Tablet PCs for Animators?

Hi I'm new here, doh. Anyways I haven't purchase a Tablet PC yet but I will at on June 30th. The reason I'm interesting in one is for animation. I use Retas pro, and Macromedia Flash to animate.

I figured this would eliminate the whole (draw on paper, then scan and edit each piece of paper) concept. When you have over 2700 frames that can be very time consuming.

Only thing is I can't decide which one to buy; all of them have pro's and cons.

My choices so far:
-Toshiba M205
Best all around but I prefer slates

-Motion Computing M1400
Best screen and 180 viewing angle but only 1.1 ghz

-Acer TravelMate C300
14.1 screen and 1.5 ghz but it's not a slate


I like these 3 because they seem more like they were "Animator Ready"

Any suggestion would be nice
I can only buy 1 :bawling:

Glad to join.



What I'm looking for is:

A slate with
Pentium M 1.5-1.7 mhz
40-60gig 5400/7200 hard drive
512 mb ram/ 2gb max
400mhz bus
12.1 screen size
nVIDIA GeForce FX Go 5200 32M graphics card


Is there anything close?
