Sounds like a great idea.

Anyway, I'm really liking the idea of getting a tablet instead of a notebook. I think that a convertible is probably the way to go as I'm not quite ready to give up my beloved keyboard. Before I commit to a tablet I do have a few questions though.
That is what we are here for ...

Does it makes sense for me to wait until July before purchasing a tablet? I've heard that several upgrades are likely to be made this summer including the newest windows version and wireless N. Is that true and if so should I wait?
The Tablet PC XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 is a free upgrade. In fact, many tappers are using the Service Pack 2 release candidate on production machines without many incidents.

What tablet should I look into? The only first hand experience I have with one is the HP 1100.
Tough question! The HP TC1100 is a great slate whereas the Toshiba M205 is a convertible (notebook and slate mode) with the best resolution. Then don't forget to consider the Acer with the larger screen size and a built in CDR.

Do any of the tablets come with a built in CD drive? I'm not adverse to getting an external, just trying to consider the pros/cons of each.
Yes, check out our comparison chart for details.
