, the Archos 101 has a sturdier look and feel than the Viewsonic G Tablet.

With a footprint of 10.6 x 5.9 inches, the Archos 101 takes up nearly VGP-BPS9A/B the same amount of counter space as the Archos 9 as well as the Viewsonic G Tablet. However, the Archos 101 is just 0.47 inches thick, compared to 0.7 inches for the Archos 9 and 0.5 inches for the G Tablet. The Archos 101 weighs just 1.1 vgp-bps13b/q pounds, a good deal lighter than the G Tablet's 1.55-pound heft, not to mention the Archos 9's 1.8-pound bulk. Plus, the 101's tapered sides make it look vgp-bps13a/q as light as it feels.

Display
The Archos 101 features a 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen display.vgp-bps13/b Its size and resolution (1024 x 600) are the same as the G Tablet and Samsung Galaxy Tab. However, you can clearly see the diagonal sensor grid on top of the screen, which occasionally proved distracting. Colors were bright, but sadly the vgp-bps13/q display is reflective, and viewing angles are limited to those sitting more or less directly in front; tilt the Archos 101 just a little vertically or horizontally, and the on-screen pa3535u-1brs image begins to wash out.

In landscape mode, the width of the 101 made it difficult to use the slightly PA3534U-1BRS modified Android keyboard; we had to really stretch our thumbs to get to the center. A split keyboard, a la the G Tablet, would be welcome here. In portrait mode, though, we found it much easier to type on dell studio 17 battery the 101.

Viewsonic's 10-inch G Tablet is designed to compete with the Galaxy Tab and iPad for dell studio 1737 battery your gadget dollars. At first glance, the slate has strong specs: a bright 1024 x 600 display, a front-facing webcam, and a powerful dual-core Tegra dell studio 1535 battery 2 CPU. It also features the unique Tap nTap UI layered on top of Android 2.2, which is designed to be consumer friendly. But do the unique features and the reasonable $399 price tag add up to a compelling dell latitude e5500 battery product?

Editor's Note: We updated this review in January to reflect a recent update to the G Tablet's dell latitude e6400 battery software build.

From Lenovo to Gigabyte to Viliv, a few companies have tried their dell latitude e6500 battery and at selling convertible touchscreen netbooks, with limited success. With tablets a hot commodity and a netbook market starved for innovation, Dell is entering the game with the cleverly designed Inspiron Duo. This $549 dual-core dell latitude e4300 battery netbook sports a screen that flips around 180 degrees while remaining inside the lid. The Duo's attractive, rubberized design and Dell Stage touch dell vostro 1510 battery software look gorgeous at first glance, but does this system have enough oomph to overcome Windows 7's touch-unfriendly dell vostro 1310 battery pedigree?

Design
At 11.2 x 7.7 x 1 inches and 3 pounds, the Dell Inpsiron Duo is a bit larger and bulkier than typical Dell inspiron 1545 battery 10-inch netbooks such as the Toshiba NB305 (2.8 pounds), HP Mini 5103 (2.8 pounds), and the ASUS Eee PC 1015PEM (2.8 pounds). However, Dell inspiron 1525 battery that's the price you pay for having a swiveling touchscreen

Keyboard and Touchpad
On its inside, the Inspiron Duo has a pleasant-looking QWERTY keyboard with keys that have a soft-plastic feel. Unfortunately, Dell latitude d630 battery the keys have a flat surface and not a lot of tactile feedback, so touch typists may find themselves committing more errors than they'd like. On the Dell studio 15 battery ten thumbs typing test, we managed our typical 80 words per minute, but with a relatively high 4-percent error rate.

The 2.7 x 1.6-inch touchpad has a reasonably responsive feel and a Dell latitude d620 battery slightly-textured surface that made navigating around the desktop easy. Multitouch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom were smooth and simple. The two discrete mouse buttons offered decent tactile feedback, but a small 0.25-inch Dell xps m1330 battery space--wasted, in our opinion--between the buttons and the lip of the system had us tapping empty plastic by accident.

Before opening the lid, the first thing you'll notice on the Inspiron Duo is the attractive design of the Dell inspiron 6400 battery exterior chassis. The bottom and sides of the system are made from a sturdy rubberized material, which also frames the top of the lid. The center portion Dell inspiron 1501 battery of the lid, which is actually the back of the swivel screen, has a glossy paisley design emblazoned with the Dell logo. The chassis also keeps the same color on the bottom, sides, and even air grilles, so if you get the red or blue versions Dell inspiron e1505 battery (which look much nicer than the default gray), the entire exterior will be color-coordinated.

When you open the Inspiron Duo, you'll notice the screen, which is the first one we've ever seen that flips Dell vostro 1000 battery vertically within the lid, rather than forcing you to pivot the entire top of the machine. Dell's solution here is definitely innovative because it allows Dell gd761 battery the hinges to stay nice and firm like a regular notebook. The trade-off is that there's a sizeable 1.1 inches of bezel surrounding the display.
The good news is that the mechanism feels really sturdy. Every time we swiveled it, the lid snapped quickly into place, giving us Dell latitude d830 battery confidence that it won't wear out too quickly.

The ASUS B43J represents the company's first serious foray into the business notebook category, and it Dell inspiron 1520 battery offers plenty of perks for professionals, including a water-resistant keyboard and your choice of facial or fingerprint login. Coupled with an ATI Dell vostro 1500 battery GPU and Eyefinity technology that supports up to three external monitors, this $1,249 system is powerful enough for hardcore multitaskers. However, some buyers will want to think twice about toting this 14-inch laptop to Dell inspiron 1720 battery and from the conference room and bringing it on the road.

Design
Our first impression of the ASUS B43J is that it's solid and utilitarian. The 13.8 x 9.6 x 1.4-inch system isn't Dell xps m1530 battery super slim or feather light--it weighs 5.6 pounds--but the solid metal interior and scratch-resistant aluminum panels makes the notebook feel sturdy. Dell xps m1730 battery Overall, the understated brushed aluminum lid, minimalist deck, and simple black paint job all work in the B43J's favor, but it won't exactly turn heads in the conference Dell inspiron 1420 battery room.

Heat
During use, the ASUS B43J stayed relatively cool in our lap, and we never noticed excess heat when using it on flat surfaces. Dell vostro 1400 battery We tested temperatures at three key points after playing a Hulu clip at full screen for 15 minutes. The space between the G&H keys measured only 89 Dell CF623 battery degrees, the touchpad 90, and the middle of the underside at 91. The left side underneath gets the hottest, but even then the temperature wasn't Dell xps m1210 battery bothersome.

Keyboard and Touchpad
Like any good business notebook, the B43J includes a spill-resistant keyboard. The platform keys on the B43J are wide Dell latitude d610 battery and comfortable and offer good feedback when typing. The return is a bit mushier than we're used to, and our accuracy was slightly off. However, our main Dell KD476 battery complaint is shrunken right Shift key.

The 3.3 x 2-inch touchpad is large enough to be useful, but Dell 1525 Battery considering the size of the deck, ASUS could have been more generous. Still, the surface is slick and friction-free and the left and right mouse buttons underneath are large and Sony Laptop Battery responsive.

The B43J's business DNA is apparent not only from its aesthetics, but also from such features as a button to disable the Lenovo/IBM Laptop Battery touchpad--very useful for those who accidentally brush the surface while typing--and the ASUS Scene Switch toggle for presentations (more on this below) HP/Compaq Laptop Battery to the left of the keyboard. As on many ASUS notebooks, the button on the upper left pulls double duty, switching between power Dell Laptop Battery profiles when the user is logged into Windows and booting ExpressGate when the notebook is off or hibernating. A fingerprint reader sits on the lower right. The company even included a slot for a business card on the bottom of the good battery system.

Long before anyone ever heard of an iPad, Archos was churning out media-centric touchscreen apple akkus devices that, while not hugely popular, were well designed. While the company's stab at a Windows 7 slate flopped, the company has developed a range ibm akkus of Android tablets, from 2.8 inches (really, a tablet in name only) all the way up to 10 inches. The Archos 101 ($299) is the top-of-the-line model, and it's the thinnest and lightest 10-inch tablet on the market with a capacitive display. It also offers HDMI sony akkus output and a front-facing camera. Although the Archos 101 is far from perfect, it's a solid value-priced alternative to Apple's saus akkus device.

Unlike the Archos 9, there are no physical buttons on the face of the Archos 101. All of the 101's ports and buttons are on toshiba akkus the left side; from the top, there's a volume rocker, power, headphones, USB, microUSB, microSD card slot, and a mini HDMI port. At the bottom of all this is a saus akkus port for the power plug, the only way you can charge the 101. We wish you could simply use a USB port instead. To the left of the screen is a VGA sony akkus webcam.

The multitouch screen supports gestures such as pinch-to-zoom; we found it worked fairly smoothly and quickly in the ibm akkus browser as well as in games such as Angry Birds.

Unlike the G Tablet, the Archos 101 runs an unadorned Android 2.2 operating system, and apple akkus that's mostly a good thing. As we've seen, having a skin can tax even powerful processors such as the G Tablet's Tegra 2 CPU. The 101 comes with all the acer akkus Android live wallpapers; seeing the sky behind the moving grass change from day to night is a little touch that's even more appreciated on such a large screen. What you don't get are tablet-optimized apps with dual-pane views, which Samsung's hp notebook battery Galaxy Tab offers.

Since there's no physical buttons on the 101, the typical Android buttons (Search, Home, Settings, dell notebook battery and Back) are displayed as virtual buttons along the right side in landscape mode, and along the bottom in portrait mode. They remain there toshiba notebook battery regardless of what app you open.
