`I've had a chance to work with a TP365E model for a day and a half.
`Its a 586 100Mhz 10.4"TFT model 8M Ram and 540M HD.
Thanks for the info on the model. Australia recently released this model
and one of them features a CD player (4x I think). I've yet to see one on
any shelf.
`Based on the specs I was really entusiastic on the 365E model.
`My initial expressions were quite dissapointing though. It was not an
`incremetal improvement to the 360 mode as I had expected. The design is not
`modular, the HD, battery, floppy or memory expansions are not compatible
Are the components removable like the 750/360 models. It seems IBM
released cheaper 3xx models by dispensing with removable components.
`with the 750/360 series. Further the unit seemed not to be any faster that
`my 486/33Mhz 360. The slow performace was though due to the slow processor
A writeup in a computer weekly magazine over here mentioned they were
running CYRIX chips and not Intel (can't confirm if they really are).
Maybe that's why they are slower and cheaper!
`speeed setting that was enabled. Below, I enlist some observations on the
`365E model. I do not include any specs as they should be avalable from your
`dealer or from www.
Cheers.
