How to clean tablet screen?

#1 Post by Yotam » Sun Sep 11, 2005 11:25 am

I simply LOVE this machine! It's beautiful, lightweight, silent, comfort and easy to use. Perfect for me.
The problem is that any small piece of dust on the screen, or sweat signs, makes me mad.
How do you recommend to clean the screen? A dry tissue is not always enough, and I afraid hurting it with something else.

I highly recomend a microfiber cloth. They will not scratch and remove dirt and grim like no other. After a day of using my X41 tablet, this cloth will make it look like new. Be careful as other cloths may scratch. A very slightly dampened one will remove everything.

I am glad you are enjoying yours, I just replaced my T43p with the tablet and could not be more happy. Once you get used to using the pen, you will be surprised on how productive you can get in the tablet mode.

What took me time to get used to was using the "red rubber thing" for pointing instead of the touch-pad, I know other TP users will be laughing but I never used that little red rubber pointer before.

Thank you.
About the touchpoint - I don't like it as I don't like the touchpad. They both are not comfort. Nothing will replace a regular optical mouse.
But - if you use it for some time you can really get used to it. It is easy when using Word or surfing the internet, but I always take a mouse with me - and now I also have the pen - so I have 3 options for pointing.

Along with the microfibre cloth, get some spray lens cleaner from an optician.
Use the cleaner along with the cloth for removing a lot of smudges.
