Anyone interested in a Compaq TC-1100 tablet? When I bought it last year, it was 1.5 yrs into the factory refurb. Still running like atop.

$249?

Mark,
Can you give me some of the information for me like hard drive ,etc. Also how
much are you wanting for it. I have a computer generated report in excel. It is a check list and I was wondering if the tablet would work good with this.

Hi Mark, found your post very interesting. Where did you buy the toughbook at that price.

I wish that I could say that I got mine for that price, but I paid $325.00 for mine. Send me a email and i will try to help you out on your question.

I went to EBAY and found that item....looks interesting.

There you go Tony, now you are learning.

Here is some information that has been requested.

Pretty much any angle. Once in a great while when you are in the sun, it can get hard to read. Your excel program will work very well.

I bought it from a Boston Univ. Prof. He left everything on it that he had loaded instead of formatting and restoring it to the org. settings. it has the restore disk with it. Laptop case, and ac adapter. I use a external usb cd-rw with it to burn cds on site. The cd does not go with it. But they are very easy to find and at a great price. I will more than likely format it and reload the system, unless the person who buy it, wants me to leave all of the programs loaded. The reason I say that, is when you start it up, you get a couple of warning messages of not finding certain programs that he had to delete out. These do not cause any problems with the operation of the tablet. He has a alot of great programs, IE Microsoft office, adobe photo shop to name a few. There are some minor scratches on the bottom of it. This by no means take away from it. The screen is clean with no bad pixels or scratches. I have been thinking about just hanging onto it for a backup, but if some one wants it for the my asking price of $ 599.00 it is theirs. You can not buy even a used Compaq tablet on the net for under $800.00.
Here are the specs that I found;

This looked fun but the keyboard is very small.

Brian, in answer to your original question -

I am got a Toshiba Portege tablet PC when I first started and LOVE it! The last one died tragically after years of faithful service and having the hell beat out of it.

I got the new one on eBay for $650 and it works great. It is fast and has plenty of memory (40GB), plus an SD port that I can use to incorporate pix from my camera with out cables, etc.

I would be lost without my SD port on my laptop.

However, recently I learned you can buy a USB adapter for the SD cards so you can read them on your regular computer. That's on my list.

I never understood this whole SD card reader thing...

I plug my camera into the usb port and "walla"...takes me straight to the pictures....

Whats the big deal..am I missing something????

Tony Tony Tony, you are always missing something.

If you plug your card right into the 'puter, it saves the battery life of your camera. And you do not jack around with the cords.

And WTF is a "regular computer" Wendy??????????????
