What is the difference between this and the P2000 model? I fail to see any at all; even look exactly the same. Is this version just of VASTLY superior mechanical quality or something? The included software and literally every detail elucidated for both...

I believe the biggest difference is that you don't have to swipe your finger. You just have to let your finger on it and it reads it.

Fortunately I have access to both and did a pretty thorough review of them on my blog site at http://www.blendblog.net/Default.aspx?tabid=36&EntryID;=64. Hope this helps, I like both devices but they are different and which one to get really depends on what you are looking for which I breakdown in my review.Sean

This question was asked a few months ago, but I'm wondering if it's changed yet: is this model truly the 2.0? With 1, 2, & 3hr settings plus intermittent setting? It says it's the 2.0 model, but shows the old model. Anyone get one recently who can verify or even better, upload a pic? Thanks.

Hi, I have this model and I am absolutely happy with it. I canot tell the difference with other models, but if you have any specific questions, I would be happy to answer. PS. Made in JAPAN- this is the major difference)))

I saw the lower numbered models at Frys this weekend. They didnt have the L117FX/B. I played around with it briefly and the touch screen was more responsive than the HP all-in-one model. All the HP's had Vista and DVD drives for about the same price as the Sony, which had blu-ray and Windows 7. Although I dont think I would use the touch screen much (don't like the smudged screens), I did like the look and build of the Sony. Everything seemed to be built a bit better than the HP. I can't wait for the reviews to come out...

I'll be able to do a direct comparison soon, as I've got a PX312 coming in, after purchasing the VN-302PC. The specs and features are very nearly clones of each other, but I've found that the Olympus lacks some rather basic abilities that the Sony covers, such as a means of moving files between the 5 folders for organization. Also, the files recorded on the internal memory can't be moved over to the external memory card through the recorder; though it's easy enough to do when connected to a PC. It shows up as two separate drives on the PC, and the files remain uniquely named whether recorded on internal or external memory, so it's a simple matter to just copy them over. (If they reused file numbers on int vs ext memory then there would be an added complication of renaming before copying). I'd rather that the file names included the timestamp, like some other recorders do, but neither of these do that. Record quality of the Olympus is fine, so if the Sony does just as well, the Sony has more comprehensive features. The file erase process is better on the Sony as well, because it plays back the recording you're about to erase for confirmation before recording. With the Olympus you have to stop the playback on the target file first and be careful that it didn't advance to the next file, and watch the screen for the sequence of prompts to follow through with the delete process. I think the Sony method for deleting is better because it can be initiated while the target file is playing, and the playback of the recording as confirmation has less potential for inadvertently deleting the wrong recording. I believe the Sony also retains the time for at least a minute during battery changes, while the Olympus loses an hour or two and needs to be reset. It's not very significant since the batteries last so long, but so far, all the pros have been on the Sony side. When I get the Sony in hand I'll see if it actually performs as well as the Olympus

I tried both the 230 and 240 today at the local Dick's Sporting Goods store. The only 230 they have for sale is the floor model which has been badly abused. I really liked the 240 better. Better console and graphics, better seat. It's actually cheaper for me to buy the 240 locally and pay the sales tax than order from Amazon and pay shipping with the danger of having it arrive in pieces as many other reviewers have experienced. The difference in warranty doesn't really bother me.

Does anyone knows the real difference between these two models and which one is better buy? I see the Special Edition has better screen and I know it has better/bigger mouse pad, but what else?

I am in the process of purchasing one or the other. I am not sure what the differences are. Can someone help me out too:F. Jackson

To be honest I don't see any difference. We purchased the 20632 and my husband loves it.

I would call Canon and bitch them out. Sadly, it seems like all the manufacturer are doing the same thing and I think it's a crock. Who wants to sit at the PC and read what I heard is a 96 page manual with COPY stamped on it. I was going to buy the 20is and found out there was no manual. I don't have to have a Canon for a P&S;, I would rather find one with a manual, which I haven't yet.

Thanks for the info. I did purchase the VN5200-PC Version some months ago but I do appreciate the reply.

I picked up an ep121 at fry's in concord last week, I have a CINTIQ 21UX, and I'm employed as a character artist. The cintiq pen and intuos pens won't work on it as people have already said. The pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop, i think there's a driver fix for this but i haven't bothered with it. Photoshop works best with a keyboard/keypad anyways. Alias sketchbook pro will be your friend. The brushes work great and the program is stroke based. 256 levels of pressure sensitivity, it depends on the artist. It's fine for me, I don't know that my arm has 256 levels of pressure. The line quality is good and it's responsive while drawing. Awesome device for drawing on the go, or sitting on the couch. Any serious work you'll probably want to use a standard computer, but no reason you shouldn't be able to do great things on the ep121. Battery life i get around 3-4.5 hours depending on use. I hope they start shipping these things out to you all soon, I'm loving mine! ps. This thing also runs zbrush pretty well. although it's pointless to try to use zbrush with a resolution os 1200x800, the menu's are too filling. But, it CAN handle a million polygons without much problem. I didn't try maya on it yet. If anyone's interested i can give it a shot.

There now seem to be at least two different-looking versions of this tool with the same model number available online (both Amazon and elsewhere) and ranging in price from $50 to over $100. For example the video on the Amazon page does the demo with a different tool (about $50) than the one shown above for $100. Which version is the newest most "upgraded" version, and which ones have been sitting in a warehouse? For $100 and claimed to be "upgraded" and engraved, I expect an accurate one first try, no returns or return postage or delays - or I might as well just buy the plastic version.

Hello, Have reviews on both models on Amazon. Had a bunch of trouble with the standard model, and no trouble with version 2. The version 2 has a lot more metal parts in the rotor head and tail, and digital tail servo which is much more responsive. Please see both reviews. So far I would say the version 2 is worth the extra money. Good day!

Out of curiosity, how do you check to see if you actually have a Special Edition? I purchased this from Amazon (from this page), but there's no indication on the box or on the laptop itself that it's a NC10-11PBK. On the box and on the laptop itself, it just says NC10-KL01US. I just want to make sure they didn't ship me the wrong one. (I don't have the original NC10, so I have nothing to compare it to.)

No one appreciates forward thinking more than I do, but consider that this model already sports a dual-core processor. It also has nearly 4 Gb of RAM (enough for one of the two 64-bit cores) and a relatively small screen. My point is this: for $300.00 it is an outstanding value. I use my quad-core machine with 16 Gb (RAM) desktop to do the heavy processing in my life - this machine is perfect for the periphery work that I do whenever I'm not at home. Can the processor be upgraded? Perhaps - but with much difficulty. And yes it is soldered in but that isn't the main issue here. Quad core, Hex core, and everything on up would require a RAM upgrade to utilize those processors effectively - otherwise one may be throwing $$$s and time out of the window when it may be more cost and time efficient to simply buy a more powerful netbook, laptop, etc. with the power-user features already baked in. I hope this helps.
