First off, forgive me for being a bit slow on the uptake on some of the computing terms, but I just want to know what I could do with this.
I've had one of these lying around for quite bit, but I feel like I'm neglecting it a lot, and want ideas for what I could do with it.
It's got a bit of damage on the case, which is to be expected, since I bought it for £1 ages ago, but other than aesthetics, the thing works fine.
The specs are as follows:
256MB RAM
866MhZ Intel Pentium III (I think)
20GB Harddrive
12.5" Screen
It's currently running Windows XP Tablet Edition.
Unfortunately, the touchscreen only works with the stylus made for it, so I'm not sure if that'll be a problem, or if there's a way around it.
The ideas I've toyed around with so far are using it solely as an input for my laptop, to do some art on, and forgive me if this next one is completely stupid, but would it be possible to make it into an android tablet in anyway?
What could I possibly do with this?
Not a whole lot, really.
The hardware is too poor to really accomplish anything useful.

Yeah, that's the problem I've been having with using it as it is, especially for art.
What did you really want to do with it, though? You could probably set it up as a third monitor with some software, or find some cool, old programs to run on it, just because.
I don't know if you can turn it into a graphics tablet and there's an Android for X86 somewhere though.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind using it for art, but the problem being that alone, it's just not responsive enough...
As for 2nd monitor idea, I could use it like that, but is there anyway I could do that, and still use the touchscreen part of it?
I don't see why not.
Here's the Android for X86: [url]http://www.android-x86.org/[/url]

Now I've seen that, I really like the look of it...
Possibly dumb question, is there anyway at all that it might not work too well with having to use their stylus all the time?
Could be annoying but assuming the stylus acts as a mouse it should be fine
I have an RTAB912-T01
I run IRC/Facebook Chat/Web browser on it, and use a keyboard like [URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjxA1xuUrmU[/URL] (or you could use mouse sharing software like synergy or Microsoft mouse without borders)
It's useful for chatting in game/browsing tutorials/wiremod wiki.
If you really wanted to use it as a second monitor, you can run it using this software: [URL]http://www.maxivista.com/[/URL]
It does cost but it's really good and there is literally NO free alternative out there.
You really might want to bump up the ram though, a 1gig stick which fits wont be that much and you will notice a huge increase.
Also, if you go to the wacom website and download the drivers, the pen will have pressure sensitivity.
It will run paint.net, but don't think about putting PS or similar on it.
