OK.. this certainly isn’t for the faint of heart but if you’re wondering how you might convert say.. a Dell Mini 9 netbook into a Tablet PC wannabe, then you’ll want to check out this MyDellMini.com forum thread. In it, Rob928 describes his DIY project where he transforms a Dell Vostro A90 netbook (basically a business version of the Dell Mini 9) into a touch-screen enabled Slate device. The touchscreen is complements of the Hoda Technology solderless touchscreen kit. Pretty cool project although I doubt I’ll ever have the time or patience to do something like this myself.
