"Great tablet PC with good performance"
Pros: Full desktop/laptop replacement, nice screen & keyboard, good performance
Cons: Quite heavy, runs quite hot, stylus needs recalibration when switching screen orientation
Summary: Just got this Tablet PC with 2 GHz Core 2 Duo. Good performance but wish I had spent the money for the extra 1Gb of RAM which would have improved Photoshop. The screen is great with good visibility in a wide range of lighting conditions. Battery performance is good - I'm getting around 4 hours use with the 8 cell battery. Stylus calibration jumps around a bit when switching screen orientation but it's generally usable without re-calibrating. The tablet is quite heavy but no worse than any fully equipped laptop. The positioning of the headphone jack is not ideal when watching movies but sound quality through the speakers is ok. When coupled with a wireless broadband card it's awesome to be able to surf the Net while commuting. Delivery was delayed by hold-up with hard drive but Gateway substituted a larger hard drive for free on request and tablet was only a couple of days late. Overall it's a good machine - tablet functionality is supposed to be even better in Vista.
