This Viewsonic TPCV1250S may not seem all that impressive at first, but when you read its description on Amazon, you?ll discover that this demure Tablet PC holds inside a 10GHz Athlon and a 30,000GB hard disk. Amazing! And if you read the reviews (and you should), you?ll discover that the desktop nuclear power supply isn?t nearly as inconvenient as you?d think. Some users find the warping of time and space around the unit to be somewhat distracting, to say the least. Still, at only $2,200, I?d say it?s a bargain. Someone at Los Alamos must have a boat mortgage to pay off.

I got one of those back in 2056. I remember when they first came out. The flux capacitor kept burning out, unless I gave it exactly 1.21 jigawatts of power. I used it for a navigation system on my first starship. Man those were the days, can you imagine wanting to slingshot around the Sun? What were we thinking?

Anway, thanks for the trip down memory lane.

When you think about it, it's not really that super that you can make up stories about the year 2056... it's only twice as fast as todays, the same amount of RAM as many of todays computers have and a 30TB hard-drive... I bet we'll all have computers like this in Q4, 2006.

Starships? 2056? Pfft.

It was a typo -

Features:

1.00 GHz AMD Athlon

2000 MB DIMM

30 GB IDE Hard Disk

Some of the comments are so funny :laugh:

A Kid's Review 

I got this today, even before I knew about it. It's soooo fast that it went into the future and the past at the same time and came to me! It knew I wanted it! Yay! But, I dont know. I lost my left leg. But Larry gave me this tingling sensation. Larry is his name.

I tried to play house with it, but it decided to shock me and threw me down on my bed. I dont remember anything after that, but I hugged Larry.

:rofl:

I had purchased this computer thinking that it would last me awhile before I would have to upgrade. Boy was I wrong!! I mistakenly thought it had a 30TB (terabyte) hard drive... but it only has a 30GB (gigabyte) hard drive, how lame is that!!!

I had planned on using this computer to download the internet. You know, as a back up, I was even going to offer to host it on my new Viewsonic in case there was a nuclear war or something. But with only a 30GB hard drive that will be hard to do. I'll be surprised if I can even fit XP SP 2 on this machine.

Of course as others have mentioned this computer is great at helping you build a spacestation and launching it into orbit or computing prime numbers. Although with the tweaking (read overclocking - blast the warranty!!) I was able to get my Viewsonic to reach infinity in only 28 seconds. Who says green jello isn't a good coolant???!!

Guess no one read these reviews either:

I invented the Internet. I store it and run it on one of these babies. However, I can no longer afford the electric bill, so I will be disconnecting it at the end of the month.

Please save all of your online files to your local PCs.

This thing is AMAZING! Aside from the 10ghz, they forgot to mention the optical recognition and bran scanning screen. It knows what I want it to do and BANG! does it instantly. My only complaint is that it was a measly 14 hundredths of a pound (.014 lbs) and it BLEW AWAY when i took it to the park! Then some bird came and stole it from the tree it landed in and used it for its nest at the top of the giant redwood. I was heartbroken. This is the worst paperweight I have ever bought! Thanks alot, oops i crapped my pants!

No one noticed how the weight was 14 hundreths of a pound?? That was even funnier than having DOS as the OS.
