I've been itching to get one, too. There was a gateway that was super sexy.

I have a Toshiba M200 and I love it. The 1400 x 1050 resolution is great when you are close to the screen while surfing on the couch.

I was looking at tablets(convertible) this year in the hopes of having one that would allow me to draw out my designs like a notepad of paper.
I could find one that was sensitive enough.

Bought a cheaper laptop, i figuired in the next couple of years they should get better/good enough

You need something like the Wacom Cintiq

I want to get one as well.. seems like HP and Toshiba are leading the way with tablet PC's....

I can never go back to normal computing after using a tablet and i thank my buddy who turned me on to it.....i absolutely love it.

I picked up the HP TC4200 which is a slate and keyboard combination. I would have bought a straight slate (no keyword), but i'm using this particular HP model for travel. For me, being on a trip or away for a long time, a slate and keyboard combination is more useful to me....mainly so i can go back and forth to suit my comfort. Even though i'm finding that i hardly ever use a keyboard anymore.

But I plan on buying a pure 100% slate tablet for around here at home and when i'm just running errands around town.

Pick one up...you won't regret it.

You guys and your toys... I'm sticking to desktops. :)

Hey OnlyMOvies the HP tc4200 looks awesome! Hows the recognition software work when you write notes on it? Is it accurate?

Alwasy been a big fan of your sites by the way!

The new Gateway is getting great reviews, and the Toshiba is top class also.

Either one are excellent.

Thanks KRL, so far I like the Toshiba best. I wonder if the video cards good enough to play games on it though?

The recognition software is truly remarkable and incredibly accurate. Check around and you'll see people's positive comments. I take notes all the time now and rarely do i need to fix letters or words. I was writing full notes and everything within a day. I do everything now with the tablet. I'm barely on my desktop anymore these days. :)

Be sure to pick up OneNote from microsoft to go with your tablet. Both those together makes a truly amazing experience. Very productive.

Cheers! :drinkup

no but they look badass
