said Thierry de Coulon: . . . | I don't like touchpads and the Surface Pro 2's was driving me mad, so I | searched for a 2 in 1 with a track point or similar, and found the | Toshiba z20t (it does have a touchpad too, if you like). | | The model I got (for £300 on ebay) is the Z20t-B-113. As far as I can | say everything works out of the box: Touchscreen, stylus, keyboard | (except the FN special keys), touchpad (which I deactivated), track | point, suspend and hibernate (from tde powersave menu). | | The machine uses an Atmel touchscreen (that can be controled with | xrandr) and a Wacom pen digitizer (which can be controled with | xsetwacom). . . . Fascinating -- I'd go for one forthwith were my entire experimental budget not tied up in the Planet Computers Gemini, which I am to receive Real Soon Now. As we wait for it to ship, the rumors are getting crazier and crazier; the one thing that I know it lacks (that I wish it had) is some sort of Trackpoint-like pointer control; instead, it's pure touchscreen, which means I'll be developing new skills in keyboard navigation (thanks in part to answers gotten here). If it doesn't work out as I hope, I'll be in the market for the Toshiba. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
