JoshInRI, Is This Your Tablet?
Liliputing is reporting that HP introduced a tablet in late November with a Pentium N3510 CPU, 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD for $599. The CPU is based on Silvermont, the same architecture as the Atom Bay Trail processor in the Dell Venue 8 Pro and Asus Transformer Pad T100 tablets. It is supposed to offer the same performance and pretty decent battery life. What caught my attention was the 4GB of RAM, because all of the Bay Trail tablets that I've seen only come with 2GB RAM.
I wonder if this tablet will run Logos acceptably?
Josh, is this the tablet you've been waiting for?

I don't claim to be an expert, but I believe it would run it well enough to be productive. Of course it would run it better with more ram, but 4 GB is much better than 2 GB any day.
What is the difference in price between this and a similarly equipped Dell Venue? Are you sure it is a better deal?

Not sure Mr. Anderson. I keep hoping and waiting....though I confess (not that anyone will disagree) not too patiently.
I am hoping by March to have something like this:
- Affordable
- Lightweight
- Decent screen resolution for reading
- Detachable keyboard
- 4GB of ram, preferably more
- Good build
- Inexpensive (something less than $500 would be ideal)
Naturally I am dreaming. (My wife and stepson think I should just be content with my pentium Toshiba laptop)
I have seen detachables like you pointed me to Sir....the screen resolution isnt usually that good sadly.
Thanks so much for the hope this post momentarily reignited though. Happy New Year Kind Sir.

I am eyeballing an ipad Air 32gb 4g from T-mobile. They are possibly being bought out, and are advertizing (at least in my sprint dominated market) that anyone who buys an ipad from them gets unlimited free 4g for the life of the device.
Seems too good to be true.L2 lvl4 (...) WORDsearch, all the way through L10,

I looked at HP and started to configure the machine and it came to over 1K [:(]
Pressing on....Father God thank you for my Logos friends and the many wonderful things I already do have...and of course for saving one so lowly and unlovely as me.

Lenova IdeaPad Flex is not a traditional tablet since display cannot fold flat, but does have dual use mode.

While following a link provided by KS4J (thank you sir!), I read one of the most detailed tablet reviews I've seen to date, with links to many competing model reviews here. They cover every aspect and minute detail that I could think of, and several that hadn't occurred to me. Highly recommended as a resource for making informed decisions in this tablet vs. sub-notebook vs OtherMobileComputing environment.

#337! Wow, my 5+ year old laptop CPU is #266 and it's not speedy.

Interesting, eh? My laptop is #119 and its 2+ years old.... but then we're comparing (mostly) apples to oranges since our older mobile platform CPU's are variations on desktop CPU's and this list contains desktop, laptop, and highly specialized mobile CPU's designed for teensy tablets. The power required for my CPU and the heat generated by both the required power and speed, # of threads, etc..... simply wouldn't work well for light weight tablets.

Actually I misread the number and mine is #298 but I don't think this chart is too accurate seeing as my processor is identical in performance to #313. Mine has one additional feature turned on and was OEM only but otherwise they are the same silicon. It has a TDP of 25W so it's not that power hungry and I still get a couple of hours of battery life after 5+ years. Intel's tablet processors have long been terrible and they really need a star to overcome ARM. At any rate I can't really run any of Logos 5's advanced features without waiting for ages so I probably wouldn't notice a difference with this tablet ;-).

None of these are a fit for me. I am going to wait and see what the next few months bring I guess.
I want a detachable with decent screen, pen usage for highlighting and good use of Logos (when and if they ever make it touch friendly), and more than 4GB of ram onboard....and naturally all for no more than $500.00
Hey a guy can dream, right?
