OEMs readying up Vista Tablet PC / UMPC units

- Rob Bushway

I've been hitting a few Tablet PC OEM sites today looking for vista ready tablets.

OQO has made Vista Business available for their Model 02 at no additional charge with their "Best" configurable option. Vista Ultimate will cost an extra $100.

Fujitsu has yet to update their products - T4215, P1610, or ST5100 with Vista OS an option.

Lenovo has the X60 avaialble with Vista Business - $20 cheaper than XP

TabletKiosk's new Sahara Slate PC will be available with Vista Business as an option. Interesting - I just noticed that TabletKiosk dropped the Tablet from the Sahara name. Instead of Sahara Slate Tablet PC, it is Sahara Slate PC.

Gateway has the CX210 Tablet PC available with Vista Home Premium

Toshiba's only Vista ready Tablet PC is the R400

Samsung Q1P ( thanks Danny )

Anybody finding other Vista ready tablets / UMPCs?

Toshiba has uploaded a complete set of drivers and a revised user guide for the M400, which leads me to believe that the Vista pre-installed version is forthcoming very soon.

TabletKiosk did not drop the "Tablet" from the Sahara name it was never there. The Sahara has always been the Sahara Slate PC.

The Toshiba M400 is also 'Vista Ready'. The new shipping models have a Vista Ready sticker on them (and a large disclaimer "Not all hardware will run all features of Vista...."

is the m400 shipping with vista preinstalled, though? I didn't see any options for that. All I saw was xp pro tablet edition on the m400.

AFAIK, the M400 is only 'Vista-Ready', and not available with it preinstalled.

The Asus R1F-K031E is sold with windows Vista installed, apparently, with Vista Premium version

The business side of the PC industry doesn't seem too excited about Vista. Considering it was RTM months ago I was expecting a slew of new hardware to choose from. I'm overdue for a new PC and this is disappointing.
