Hi,

I am new to this Forum. Hi y'all!

I am strongly considering buying a Tablet PC. I have got one question and one favor to ask.

First, a specific question: Are there any economists out there (undergrads, graduate students, faculty, or other researchers) who use Tablet PCs? What is your experience with writing math? I know about MathJournal, but I am less interested in doing calculations than in getting the math to be conveniently usable in other text I write. (Perhaps there is a thread which already deals with this in detail...please let me know.)

Second, the only machine I have been able to try out so far is Toshiba's M200. Not bad, but I'd like to try something else before I make up my mind. Moreover, it would be nice to see what a Tablet PC can do when the user knows how to use it (not exactly what I got when I checked out the Toshiba at Bestbuy...).

So, would anybody in the Cambridge, MA or Boston area be able to spare some time for me? I'll buy you a drink or a cup of coffee....Any pointers to stores which carry Tablet PCs and are willing to show them -- for example, *not* Infocater -- are also much appreciated.

Many thanks!

Best,
Alex

Welcome to the forums !

You might want to check out this thread.

If you have a costco near you then you might check out the Averatec and get a good comparison. The Averatec does not use the same digitizer and it is an AMD based Tablet PC.

Sorry, I'm on the west coast. However, you might check on the Tablet PC Meetup website for people in your area. They happen monthly.

Please let us know if you make progress and when you decide to get your Tablet PC.
