thanks for the comments, guys. On the aspect ratio bit, it must have defaulted to that and I didn't catch it. I'll remember to check that the next time. I produced it using the M280, so I wonder if it picked something up from the video card . Who knows.

if you think I need to regenerate at 4:3, let me know. I'd prefer not to, but if the distortion is bad, I'll certainly do it.

It scales pretty fine on my thinkpad at 1024 x 768.

Yes, it has View Anywhere. Except for the fingerprint issues, I'd highly recommend it.

The docking solution is not as elegant as the tc1100 or the le1600. You can't flip the screen around, although the dock does support hooking up an external monitor to it.

To get the ls800 in a decent writing posting, you need to flip the dock around, write, then flip it back.

You could use the dock in the flatter position (as shown in the video), but you would need to use the rotate button to rotate the screen due to the video card (on all tablets by the way) flipping the rotate.

As far as switching tablets, if I already owned a tc1100 1.2 ghz as my primary computer, I don't think I would swap. I'd wait for the next refresh of the LS800, then make a decision.

Bottomline: it'll work, but it is not convenient. They need to do some work on their docking solutions.

Honestly, the TC1100 and LS800 are different animals. The tc1100 does not have finger access to any of the buttons - they require a pen. In addition, it is just big enough to be too big. Honestly, my choices would be using the LS800 or going with a 12" convertible. Having a slate the size of the ls800 is perfect - if I want something bigger, I'm going to make sure it has a keyboard built-in.

the display at very shallow angles is pretty decent - if you are close to the tablet. if you start to move away from the tablet (by more than a foot or so), it begins to get washed out.

I mostly use it in the bump case which provides a very nice writing angle and I don't experience any wash out issues when moving away from it. It allows me to use the keyboard at a comfortable distance away from it. If I use the laptop legs which raises the tablet up by several inches, I need to sit a bit close and move the keyboard closer to the tablet.
