Chris Hewitt is thinking about the next round of hardware upgrades he is considering. Its something that has been on my mind too. I really want a Tablet PC because the interface really appeals to me for a number of things that I like to do (diagramming, taking notes, drawing), but at the moment the screen resolutions are just so small, my two year old Dell is an Inspiron 8500 and in many respects it still out performs current machines.

If I wanted to extend the life of my machine over the next six to twelve months I would have the following on my shopping list:

  • 2GB RAM (I currently have 1GB).
  • A high speed hard disk.
  • A new battery.

When is Dell going to produce a Tablet PC (full stop) for power users like me?

P.S. The Nemo reference is probably something to do with an internal intranet page with have that keeps track of where people are – since we all travel a bit.
