GBM InkShow: Latitude XT Ink and Touch Video Review

- Rob Bushway

InkShowDell's entry in to the Tablet PC space was a highly anticipated one. Being so late to the game, they needed something to set themselves apart from their competition. That differentiator is the N-Trig digitizer allowing for capacitive touch + ink with the promise for multi-touch.

So how did they do with the Latitude XT Tablet PC? In my opinion, it the best touch + pen experience on the market. It is smooth, soft, and accurate, allowing for a more intuitive user experience than currently available in passive or other dual-mode offerings.

In this InkShow, I focus on the pen and touch experience of the Latitude XT, demoing the various input modes, as well as comparing it to the Lenovo X61 Multi-Mode touch Tablet PC. Stay tuned for more upcoming InkShows on the Latitude XT where I cover the various features more indepth, the software, accessories, and more.

Rob, thanks very much. Very nice job; I found the inkshow very informative as to what/what not to expect from the XT at this time. Kudos and keep 'em coming...

Good ink show. Very informative on the differences in the two touch methods. Wish the picture was a little brighter. Found my self missing some items due to screen being so dark for show though.
Capacitive touch seems so much more natural and easy to use.
Are there other companies besides N-trig working towards capacitive touch for tablets? Wacom?

Guess the dark image for ink show was just in the High res version normal looks great.

Rob I can see how touch is better on the XT vs others. I have a Q1P which I used for about a year and now using the U810. I tell from your video how easy it is to use the pen flicks on the XT. Great video review of inking.
