Im getting a tablet PC. (eventually)

Hey everybody.
I have decided for my next computer I want a tablet covertible labtop. I want the tablet for easier not taking in subjects like calculus, as well as other classes. I also would love to see how much this can help me with my photoshop work ).

So far I have narrowed it down to one I want, but since I dont have the money left, their is time to change my mind.

This is the Toshiba Satellite R15-S829. Information on it can be found here http//www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=333381&pfp=BROWSE

To me this seems best. Although it is alittle heavier, and has a 400mhz bus as compared to most with a 533, it is also alittle over $1,000. It comes with 512mb Ram, 1.7 Ghz Pentium M, Wireless internet - which I need for school, and an 80gb harddrive (which is no improvement over my 80gb desktop that is 90% music, but the tablet would not be used like the desktop.)

Any comments/suggestions?

i think it would be a good choice, dont know much about toshiba but go for it

I'm interested in getting one, but I don't have the money right now. This is the same that I thought that I'd want after looking around a little.

they should have a free tablet pc site. might help u out a bit.

i have two tablets, the best thing about it is INKBALL!

Is that the thing that allows you to "pen" over anything in any program?

Lol....

Im in the same situation as you drummer, looking ahead cause I dont have the cash now.

I have the toshiba M205 (same as M200) and love it... tracks the pen better than my friends Acer tablet

ive used a friends gateway one, the specs on it suck but the tablet part of it is badass

yea, i used my friend's dad's one night... it was bad ass, I wan't one, although I love my Vaio and My Ibook...

i have an ibook and a graphics tablet so i need a new gaming pc

Are tablet pcs as nice as a graphics tablet? How well do they work with photoshop?

they suck compared to a graphics tab imo.
a graphics tab will get pressures and everything where a tablet is like touch or no touch.
and a graphics tablet is a lot cheaper.

I have a compaq that detatches from the keyboard, its pretty cool but its more of a portable device than a real computer.

the latest toshiba i got is great, its kind of heavy but its a 1.7ghz centrino , ill get the exact model for you guys later

btw inkball

Yea I LOVE INKBALL...sooo much fun..

BTW if your looking for a GAMING TABLET PC...go for the TecraM4..its what I have and its badass with CSSource. But its in the ~$2k price range

would love to go for the gaming model, but ill stick to the "check reality, your a broke ass student model"
