When the tablet is held in landscape mode, the two volume buttons are on the left side. VGP-BPS9 A headphone jack and SIM Card hp 530 battery slot line the top, and on the bottom you'll find a tiny proprietary power jack, a microUSB port (for VGP-BPS9/B syncing with a PC) and a mini HDMI port. We wish the hp 510 battery Xoom could charge over USB.

As you might imagine, the real focus of attention is the Xoom's 10.1-inch display pavilion dv2000 battery (1280 x 800 pixels). VGP-BPS9/S We could easily tell that this panel was sharper than the iPad's 9.7-inch screen (1024 x 768) when we loaded NYTimes.com. pavilion dv6500 battery VGP-BPS9A/B The Xoom displayed several more headlines without having to scroll down. Both screens are about as bright, but the Xoom's screen had a cooler, VGP-BPS13 bluish cast compared to the iPad's warmer, yellowish tones. However, the IPS screen on the iPad has wider pavilion dv6000 battery viewing angles, and we noticed that the Xoom's panel picked up fingerprints VGP-BPS13A/B faster.

Encased in black plastic, the 12G has a conservative style that's sleek and attractive. vgp-bps13s The pavilion dv2500 battery tablet's black back, which sports a subtle bModo logo, is rubberized, providing a solid grip that we appreciated. We didn't vgp-bps13/s enjoy, however, how pavilion dv9000 battery quickly the tablet's glossy screen showed fingerprints and smudges.

Around the bModo 12G's edges are plenty of ports and connections for a tablet. On the left side of the device are a pavilion dv8000 vgp-bps13a/s battery micro-HDMI and two USB ports, plus an SD card reader. A SIM card slot allows the 12G to access 3G cellular data networks, though you'll vgp-bps13as have to pavilion tx1000 battery configure the settings yourself. The tablet can't be charged over USB, but must be attached to its cradle via a proprietary vgp-bps13b/b port or with its AC adapter. The dock itself is sturdy and features three USB ports of its own, along with Ethernet, microphone, and headphone jacks.

The bModo 12G is squarely targeted at those evo n410c battery who desire the full-blown functionality of Windows in a slim, vgp-bps13b/s portable, touch-screen form. Does this device succeed were other Windows tablets have failed before it? Read on to find out if the $799 slate can hold its apple notebook akku own against the evo n610c battery competition.

Design
We did a double take when we first saw the bModo 12G. acer battery That's because it's virtually identical in v3000 battery size, shape, and weight to the ExoPC Slate we recently reviewed. Measuring 11.6 x 7.6 x 0.6 inches, the bModo 12G is big and bulky. It's v6000 battery also heavy, tipping the scales at 2.2 pounds, making the apple battery iPad (1.5 pounds) seem light. The 12G is also more than twice as heavy as the Samsung Galaxy Tab (13.6 ounces). Still, the 12G does boast a much larger hp battery screen and needs extra chassis space to keep its Atom cq50 battery N450 CPU cool; in fact, we could sometimes hear the distracting whir of a fan. dell battery Holding the 12G in one arm caused strain hp compaq nc6400 battery pretty quickly.

Design
This slim 10.2 x 7.3 x 0.95-inch netbook definitely has the wow factor when it comes to looks. Between the blade-like taper imb battery EliteBook 2730P Battery on the front and the in-your-face aquamarine color, the D260 will stand out wherever owners whip it out. The netbook also sony battery comes in black, EliteBook 2530P Battery charcoal, pink, and purple, all with a flake pattern.

Keyboard and Touchpad
Acer's FineTip keyboard on the D260 feels slightly apple laptop battery cramped. The thinkpad t61 battery layout is flat like a chiclet-style keyboard, but the keys are close together like a traditional keyboard. This arrangement resulted in some typos, but at least the keys themselves supplied snappy thinkpad t60 battery acer laptop battery feedback.

The 3.0 x 1.5-inch multitouch touchpad is nice and wide and has the same smooth texture dell laptop battery thinkpad t60p battery as the surrounding deck; there are lines to delineate it both visually and by touch. We were able to execute multitouch gestures hp laptop easily and experienced thinkpad r60 battery none of the jumpiness we saw previously on the Aspire One D255.

Design
The Xoom is streamlined and sturdy but not exactly elegant. Google designed Android 3.0 so that tablet makers wouldn't need ibm laptop battery thinkpad r60e battery to include the traditional buttons found on phones. There's no Home, Back, Search, or Menu hard keys; it's all software. sony laptop battery However, we think thinkpad x60 battery Motorola tried to make the Xoom look a bit too clean. The power button is on the back of the device. This apple key isn't that difficult to find by feel, thinkpad X60S battery but its placement will still confuse and turn off many users.

Despite being smaller than the iPad (9.8 x 6.6 x 0.5 inches vs 9.6 x 7.5 x 0.5 inches), the Xoom actually weighs more thinkpad t40 acer battery (1.6 vs 1.5 pounds). This extra tenth of a pound doesn't sound like much, but we noticed it when holding the device for extended periods of time. dell 3000 v200 battery Although the iPad's aluminum back looks and feels classier, we like the soft-touch finish on the Xoom's rear. In addition to the power button, Acer akku the 3000 n100 battery Xoom's back also houses two powerful stereo speakers and a 5-megapixel camera accompanied by a dual-LED flash.

The long, single mouse button bar on the D260 had some stiffness to it. We prefer two distinct buttons, but at least it's long enough to Acer akku 3000 n200 battery distinguish between the left and right sides by feel.

It's not an oversized phone with tablet stuff tacked on. The Motorola Xoom is the first Sony akku slate 3000 c200 battery that's powered by Android 3.0, an OS built from the ground up with larger screens in mind. We're talking a completely fresh Toshiba akku interface with interactive 3000 y410 battery widgets, a revamped notification system, and lots of 3D eye candy. The hardware is pretty powerful, too, including Nvidia's dual-core Tegra processor and front and back cameras. The Xoom costs a pretty steep $599 with Lenovo/IBM akku a two-year hp ev088aa battery contract ($799 without) with 3G connectivity, but you'll be able to upgrade to 4G for free by the second quarter Fujitsu akku of this year. Flash support is also on the way. So hp hstnn-ob53 battery how well does the Xoom work, and what about the apps?

Equipped with a single front-facing 1.3 megapixel Webcam, hp compaq nx7300 battery we observed decent video Apple quality on Skype calls but callers reported that our transmitted images were often blocky, pixelated, and had unnatural colors.

The bModo 12G is squarely targeted at those who Dell desire the full-blown functionality laptop battery of Windows in a slim, portable, touch-screen form. Does this device succeed were other Windows tablets have failed before it? Read on to find HP/Compaq Laptop Battery out if the $799 slate can hold its own against HP the competition.

Lenovo r50e battery,Sony VGP-BPS9/B Battery Acer was among the first companies to bring Fujitsu a dual-core Atom netbook to market for VGP-BPS9/S a price meant to trounce the competition. Though the Aspire One D255 offered an impressive Lenovo design, pretty good performance, and a low $329 VGP-BPS13 price, a wonky touchpad and other drawbacks outweighed the benefits. This time, Acer is determined to get it right with the Aspire One D260, offering a slick dual-core system that fixes the flaws of its Toshiba predecessor and provides features you normally don't find in VGP-BPS9/B a netbook--such as 2GB of RAM and Windows Home Premium. These perks come with Sony a higher price tag of $399 (though you can find it for about $40 VGP-BPS9A/B less online). Is the D260 worth more than its predecessor and competing $299 netbooks?

Unlike the lower-cost Toshiba mini NB505, the blue color Acer battery on the VGP-BPS9 D260 isn't just for the lid; it extends to the deck, surrounding the black keyboard. The blue of the backlit power button on the upper left doesn't match the color palette very well, but that's a minor vgp-bps13s Apple battery nitpick.

Though it weighs a bit less than most other netbooks--2.6 pounds instead of 2.8--the Aspire Asus battery One D260 vgp-bps13/s feels even lighter, perhaps because of its streamlined and compact chassis. We like that the bottom panel is smooth and Dell battery comes off in one piece, vgp-bps13a/s similar to what we've seen on recent HP netbooks and small ultraportables. This makes upgrading components easy.

Heat
During testing and use, the D260 stayed relatively cool. We measured temperatures between the G and H keys (84 degrees vgp-bps13as HP battery Fahrenheit), on the touchpad (81 degrees), and at the center of the underside (87 degrees) and found them all well below our acceptable threshold. However, vgp-bps13b/b the area by the vent, which points down instead of out to the side, reached 104 degrees, causing some discomfort when we were using the vgp-bps13b/s netbook on our lap.
