Tablet PCs – not so discreet . . .

I suppose I’d better give some background first . . .

My name is Nick, and I’m a tablet PC user. I have a Motion LE1600 that I use as my main PC at work (and alot at home as well).

Many moons ago, I read a book called ‘Seize the Work Day ‘ by Michael Linenberger (link). In it, when talking about tablet PCs, he said it was less obtrusive using a tablet PC than a normal laptop to take notes – as the screen isn’t between you and the other people in the meeting. Put the tablet PC in a leather folio, and then it’s nicely disguised . . .

Must be an american thing. Had a research meeting yesterday that started with 10 minutes of me explaining what a tablet pc was, and giving a quick demo. It ended with me giving a quick 5 minutes on how good I found it.

So much for unobtrusive !
