RE: Despite Record Sales, Tablets and Smartphones Won’t Replace PCs Any Time Soon

mhenriday — Tue, 01 Jan 2013 13:16:19 GMT

Agree with previous commentators ; to paraphrase Mark Twain, rumours of the death of the PC have been greatly exaggerated. Admittedly, one can do serious work with a tablet, so long as it has a docking station and a keyboard, but what is it then but a somewhat less convenient laptop/notebook ? At the same time, the observation that the success of tablets and smartphones will force PCs to change seems both correct and encouraging - the first change I'd like to see is not «touchscreens», which for ergonomic reasons I suspect are a dead end on laptops and stationary devices, but rather affordable screens and monitors that approach the resolutions in ppi that we are now seeing in smartphones and tablets. Can't wait !...

Wouldn't at all mind having one of these - but I certainly don't intend to pay two and one-half large for the privilege....

RE: Lenovo Yoga Tablet To Ship In Two Editions: Windows 8 and Windows RT

mhenriday — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 14:38:09 GMT

I'd like to suggest to Lenovo that the company considers a third operating system, viz, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. In my experience - I have been running dual/triple boots for years, most recently with Win7 Pro and Ubuntu 12.04 - the latter is far more agile and adroit than the former and demands much less of the hardware. For users who do not need extremely specialised programmes, many of which are unfortunately available only for Windows, the programmes readily available in the Ubuntu repositories or which can easily be downloaded from the web more than suffice ; to take just one example, LibreOffice provides me with more services and is easier to use than MS Office 2010. I doubt, however, that Lenovo is going to take my reflections into account when making their marketing decisions....

«I can moderate user posts, but not correct the articles, I think an Admin is required for that.» I have no problem with that, realneil, but perhaps you could send a note upstairs ? Correcting errors (even if they are not the fault of the author, as in this case), goes a long way to preserving credibility....

Thanks, realneil - good that you chaps (and ladies, in the event) are keeping an eye out for this sort of thing ! One minor point - the cut -and-paste was not from any of my posts, but rather from NotRappaport's first post. With respect to the question of contradictory messages from Samsung - as per NotRappaport's link and that provided in my reply above - when I now access the latter, I find that it has been corrected and the A6-4455M found on the Series 5 535 13.3” Notebook is indeed confirmed to be a dual-core processor. Thus, like NotRappaport, I submit that the first period in the second paragraph of the above article, which begins «The Samsung Series 5 535 13.3-inch (1366x768 resolution) laptop sports an AMD quad-core A6-4455M APU clocked at 2.1GHz ...» should be corrected to reflect this fact....

Wuchengt, I did indeed see the chart - but as I pointed out above, the fault is not that of the article author, but of Samsung, for releasing contradictory information....

NotRappaport, the fault - if, indeed, it is a fault - is not that of HH, but rather that of Samsung, as can be seen from the specs the firm itself is announcing for the Series 5 535 13.3” Notebook (http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/laptops/NP535U3C-A01US-specs)....

Paul, how about a head-to-head between the 14" Ivy Bridge sporting a Core i5 3210M and the Series 5 535 with an A 10-4655M APU described above ? I find the TN panels with 1366 x 768 resolution on these notebooks disappointing, especially coming from a leader in screen innovation like Samsung, but hopefully in the near future, manufacturers will deem it worth their while to provide users with better screens....
