Acer TravelMate TMC204TMi 12.1" Convertible Tablet PC Review
Acer TravelMate TMC204TMi 12.1″ Convertible Tablet PC Review from Jeffrey S Schweitzer dentate. All it is meant to be, This is my first tablet PC. I also own a Shuttle desktop that I spec’d out myself, a Sony Vaio laptop and and iMac. I wanted this tablet for notetaking on the fly and some other specialized applications, and I was attracted by the high-end features at a reasonable price.
I have owned the device for a month now, had it in daily use, and I have not been disappointed. First, I am finding many new uses for a tablet, like doing my Quicken finances–much easier when you can point to a cell and tap in the numbers.
The device itself–its case is plastic, but solid and good quality. The screen has the disadvantage of a fairly narrow viewing angle and compared to the Sony Vaio Xbrite, it is not spectacular, but still good. The sliding track mechanism works reliably and feels solid. It does limit the angle of use when in notebook configuration, though.
The fingerprint recognition works about 2 times out of 3. The screen does need to be recalibrated from time to time. And I find that Windows XP shutdown is sometimes slow–seems to delay closing Explorer.
That is it for the complaints though. The pen works great, eraser and all. The pen on paper feel is excellent. Bluetooth and wireless work flawlessly out of the box. The machine is really very quiet. Battery life–there are two batteries included, the lighter of which gives only about one and one-half hours, but the larger gives well over three in my experience. There are ports and connectors everywhere.
In short, this is not the Motion tablet, but for what it is, I believe it is an extraordinarily good value unless you plan to use it outdoors in direct sunlight or carry it in your hand all day long. I am very happy with my choice.
