ok,..... im lookin' into buying a tablet notebook,.... it has to be 13" or a little bit smaller,...
im gonna use this mainly for school,.... but i want it to do pretty much everything,..... open/run softwares at a decent speed,..... something that has a good CPU,.... nothing overkill,.... read / write CD and DVD,..... and atleast 1GB of RAM

i dont think i'll be playing games on it,...... but it would be nice if it could run CS: Source

asus wins^_^

yeah i was going for the R1F to,...... but i dont think i cant play CSS with it,....

"Video Memory Shared system memory" for the R1F what exactly does that mean??

[cHoLoCoY]

anyone know anything about it?

can i play CSS with the R1F?

[cHoLoCoY]

CeeJay : i dont know how you got that info,.... but amma trust you on it,...
you said "2048x1536 at 75 Hz maximum resolution" but i think the R1F has a max res. of 1280 x 800. so if the R1F can play CSS and if i put the VIDEO SETTINGS in MEDIUM @ 1280 x 800 res. or last resort 800 x 600 res. how do you think it would run?

im gonna use the Tablet Notebook for mainly school and entertainment,...not gaming,..... but if anything,..... i go to my friends or cozins house,...and his playin CSS or i wanna play CSS,.... i could just whip out my notebookand play on it.

it can run windows vista with aero.... but, it would be shitty to game with it... just stick to your original purpose... school... not for gaming....

im not really into the Windows Vista,...... so if i get the R1F i might just format the HDD and install a Windows XP Pro. or whatever the OS is for the tablet PC (i think they have there own Windows XP version for the tablet PC's.)

mas maka game paka sa acer with a 7300series based on the specs above.

yeah thats one thing that got me thinking about the Travelmate C210,...... but the Asus R1F has some sick features,..... my favorite the "FINGERPRINT Security Reader",..... and the "Multi-functional Module Bay" (you can Exchange between hard drives, DVD Super-Multi drive or even a second battery pack and you can do this while the notebook is ON / running
