HTC Shift X9500 fit for mobile workers

Posted by sawaru | Category: Laptop & Notebook, Tablet PC & UMPC

HTC Shift X9500 is the latest entrant into the ultraportable notebook market.

The HTC Shift is made by a phone company but for calls you need to use a headset or go hands-free, with its sleek shape and on-the-run connectivity features, the Shift should prove useful for road warriors, although some poor software choices and sluggish specs may annoy power users.

The Shift’s best feature is undoubtedly its compact shape.Displaying its crisp 7in, 800 by 480 resolution touchscreen and weighing a mere 800g, the Shift is an ideal size for mobile workers.

The device gets its name from a sliding QWERTY keyboard that folds down from behind the screen. In this form, the screen can be tilted forward at 45 degrees to resemble a miniature notebook. The small size of the keyboard makes typing difficult, but it’s still an impressive keyboard. The clunky sliding keyboard mechanism may make its durability questionable.

The Shift also operates in slate form when the keyboard is folded away. The sensitive touchscreen reads very well, and most keyboard functions translate well into jabs and swipes with finger or stylus. A small trackpad on the right of the display, with accompanying right and left mouse-click buttons to the left of the screen, allow easy navigation in tablet form.
