Assessment after six months of use (I love it even more now)
-----------------------
By : A. Chopra

I am very happy with the tablet after six months of use. In my initial assessment, I had mentioned that hybrid may not be as good as a slate. However, I have been using my hybrid in tablet mode for over 75% of time. For the 25% of time I use it as alaptop, I lik the fact that I can turn it into a laptop and use. In some cases (like writing a formal email, excel applications, and some aspects of net surfing ) I like it better in tablet mode as it gives better control. I also know some people who almost never use it in tablet mode (it takes a while to get used to writing rather than typing).

In hindsight, I could have given up the optical drive as I hardly use it. Please note that I use my tablet along with a desktop. An external optical drive would have been better for me.

Initially I used to convert handwritten stuff to text but soon realized that I do not need to do it in most cases; now I convert less than 15% of my handwritten stuff to text. In fact editing and correcting takes up too much time and thus I convert only those documents that I need to share with others.

Onenote rocks! I wonder what use tablet would be without it. With PDF support in the next version of onenote, it should be able to do almost everything I need. I use onenote as a key application in my tablet.

I discovered mindmanager for tablet and soon got hooked on to it. I use it daily and with the new version of Mindmanager, I use onenote a little less. I recommend Mindmanager and Onenote for tablet for any user. There are several sites giving more details on these applications for anyone interested in finding out more.

I also annotate my documents and do a lot of reading in the tablet mode.

Overall, my level of enthusiasm for tablet has not declined over the last six months. In fact, I dont know how I would survive without it any more (my pc usage habits have changed since tablet).

Here are some ways in which I use the tablet.
1. Onenote or mindmanager (or both at the same time) to take notes. mindmanager doesn't allow recording
2. Office applications for annotation
3. MS reader for reading books
4. Onenote for research on the net
5. Synctoy to synch tablet and desktop
6. Snipping tool for visual communiation over email
7. Sometimes I use handwritten notes in email
8. Onenote for writing ideas at lenght - including drawings etc. This is when I am developing an idea by writing it out.
9. Mindmanager for writing ideas when feeling chaotic or when developing a new idea with random thoughts. This is when I am developing ideas by systematic consideration of all aspects, when doing a broad search, or when outlining.

The only frustrating aspect of the tablet is while net surfing for new sites as ink recognition is not 100% accurate. However, I use some workarounds to make this aspect more pleasant (for example - a lot of links on the browser and a RSS reader). But when doing a deep search on a single search string, tablet is much better as I can use onenote to store content from hundreds of sites.

Another aspect of this tablet that could bother some people is that it cannot be used outdoors. Last week, I used it outdoors (probably for the second time) and it was a bit hard to see the screen. As it wasn't sunny at all, I could use it outdoors but if you plan to use your tablet outdoors a lot, this may not work for you.

I like the SD card support as I can tansfer my pictures without using a USB cable.

The wireless adapter has worked well for me. I had some problem a month back but it turned out to be something wrong with my router. I replaced the router and everything seems to be fine now.

I increased the RAM to 1 GB and it made the tablet work much better. Mindmanager made the tablet a little slow. I found 512M on ebay for 40 bucks and it really helped the performance of the tablet.

Speech recognition doesn't work well for me as I tend to lose my line of thinkign when trying to slow down while speaking. hopefully, speech recognition would be much faster in future. until then, I am happy to write or type.

The weight of the tablet doesn't bother me anymore as I place it on a table while writing. When using it in bed, I use a breakfast tray to hold it. When sitting on the couch, I put it on a cushion. I never hold it in my arm and try to write anymore. Sometimes, i put it on the lap when using it for a short period (it does get hot at the bottom after extended use).

Overall, a great tablet. I like it even more after six months of use.
