MacBook Touch in the Works?

07.26.08 | Permalink | Comment?

The hot rumor today is that Apple is planning to unveil a top-secret laptop, our would-be MacBook Touch.

Reports surfaced this week that Steve Jobs and Co. are working wholeheartedly towards the completion of a touchscreen laptop, believed to be unveiled in just a few months from now.

There are no facts as of yet which show concretely that this mystery touchscreen is the MacBook Touch although this is the belief of many, and Apple fans from all over the world are dying to hear more on this rumor and have someone from the Apple mill set the record straight.

MacBook Rumor

The comments that started this whole thing came during a conference call this week which involved Apple CFO, Peter Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer was quoted discussing the company’s second quarter earnings, mentioning “future product transition, which I can’t discuss today”.

The Apple MacBook Plus would be the computer of our dreams, capturing all the function and feature imaginable and combining that with Apple’s current technology, interface and design language.

We have seen before how Apple dominates the market and upstages pretty much all other competitors time and time again, and so it is no wonder that so many people are eager to hear more, focused on figuring out just what it was that Oppenheimer was speaking of and what they could possibly be bringing to the table now.

Rumors about an Apple tablet computer have been circulating for years and this is not the first time that legitimate media has reported on such news.

This time things are optimistically different, or at least we hope so. The vague hints that Apple has thrown our way have certainly got us all excited again and although some people don’t see the need for an Apple tablet, most of us would be eagerly waiting in line the second a confirmation was made on this story.

There are certainly non-believers who are sure this is just another rumor and nothing but, and that we are way off base. Take Michael Gartenberg, a technology analyst at Jupiter Research, who feels that:

A laptop line at a cheap price point aimed at the education market that’s built cheaper seems to make more sense to me. But in the end we’ll more than likely all be proven wrong, and Apple will produce something that has nothing to do with these things.

We will stay hopeful however, and be sure to keep you updated with any and all news on this story as it becomes available to us.

Lightweight Rugged Tablet PC: GETAC E100

07.14.08 | Permalink | Comment?

Getac introduced the E100 in early 2008 as a light, versatile rugged Tablet PC for field and customer service applications and since then has become incredibly favored by computer users around the world.

Lightweight at just over three pounds, there are a ton of respectable features offered by this device.

To discuss this Tablet PC, let’s begin by discussing the excellent display that is offered. featuring an 8.4″ TFT SVGA transmissive display, you can get a superbright 800 nit display as an option which improves daylight readability.

The touchscreen is another of the favorite features, making it easier and more convenient for the user to navigate and take advantage of the different functions.

The E100’s resistive touch panel controller communicates with the processor via USB and is very quick. Keep in mind that if you intend to operate the device primarily with your fingers, you have the option to set it so that the driver stops reporting points when movement is within a pre-defined range.

This way you will have no more mistakes of something hitting your touchscreen and have the device accidentally performing functions.

Of course because this Tablet PC is presented as being dynamically rugged, its design and construction are its most appealing aspects.

Getac E100

On the left side of the E100 is a RJ45 Gigabit LAN connector and two USB 2.0 ports, all which have separate rubber plugs. On the right side is an indent that serves as a garage for the 4-inch-long black plastic stylus, and also present is a Kensington lock slot that lets you physically secure the computer with a Kensington wire cable.

Next we will take a look at the top, where there is an audio jack, and the bottom the power connector, protected with a door with an integrated rubber plug.

One of the most loved features of this Tablet PC comes on its exterior, in particular the four thick rubber bumpers which let you know that you do not have to baby this machine.

It is more than able to stand up to wear and tear regardless of the environment you are keeping it in, and it can definitely survive a fall.

There are plenty of additional features on top of this including a SmartCard reader, ExpressCard slot, and the ability to be equipped with integrated GPS and your choice of 3G wireless network connectivity.

If you need a Tablet PC that is going to be strong and durable and able to last, the GETAC E100 will make an ideal choice. Just take a look at the functional features and durable housing of this Tablet PC and it is easy to see what a great purchase it will be.
