Updated October 18, 2005 Write, rather than type, in meetings. Create a searchable archive of all your handwritten notes; convert notes to text and share them with colleagues. Work easily with drawings, formulas, or signatures. You can do a lot with a tablet PC, and the past six months have seen a slew of new tablets in all shapes and sizes. The thinnest tablets are keyboard-free slates, such as the Motion LE1600. Lightweight convertibles, such as the HP Compaq tc4200 and the ThinkPad X41 Tablet, travel easily and can function as a laptop or a tablet. And a new group of larger convertibles, such as the Gateway CX200X and the Acer TravelMate C310, are best described as laptops with tablet functionality. Whatever size fits you best, Microsoft Windows XP Tablet Edition gives you a range of handwriting-recognition and annotation tools, so you can kiss your ink pen good-bye. More resources

| Review summary | Lighter and smaller than the competition, the admittedly pricey Motion LE1600 is one of the best full-size slate tablets we've seen so far. | Though slightly flawed, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 makes pen-based computing feasible for the average worker. | With the performance of a laptop in a lightweight case, the ThinkPad X41 tablet is one of the best convertible tablets we've seen. |
