Washington Post Eo vs Q1 Review Seems Flawed

Posted on 12 May 2006 by



The [url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/11/AR2006051101865.html]Wahington Post[/url] just ran a story comparing the Q1 against the TabletKiosk eo and which is better.

The review starts out good enough just comparing the features and then the reviewer says, “The Q1 lasted only 1.75 hours on a single charge, and the EO lasted about 2.25 hours”. This is strange since so far the battery figures we’ve seen have been reversed with the Q1 getting better battery life than the eo.

They also say, “In addition, you can connect to a second monitor with either machine, which lets you extend your desktop, use the external display alone, or show the same screen on both displays” which isn’t possible on the eo right out of the box.

so I am assuming either they got the machines mixed up or they have a review system with a bigger battery and different options at the Washington Post. But besides that, it’s a nice feature comparing review.
