I don’t ever get attached to a mere ‘PC’. Except this one: the (regrettably) discontinued HP TC1100, which now has something of a cult following amongst its users.

I’ve written in The Truth About Tablet PC about the virtues of this form factor for output (as opposed to scribbling input, which is not important for me), and in my Road Warrior comments on GetReal I’ve written about the ‘zones of comfort’ (arm reach, for typical desktop and laptop use; elbow reach, for typical tablet and PDA use; shoulder reach, for typical phone use) and why the Tablet PC really scores highly in the right context.

The other day I tripped on a stairway on my way to a meeting – my encased HP TC1100 may have spared me a broken wrist, but the screen took the brunt of the fall. Incredibly it still works fine; hopefully I can get the glass replaced.
