Power adapters are one of those things that mobile workers get very picky about. The size of the power brick means a great deal when packing a gear bag. Fortunately, both the Lenovo X200 and the Dell Latitude XT both have pretty small adapters and should appeal to the gear-packing folk among us. In addition [...]
With my announcement about leaving Evernote for the wonderful world of inking in OneNote, several folks have asked about how syncing is done in OneNote, the issues with using folder type syncing, etc. We have several resources on this topic already that Josh Einstein produced for us.

Last year Toshiba waded into the Android tablet market with the Thrive, a 10.1-inch slate that served as the company’s response to what they deemed missing in the then current crop.
