My Next Laptop - an XT
17 January 08 06:24 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
A new year, another new laptop, incorporating the lessons learned from last time . Interesting choice of nomenclature for the new Dell tablet range. <memory lane> My first PC (mostly-)compatible was an XT-class machine . I think we got it in 1988, Read More...
Anthology Of Interest
18 December 07 12:24 AM | tristank | 6 Comments   
Okay, so there's no interest here, but perhaps an anthology anyway. Yes I've been gone a while; another computer packed it in (this time without my own personal brand of assistance ), I've been off to India (usually 5.5 hrs difference from Sydney, but Read More...
A Tiny Measure Of Progress
15 April 07 12:16 AM | tristank | 0 Comments   
Prompted by Joseph's lamentations , I thought I'd check on how Tiny was doing in the performance index stakes. Not that I was planning on any schadenfreude or outright gloating, of course. The post from December 2006 has the following details: Original Read More...
P1610 Drivers for Windows Vista make Tristank Happy
10 February 07 06:32 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
I'm in Seattle at our TechReady conference (actually, it's over, I fly back tomorrow), and just noticed that my p1610 has a bluetooth logo on the case, but no driver. Not that I have anything I'm dying to use it with here, but, you know, principle and Read More...
My First Tablet-ish PC

Back in 1998, I bought a Cassiopea Windows CE 2.0 Handheld PC. It was just under half the size of my current infatuation (the P1610 ) used a fold-out form factor with a 640x200 screen (CGA hi-res!) had a small and fiddly QWERTY calculator-key-style keyboard, Read More...
Windows Vista Performance on P1610

How does a half-size PC perform, you ask? Let's find out what Windows Vista thinks of the setup: Original score: 2.0 {2.7,2.9, 2.0,2.4 ,3.7} Re-test today: 2.4 {2.7,2.9, 3.8,2.4 ,3.7} I wonder what was behind the jump in perf between Setup and now... Read More...
P1610 First Impressions

I got my Fujitsu P1610 Lifebook care of Hugo on Wednesday, and I have a rather long post on it coming (I know, I could do a bunch of shorter posts, but that'd wreck my quality-is-not-quantity posting metrics for the month!). For now, I'd just like to Read More...
Fujitsu Lifebook P1610 - The First Day (and a bit)
07 December 06 10:42 PM | tristank | 6 Comments   
On Wednesday, my care package from Tegatech arrived - a brand new P1610! I thought there must have been some sort of mistake when the Mail Guy handed me the package, as it was obviously far too light to be a laptop and included bumf. Plus, it was just Read More...
Searching For A Better Notebook

Back from Fiji. The resort and the people were lovely, the snorkeling amazing, and I'm told the diving was pretty good too. Right back to business: I need some serious retail therapy. I went away with a powerful laptop I barely used (I actually set a Read More...
