Tablet PC has never really caught the imagination of the average computer user. It’s great for business, where the interactive screen can be shared by a couple of people for writing notes. Alternatively, for form filling it’s handy and because you can send the hand written notes as email attachments, it is flexible. However, the main problem has always been size, in that they’ve always been too heavy. Fujitsu Siemens has gotten around this problem by giving the P1610 an 8.9-inch screen. So, instead of being the size of a sheet of A4 it feels and acts more like a sheet of A5. It’s a reasonable size but we felt that any smaller and it would be too small. You have to write notes quite small and drawings are a bit of a problem. It’s much better when you’re using it in notebook mode, but then again, any smaller and you wouldn’t really be able to see too much.
