X1 vs X1K - same computer? Are this computer and the newer model - the one with kindle - the exact same computer except the newer model has Kindle, or is there another difference?

The silver one has a better battery.. 5600 vs 4400, although both are 6-cell

I don't think so. And after reading the reviews for the X10, the only reason to get it is the Netflix 4K app which wasn't available with the X1. Even with that, I don't think you get enough to justify the cost. Just my opinion...

I'm new to ereaders and can not decide between the kindle vs sony. Of course, I would prefer sony due to netlibrary, but I find that site confusing. Plus you can use sony for the public domain books on google. But then I'm so used to amazon and kindle seems to be so much simpler to use. My question to sony ereaders--how hard is it to get used to using netlibrary and google books? Can you get what you want using the sony? I really can not decide and at this point am about ready to give up and just not get an ereader.

Honestly, I cannot tell any difference. I called the Microsoft Store and they don't have different versions. Strange.

This is that model. I use it for the same. The K version only means it is an unlocked version that allows it to be compatible with more motherboards and memory options. The model I received is unlocked, and so therefore was a K version. Also, your CPU (this component) isn't what will give you the best/fastest renderings, instead you'll want to focus on getting a good graphics card (GPU), this can shorten render times and give you better images. I hope this helps. Best of luck. Feel free to send any additional questions. If I may ask, what software and/or rendering service do you expect to be using? This is that model. I use it for the same.

I think you will be fine. The vendor forgot to add the T after the X230. The key thing to focus on is the model number 3435-2TU which does correspond to a tablet pc when you Google it. Enjoy.

Kuk, thank you for responding, your answers are accurate. The XA1 machine is identical the G73JW-A1, with the exception of the hdd and the odd. The idea is to give Amazon's customers a choice of saving some $$'s in exchange for different hardware options, a shorter warranty and no bag/mouse.

Dear Xavi,Thank you for your reply. Since my last message I have purchased the Kindle 3 as I was concerned about the difficulty of buying and downloading books within the UK. I am so far very happy with the Kindle although I am very interested in what you think of the Nook. I have relatives in the US who are considering buying an e-reader and so I would love to know what your opinion is. If you get the chance to give me some feedback once you've used it that would be great!Thank you.Sincerely,Michelle

The systems are considerably different. My X1 Carbon does not have a touch screen, so Windows 8 makes no sense. However after seeing Windows 8, I purchased the X1 Carbon because it came with Windows 7. Windows 8 is still not a serious operating system for businesses.

Its really two different devices, Kindle has a gray scale screen, Asus has colour. The pros with kindle is the mobile capacity and the weight but it should no be compared as Asus way ahead with all and have so much more features (memory, processor, storage,gps,wifi, etc) The Asus is a definte buy intended for more than book reading.

Do you mean the ereader or the computer version? If it's an ereader you'll be fine, I'm able to charge both my girlfriends and my own kindle off a single charge from day out in the sun haven't had to plug either kindle in since I got this thing months ago. Mind you we are in australia and there's a lot of sun here :)

If I was you I would just upgrade to a newer Kindle I had the same problem. I am about to upgrade to HDX. good luck with whatever you decide to do!

These discussions ref brightness control are confusing Acer Aspire One (w/ function key) and Kindle (none). I received Kindle 3G 11/22. Screen dark - contrast problem between back screen and e-ink pics or characters. I understand e-ink readers and it should not be this way. NO ADJUSTMENT - BUY A LIGHT!? I'll use my netbook - DUH! Sad commentary on the Kindle. And my eyesight is perfect; it's not me, and seems I'm not alone. A real disappointment.

Even tho they tell you that all these cables are alike; they are not. I bought 2 that did not work before buying one off ebay that says specifically for Kindle. Works great!

I am sure that all of the computer connections are the same. The other end is the one that you have to worry about. I did not know there was more than one kind of HDMI cable. For a kindle it has to be a mini HDMI cable. There is a different one if you want to hook up to your TV. The cable I have for the kindle to TV is only about 6 feet and it would be nice to have a longer one. Hope this helps.

I use Ubuntu 10.10 with Gnome, it works nicely. Kindle OS is made with the Linux kernel, just in case you want to know.
