まだ遅延が目立つな。デストクップコンピューター用OSであるW­indowsに、タッチパネル前提で作られたiOS並みの挙動を­期待するのは難しいか。

I am seriously thinking about buying this thing but I've heard differing opinions about the battery life. When you say 5-7 hour range which CPU is that for? May I ask if you went with the i5 or i7 configuration?

@hagbard012 We tested the 1.2GHz Core i7 640UM version. Battery life has become relative in this day and age of excellent CPU and OS power management. Systems go into standby so quickly and effectively that a battery charge lasts a long time under normal use. If you go uninterrupted full throttle, it's less. Btw, the full report is on RuggedPCReview.

Grafight2, the Motion tablets are "vertical market" products built to higher specs than consumer products, hence the higher price. However, I am convinced we'll soon be seeing iPad style tablets with combination capacitive/electromagnetic digitizers like Wacom and N-Trig offer. Those will combine the convenience of touch with the precision of a pen.

Thank you for the review. I like the option of touch or pen.

This would be an iPad alternative if it didn't start at $2,000.

How much did it cost configured the way yours is?

Very helpful - expensive tablet! one can only dream~

on a side note, I think you have a very calming voice. (-:

The J3500's battery capacity is 60 watt hours, and it draws as little as 10 or 11 watts, so battery life may, depending on usage type and power management settings, well be in the 5-7 hour range.

Excellent video. If you were to use it to take notes at a meeting, how long will the batteries last? Thanks for posting a great demo of the unit.
