NEC Versa LitePad Tablet PC 933-MHz Pentium III-M Review
NEC Versa LitePad Tablet PC 933-MHz Pentium III-M Review from Jazzspielen. Pricey but worth it…, I’ve been using the NEC Versa Litepad since it was first released several months ago, and it’s a great machine. The word recog. software is probably about an 8 on a 10-point scale — not as good as Transcriber on my iPAQ, but if I’m careful about penmanship, it is about 97% accurate (in fact, I wish I could load Transcriber — would be easier and faster writing with better recognition). Battery life is very good — I can take notes for well over two hours, and the larger stylus is easy to write with. It has a long cord from the AC adaptor that is mostly unobtrusive, so you can recharge and keep writing. Customers/clients don’t mind the Tablet b/c it’s slim and looks like a writing pad. Resolution is very good — increasing font size and icons makes everything quite readable, especially when I’m writing quickly and trying to get speech verbatim. The keyboard is flimsy with poor key travel and spacing, but I rarely use it anyway — I really use it as a “glorified PDA” mostly. Using a Compact Flash card is great for transferring data b/w machines. Comes with WiFi, but I haven’t gone wireless yet. Plugging in a flash card with digital photos from my Canon automatically starts a slide show — cool feature. Ethernet connection makes it easy to go online. The unit gets warm but not uncomfortable — especially compared to Toshiba and Compaq’s tablets. I’m getting ‘burn in’ in the lower part of the display — bummer — but it’s not a big problem. Since I use it primarily for note-taking with clients, I haven’t really put it through its paces or exploited all its capabilities, but I’m impressed so far overall and like it better than the other Tablet PCs I tried out (Toshiba, Acer, Compaq). I’ve also noticed that it takes less effort to write on a Tablet with stylus than with pen on notepad. I’ve owned two other NEC notebooks and always had good luck. Looks like they’ve produced another winner. It is pricey, but I notice it’s already $700 cheaper than when I bought it when first released.
