I'm planning on using the tablet functions in my classes, mostly shorthand and math problems and was wondering how it has performed for others. Any gripes?

It is performing as expected using XP (touch) and Win 7. (Gigabyte kindly provided apps and drivers for Win 7) My next projects are : 1. To find / install a Linux touch OS. 2. An instant-on OS. 3. Boot Win 7 from a USB-mounted 16 GB SD card (ongoing) More later, ScottyJavea Dear All,

I was looking at the Gigabyte T1028 for portability and to capture handwriting i.e. i do a lot of brainstorming sessions and want to project the screen whilst capturing notes/brainstorming. I dont particular need handwriting recognition software but just want to capture notes. My iPAC seems to be able to this but is too small and cant project. You've used this netbook extensively. Do you think I can easily use the T1028 for my intended purpose? Chippy, Brad from Liliputing.com referred me to you.

I mean it's a bit of a waste at this day and age to have this beautiful big swivel screen, good battery life, on a laptop that can't play full HD movies, or HD flash smoothly.

I also have the 3G Modem, that works like a charm. In the forth day I had to make a support my remote controlling several servers, and I had a party, I went to the back of my car, my wife was driving (very fast, because we were late) and had no problem with the internet connection (we drove about 20km). The only thing that I might buy is the 6 pack battery. I have my T1028 for 2 months and I’m very happy with it.

In fact, it's the only feature that might be difficult to add "cheap and dirty" for an average user and that is the reason why I am still waiting for someone to offer a decent 8.9" convertible (need a keyboard!) with a multitouch screen. The T91 looks attractive in this matter, I only hope it will be easy to upgrade its meagre SSD. Are there any rumors about a multitouch screen?

Well maybe that won't be a big improvement, since it seems to still use the 945GSE chipset instead of US15W. (which can be a very good thing, depending on what you do) By the way, shouldn’t the T1028X provide better battery figures by using the N280?
