That seems nice because it's actually a tablet with a keyboard dock. That means all the heat-generation happens away from the keyboard? (so that keyboard remains room temp at all times?)shaoyu wrote:Just got my hands on a HP Pro x2 410 G1. Overall very impressed.
Yeah, the keyboard part only contains the ports and one of the two batteries of the system. So most heat is generated on the tablet part. I don't feel much warmth on the back of the tablet either with typical use, such as watching youtube. Overall it feels cooler than my old fujitsu p7120. The tablet part can be used by itself without problem because the tablet part has its own battery and charging port, except without IO ports (USB and HDMI on keyboard part).toronado455 wrote:That seems nice because it's actually a tablet with a keyboard dock.

It appears reasonably stable to me in laptop mode. Admittedly I don't do touch a lot in laptop mode, but the times that I use touch in laptop mode it works fine without tipping over. So I guess having a second battery in keyboard part helps with the balance pretty well. Also the hinge extends a little to the back of the keyboard, which also helps with the balance.CA_Steve wrote:How's the balance when it's in laptop form? Is it tippy?
Wow I'm amazed by these 4GB limits!shaoyu wrote:Flex 10 has soldered RAM with a max of 4GB configuration. Acer's E 11 is hardly user upgradable and there is no confirmation from anyone that 8GB would work (see my review). The only fanless I am aware of that reportedly support 8GB RAM are the upcoming Acer B115(P) and HP Pro x2 612 G1. I am yet to see either of them whether they are user-upgradable or not.
It should ship with 8GB min. That is just silly.shaoyu wrote:Correction: Acer now publishes max supported RAM for E 11 (E3-111) to be 8GB.
Although I doubt many would actually be able to do it given the troublesome access to the SODIMM slot.
Interesting. TN panel? Max RAM?silentbobbo wrote:Dell Inspiron 15 i3531
I think it's a TN panel, it's not glossy, RAM + HDD (and maybe WLAN) easily upgradable, RAM up to 8 Gb I think, removable battery without unscrewing anything.toronado455 wrote:Interesting. TN panel? Max RAM?silentbobbo wrote:Dell Inspiron 15 i3531
I got this laptop from the UK (not available in Sweden) recently, bought a outlet-converter. Downside is keyboard layout is not native.CA_Steve wrote:You could always swap out the HDD with an SSD.soricx wrote:I've bought the HP 250 with N3510, I can confirm it's absolutely fanless.
The harddisk is noisy. The laptop itself has a cheap look.
The processor is good for a sound player, and much more: no lags in windows seven and everything is fast enough.
All in all, I'm very happy with it !
Asus showed their fanless Zenbook UX305 at IFA recently. specsFrankL wrote:If I'd find a fanless 13" model with high resolution screen I'd likely buy it in a heartbeat...
Which ones?soricx wrote:- Toshiba C50
