  I must update. I must update. I must update.  Hey I am reminding myself to update. and soon!  So here it goes.
 I found out what the specs& nbsp; are in& nbsp; the New Averatec C3500 TabletPC Model.  AMD Athlon XP-
M 2200+  ( 1. 7Ghz)  512MB RAM up to 1GB 60- 80 GB HD DVD/
CD- R/ RW drive Full keyboard ( covertable style)  12. 1 Inch Screen 4 USB 2.
0 Ports 802. 11G Microsoft Windows Tablet PC Edition Up to 4 and 1/ 2 hours on a charge.  Very decent specs. and it will start at $ 1350.
so a kick ass deal!  With the one I have and if it is any indication that these little units are good ( and so far this one is kick ass)  then I think Averatec just helped make TabletPC a viable alternative for students finally.  If a product would have been available when I first headed off to class for that price I would have jumped all over it.  I am going to jump on this one as soon as I can because it is just kick ass.
 Averatec is also looking into doing a Centrino Laptop with high end graphics ( NVidia 5700U Mobile or ATi 9700 Mobile both with 128MB RAM,  a mid range Dothan Processor,  all crammed into a small laptop like I have. or in a more traditional 15. 4"
 setup.  They need to do a compact with HDTV setings 16* 9. nbsp;  That way there will be no wasted pixels for playing movies on these little machines.  I will say something about the performance of this little beast.
 It runs warm. you can tell.  It isn't super hot but could burn you if you are not careful.  The battery life that I see is generally a little better than what is usually reviewed.  I get around 3. 5 hours of medium use with a Cell Phone attached drawing power for internet service.
 The keyboard is fairly responsive although a little cramped.  I like the click feel for them indeed.  It has an annoying clunk that comes from the HD from time to time. it is the thermocoupling fluid that is re- adjusting. or whatever it is called.
 Well I passed out for a about half an hour and it is getting close to the next set of drugs. so I am going to zoink out some more.  Love to all. and hopefully& nbsp; a handy addition to my Laptop stable.
and then after tablet from Averatec. possibly a gamer from Averated Desktop P4 @  3. 0 HT Enabled,  512MB RAM,  15.
4"  screen,  60- 80GB HD,  DVD- R/
RW/ CD+ RW,  ATi 9600 64MB RAM,  and some other bits. unless they get the Dothan System out.
at and at that price point with higher graphics Ati 9700 128MB or Nvidia 5700U 128MB. if I knew for sure they were going to do that then I would go save for that and get it when it hits because it will be a hot portable,  gaming ready.  and just overall goodness.  Peace Let me drop this old RAVER saying on ya'll.  P.
L. U. R.  ( Peace,  Love,
 Unity,  Respect) if we all showed it and praticed it daily the world would be a better place. a lot more polite at the very least.  Blaaaaa
