I am looking into a tablet pc. I am confused by all I read about them and having trouble making a desision. I would like to see one but stores don't seem to carry them.

I would like it to be around $1500 but might go to $2000 if I am convinced of value.

I plan to use it for general computing.
Note taking, presentations, book keeping (Quicken), music, watching videos?, email, web.

Minimuns I believe I need:
60Geg Hard Drive minimun 100 better
512 Meg Memory
CD/DVD player - CD burner , maybe DVD burner
USB/ Firewire ports
PCMCIA slot
WiFi
bluetooth?
ethernet
docking ?

I have been looking into Acer, Toshiba, Gateway

Any Ideas what you would get and why?
