Triple jkOTR Review- Complete desktop in your pocket

jkOnTheRun: Triple jkOTR Review- Complete desktop in your pocket: "I am quite happy with the Sony Vaio U-70 running the Tablet OS and the handwriting recognition engine built into the Tablet is second to none. It does a remarkable job interpreting even my lousy handwriting and converting it into clean, readable text. But when I am faced with a heavy writing session I need my keyboard. I do a lot of writing and the keyboard is the only way to go for pounding out articles like this one. Entering the text is only part of the equation as I have to do a lot of editing and corrections for larger articles and reports that I write. Sometimes it's necessary to move whole sections of text around inside the article and for that there is no better tool than a mouse. It is much easier to precisely select, move or replace chunks of prose with a mouse.

I have previously written how I incorporate the diminutive Sony U-70 into my daily workflow and I am still convinced it is the best computer for me. The news that Sony is going to bring an updated version of the U-70 to the US market is welcome and means we will likely see a lot more of the little workhorses in the near future. The Sony U-70 is so small and light it is easy to carry just about anywhere and it is so versatile it allows me to use it however the situation dictates. A lot of the writing I do takes place during unexpected blocks of free time that present themselves during the day, such as a cancelled meeting or better yet the meeting that finishes much earlier than anticipated. I might find myself with a half hour of time to spend working on a report that needs to get done so having the right tools with me is crucial.

I set out to identify and build the most portable fully functioning desktop I could and have settled on an arrangement I am very satisfied with. I started (of course) with the Sony U-70 and determined the components I needed to add were a good mobile keyboard with full-size"
