Re: Mini or Small Laptop for .NET Development

I'm still getting used to using the keyboard, but I must say I like the 
little PDC laptop. I've never had a tablet before and enjoy that much more 
than I thought I would. I also like the multi-touch trackpad. I'm not sure 
how sophisticated it is compared to other things in this space as I haven't 
really kept up here, but it is ok. You want to add the synaptics driver to 
get the full support. That didn't make it into the PDC image.

I really hate the mouse buttons. A fingerprint scanner and smartcard reader 
would have been nice. I haven't even considered updating RAM or disk yet.

Really glad I went to the PDC this year. :) The show itself was really good 
and I would have been happy without the new toy.
