Ask the internet: Tablet PC edition
Dear Internet,
In October I am going to be applying for an equipment grant to buy a tablet PC for classroom use. Said tablet must run on Windows (XP Pro preferred), and required software is listed below (that is, those softwares that will require purchase).
I will need sufficient RAM-power to run Camtasia in record mode during Powerpoint presentations, and I really want a surplus, not just barely enough. So my question for M. Internet, is manifold.
Thanks for any advice you might give this poor confused prof.
Sincerely,
Zandperl
In October I am going to be applying for an equipment grant to buy a tablet PC for classroom use. Said tablet must run on Windows (XP Pro preferred), and required software is listed below (that is, those softwares that will require purchase).
- MS Office 2007 (Word, Excel, Powerpoint)
- MS Outlook
- MS Frontpage (yeah, I know, take it up with my IT)
- Camtasia
- Adobe/Macromedia Flash
- Typical tablet softwarez
I will need sufficient RAM-power to run Camtasia in record mode during Powerpoint presentations, and I really want a surplus, not just barely enough. So my question for M. Internet, is manifold.
- What are the minimum specs for a tablet PC that can do what I want?
- What are the maximum specs out there now, as of October (when I'll be submitting the grant), and as of December (when I'd be getting the money)?
- What is the cost of such systems?
- What's the best brand or specific model of tablets? I'm looking for reliability, good customer support, and sturdy (as I'll be lugging it to school and back daily).
- What else am I forgetting to ask?
Thanks for any advice you might give this poor confused prof.
Sincerely,
Zandperl
