Tablet edition gives you handwriting recognition, yes, but there’s a lot you can do with a finger-driven on-screen mouse without it.

M912 accepts 2G RAM yes.

Hello Guys,

Why M912-V/X/M does not windows xp tablet edition ?

By the way, many of reviews always compare hardware, size etc of M12 with non tablet UMPC…but where are the purposes of a tablet, i.e writing with stylus, hand writing reconization? mutitouche,multiview etc ?

Can M912 accept 2GB ram ?

thank you for your replies guys

Mobilx will have a ‘module’ so I assume its internal.

No. I don’t think this will happen. They have obviously ordered CCFL backlit screens to keep costs down. I don’t see any change happening until they renew the device. Maybe 2009.
I havent heard officially but this is my (educated?) guess.

Chippy, any word direct from Gigabyte if they will be doing a 1280×768(wxga) LED backlit version of the m912 anytime soon?

The M912M-Version will also come with the 160 Gig drive - what I’ve heard.

It’s neighter the hd nor the resolution, it’s the technique of the backlight. the smaller version uses LEDs and the highres uses the old CCFL-method. LED is more energy-efficient, offers brighter colors and lower heat-production.

Thanks Steve, but why does the 80gb M version run supposedly cooler than the 160gb X/V models?
The lower capacity drive and resolution can’t be that frosty can it?
