I like real-world user reviews, so even though I’m not really into Tablet PCs as a form factor (live by the keyboard; die by the keyboard, I say), it’s good to know that Marc Eisenstadt’s experiences with an HP TC1100 tablet laptop are favorable—it makes it easier to understand what it is tablet fans like about their machines. One thing that caught my eye—and it’s not really a tablet thing, but whatever—is that the TC1100’s suspend button actually works as it should. One of the first things that sold me on my Powerbook was the ability to close it whenever without worrying if everything would be there when I opened it back up. I mean, if Apple—who are known to huff ether throughout the design process—can make a laptop that wakes up in just a couple of seconds, everybody else should be able to, too.
