^^^ Yeah you're right. I remember watching a presentation (by Microsoft) on Tablet PCs and Microsoft One Note Software, and I was actually amazed at the time at what it was capable of. Somehow I got the impression that they haven't quite realized the functionality they demonstrated at this presentation. I think that Tablets are definitely the way to go and in time they will replace conventional laptops (especially the convertable ones or even slates with something to protect the screen in transit). Right now they IMHO they're not at a point where I would be completely comfortable with one. However everyone has different opinions and different levels of comfort with new technology. I'm pretty sure my next machine will be a tablet.
