Tablet PC

I’ve seen two tablet PC’s in the past week, which is more than I’ve even heard of in probably the past year. When I went around looking at various laptops and computers in September (I ended up with the Fujitsu Lifebook that I’m using now), I didn’t even think about tablet PC’s because they just weren’t being used.

Now that I’ve spent a little time around a few of them, I find them incredibly cool. The basic tradeoff is that you lose some “oomph” and you get some sweet stylus-type action. While I can’t say that I write faster than I type, I still think the ability to draw on to your computer screen is one of the sweeter things it offers.

Next time around, I guess (read: 4 to 5 years from now).
