Tablet PCs

[Jeff Waegelin]

Thanks for the input, everyone. I've been thinking about this a little more, and while I really like the Tablet PC concept, I'm a little concerned about trying to use one as my primary PC. I can really only take one PC with me in the fall, so if I buy this tablet, I'll be using it all the time. Do you think this is something I could use as my regular PC, or is it too small and specialized for that?

If you have the money, they have laptops where the screen can flip around and lay down flat, like a tablet.

That's the kind I'm looking at, if you read my initial post... I'm looking at "convertible" tablet PCs.

So... I've been looking at this some more, and while I've alleviated my concerns about using a tablet as my primary PC, I'm still not sure if it's worth the price premium. Tablets are a lot more expensive than comparably equipped notebooks, and I can't decide if it's worth the extra money. Anyone else have any more input on this subject?

My local doctor's office is using HP Tablets, so I'd look into those. They look fine, are slim, and come with these cool docking stations. But hey, I'm a Mac user, so take it with a grain of salt.
