I have an acer tablet c110 (older and SUPER tiny). And shockingly... it
actually runs XSI kinda well. The graphics are intel integrated
graphics of all things. I'm not saying its a polygon throughput beast
or anything... but its usable if you're the type that's good at managing
layers and visibility to keep things interactive. Most importantly, its
stable and there are no drawing problems as far as I can tell. So you
can work on it... even if the resolution on the screen is lower than the
minimum recommended size. Which I think its quite impressive for such a
small thing, and a tablet at that.
However, acer's support can be a bit of a pain occasionally. And
well... when it comes to a laptop I think the absolute most important
thing is the support contract. I want a support contract thats going to
replace the cracked case without telling me that its my fault and its
not covered... if you know what I mean. Cause laptops are extremely
prone to breaking... no matter how careful you are... no matter how well
its built.
So next time... assuming I have the cash... I'll probably go to IBM, HP,
or Dell for a notebook.
