On the delivery of an excellent Windows 7 tablet. The S1080. THIS ONLY APPLIES TO WINDOWS 7 USERS. ANDROID USERS NEED NOT READ ANY FURTHER.

I have had mine for about a week now and it performs flawlessly. I installed an SSD drive which makes it even better, I am more comfortable about moving it around and rotating the screen to portrait when I need to.

Never mind the naysayers. Windows 7 touch is fine for business use once you know how to use it properly and with the added mouse pointer and buttons the tablet is great!

Keep up the good work.

If you do upgrade it. I would just increase the display resolution, but leave everything else as is.
The size is great.
Available ports are excellent. Exactly what we require in business. Consumers would like HDMI and micro SD and sub 500gram weights. But for business what you've done is great!
Processor is fine. perhaps the video processor could be upgraded to perhaps an ION or Radeon or even the Intel 4500HD or something.
I love the case/wallet cover.
Hard disk size and type is fine
Perhaps release an SSD version of the same tablet.
I absolutely adore the mouse and buttons. Best feature!! award. Thanks for making them work in DOS  and the BIOS.

I am happy that you think so highly of it and everything is to your liking. It is like a breath of fresh air to have someone come onto the forum who doesn't have a problem as that is mostly what people want to moan about.

Glad that you enjoy using it. ;)

It's out of stock at previous resellers and the ETA keeps slipping. Is it discontinued?

Hi

I really don't know for a fact but I would guess that it has been the focus of an upgrade and we shall see that come out shortly.

Hopefully based on the N2800 CPU.

Higher graphics performance (based on latest benchmark I saw) and lower overall wattage.
Nice!!

Just remember to keep the existing ports.
