Tipping the scales at 3.4lbs, this powerhouse is loaded with enough features to take the road warrior to the next level. On the other hand, the V1100 would be just as happy at home with you on your sofa. What impressed us was the level of detail given to the design of this unit. It supports a resolution of 1024x768 in landscape mode or 768x1024 in the portrait mode. The panel offers new electromagnetic digitizer technology that really makes the V1100 a pleasure to use. The V1100 is scheduled to ship on or about November 7th, when Windows XP for Tablet PCs is expected to ship.

Have you seen the Apple Cinema flat panel display yet? If not, you are perhaps missing one of the top drool-producing items out there. ViewSonic sets out to top that with the introduction of the new VP2290b LCD display. The VP2290b is a 22.2" TFT 9.2 megapixel widescreen display with a contrast ratio of 400:1. It includes not one, but two TMDS digital interfaces. It offers an incredible set of features, but for most of us, the price will keep it out of reach for a while. In the meantime, it sure was impressive to see.

Since the vast majority of us can't afford the VP2290b, ViewSonic had to come up with another solution, and they did so with the introduction of the new N1700w 17" Widescreen display.

Perhaps the most unique feature of the N1700w is that ViewSonic will include a breakout box from the box of the monitor that will include audio-in, right and left RCA audio-in, composite RCA video-in, and, best of all, component HD video-in. Yes, you can hook up your HiDef receiver right up to the N1700w for those times when you are not using it with your computer. The N1700w looked great, but we don't know when it will ship or how much it will cost. Stay tuned for additional details.
