[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 3341557, member: 5100"] I got a Gateway tablet a couple years ago and it has served me well. At the time, they edged out Toshiba a bit in performance, plus had the tempered glass (vs. acrylic) screen, so were more durable. The glass screen feels like writing with dry erase markers and the acrylic feels more like paper, FYI. My experience with the tablet is that I really don't use it in tablet mode very often. YMMV, but I'm not sure I'd go with tablet again -- not for any technical reason, but because it just isn't worth the extra cash. Of course, one reason for that is that I use PCGen for my game and Java doesn't seem to play well with the stylus (it doesn't automatically give you the popup handwriting area). You also pay with screen real estate. Finally, I never did get OneNote to payoff for on-the-fly note taking. That said, if you are a handwriting type of person, then a tablet may be a great choice. If you're taking classes or something similar, then you're good to go. [/QUOTE]
