Tablet PC

do what i'm gonna do, get a laptop and get a graphics tablet. something like a wacom graphire4 to do the drawings or whatever that u need from a tablet pc.

My dad has one. They are cool to mess around with and draw, but after a while the novelty wears off. I can type faster than write with one of those things.

u're not really supposed to write with a tablet, the tablet is used for notes that require drawings or diagrams.

Tablets are cool, but in my opinion, the only tablet worth getting is the IBM Thinkpad x41 tablet, they're AWESOME.

Hope I could help.

It's a convertible, so you can either use it as a tablet, or use it as a normal laptop.

Also, acer's newest models have a 6600go, which I have seen play bf2 on medium settings.

Not bad if you ask me...

Thick though, but shouldn't be anything compared to a 17".

Latest Acer model on their website the C310 has only a 6200 on it....which one has the 6600?

yes i have a tablet i think gateway is coming out with a nice one now it love using my tablet but ya its not much for writing like an essay but for notes and drawing its just fine

when and where did you see it i haven seen any one with one

I use a Compaq TC1100 tablet PC as a second PC when I want something very transportable. There is no lag and it is very nifty. I don't play games so I can't comment on that.

I'm almost convinced that my next laptop will be a tablet, but when I was looking for one recently I decided to go with a conventional 12-inch laptop instead, because tablets just aren't *quite* there yet in terms of getting something that's nearly the same size as a regular laptop with the same performance. There's really no reason why they shouldn't be, either. Look at the X41 that's ****ing awesome and exactly the same as the X40. Prices are a bit high, too. In two or three years, I'll definitely be able to get what I'm looking for, but it just wasn't feasible right now.

Gateway just came out with an awesome tablet/notebook which looks really great and its not too expensive. The home version is the CX200. It has a keyboard and is basically a laptop that you can turn into a tablet by flipping the screen. This would probably the best tablet out for schoolwork. It comes with a lot of good software for students as well.

The Gateway doesn't use the wacom digitizer. It uses a propietary digitizer that requires a battery to be in the pen, does not have an eraser, and has no pressure sensitivity at all. It lacks a lot of the usability and functionality of a real tablet, but it does have a nice screen. I would not recommend the Gateway at all as a tablet unless you are intending on using it mostly as a standard notebook. It is probably the worst tablet pc out there, in terms of tablet functionality. Price wise it is not that great either used as a normal notebook.

Toshiba M4 is a good tablet as well. 14" screen, 1400x1050 resultion, geforce 6600. I play BF2 with mostly high, some medium settings just fine @ 1024x768 resolution. Uses a lot of the latest tech, DDR2, SATA drive, etc.

A tablet's main use is for note taking that requires diagrams, artist work, or general input a mouse is inadequate for. A tablet pc's main advantage over the suggestion of buying a seperate wacom tablet is that you are drawing right on the screen, so do not have to translate what you are doing on the tablet to a screen feet away from your hand.

A tablet is not for most and if you are unsure if you want to make a jump to a slate type, get a convertable.

The gateway tablet does actually have pressure sensitivity. There is a lot of confusion about this, but it does in fact have it. just check out the gateway forum at tabletpcbuzz.com.
Also, the battery on the pen last over 4 years (thats what I have heard).
I havent gotten it yet, but based on what I have read, this is a great notebook/tablet at an okay price.
