Gateway Tablet PC

[Admin]

Gateway have announced a new Dual-Cor Tablet PC:

"Gateway today announced the M285-E convertible PC as addition to its existing family of tablet PC notebooks. The new model is available with Intel's dual-core Core Duo processors, but maintains the mainstream pricing of previously announced models. An entry-level dual-core tablet PC will follow in May."

We've got 13 of these gateway tablets in our office. They've done the job, but I haven't been overly impressed. I think I made a mistake in thinking that weight wasn't as big of an issue as it really is. For me it really isn't an issue, but for someone that is carting it around all day it is/was definitely an issue. That said, if I would have gotten the 12" screens that are much lighter I'm sure they would have complained that they couldn't read the screen and they had to scroll too much.

Here's my latest solution. Computers in each room for entry into an EMR. Then, have a couple UMPC's that you can take around to handle any sort of signatures that may need to be done by patients. Not a bad compromise. Just as long as the UMPC's run my EMR and don't grow legs and run off.
