Why the hell do i need an ipad?

I have a Sony Vaio P (I purchased for $700US) with a 1600 by 768 pixel screen, 2GB ram,1.86ghz (intel z540 chip), 128GB SSD (Sony OEM not runcore -_-) & ipod nano (2008 model) and a blackberry bold (9000)
I love the crisp pictures my Sony P provides, the res is worse on the ipad specs
I don’t care if the screen is slightly larger, My laptop is smaller, weighs lighter and fits the purpose of space efficiency and portability. It has a spaced out keyboard and the beta version of MS Office 2010 on it. Apple’s ‘killer app store’ provokes a loud yawn and sure it has 1-5% (some) practical value, most of the apps are novelty crap and the only one to defend it’s necessity to the death seem to be apple fanboys or dullards whose last major electronic purchase was the NES in the late ’80s… I am sick of the plants on radio who promote this crap, the reviewers who seem to be on Jobs’ payroll and others who think this is an ‘economical solution’ at US $500+, it makes me sick… especially when I think about the elderly who’ve never heard of a tablet PC and get suckered into purchasing this device because of the large colourful screen and reading utilities make it easier to access their books and newspapers. Sure that alone is worth 500 smackers plus your credit details, data payments and download charges for the material. So far no apps have been created to make it a worthwhile purchase at any price ($1 even) I wouldn’t waste any of my wi-fi, money or time on it, unless I was paid a princely sum.

Anybody interested in a Sahara i440d Tablet PC great for school? Or suggestions on how to sell it?

I have a three month old Tablet that is very nice, it has a 2gb RAM, 80gb hard drive, 3 yr warranty, biometric fingerprint scanner, Plustek opticbook scanner, stand, and MS office on it.

I just don’t want this great Tablet to go to waste- I’ve posted this on Tablet PC forums and craigslist. Does anybody else have suggestions for selling it?

Very Sluggish Laptop?

I have a relatively new laptop, which is a Gateway M275 Tablet PC, 40 GB hard drive, 512 MB of RAM.

It originally came with Windows XP Tablet PC edition. But of course, I wanted to upgrade, so I got Windows Vista Ultimate, and I think it is great. On top of that, I got Microsoft Office 2007 to boot.

However, my computer has been SO slow, it is horrible. If I need to get work done in a hurry, it takes FOREVER. I keep getting programs that don’t respond, laptop freezes for two minutes, then unfreezes again, etc. It’s horrible.

I have recently purchased a 2 GB ReadyBoost flash drive, and has seem to help a bit, but doesn’t cut the cake too much.

Is there ANY way I can speed up my system? I try to close as many applications as I need to, and it still doesn’t help. I don’t want to buy anything else for my laptop, because I have already spent a fortune. Free software? Tweaks? Anything?

I appreciate all help! It’s driving me crazy! Thanks so much!!! :)
I really don’t want to switch operating systems again, for the money I have spent, and I have talked to a Gateway represenative and they told me that my laptop will be able to handle Vista, as long as I update my RAM, which I bought ReadyBoost. I love my laptop, and don’t want to get another one either.

Just need a good boost without spending any money!

can I run OS X on my AMD Desktop?

I have an iBook, and I love it! I want to run OS X on my desktop, and I know that you can run it on an intel platform, but I don’t know about running it on an AMD platform. (I have an AMD Athlon XP 1.9GHz) it haz 380GB hard drive, and 512MB of RAM.

Thanks.

PS< if theres an emulator, I need a free one!
