compact tablets
ok, so i'm looking for a small tablet pc, with a screen about 10" or so across. i've looked at the dell latitude XT so far, and the reviews on the site all seem quite iffy about battery life and the pen etc.
any experiences with tablets? |

Merv, I wish I had a recommendation but I don't like them. I've worked on a few and I know people that swear by them. The doctors I know who've tried them liked them but they were unreliable.

I got a 4x5 like three years ago. It still works great. As for Tablet PCs... why do you even want one?

yeah, it needs to be quite tough, too. i want it so i can use it as a control surface while working as a sound engineer. power isn't an issue, just reliability and durability. it just needs to be able to run gnome smoothly (or maybe win2k)
all the processing will be done elsewhere, so i can get a rack pc sorted for that. |

I don't think Gnome would be a problem but, wow, good luck finding W2K drivers for anything currently produced!
