How were the nominations done?
No HP/Compaq?

This was the nomination thread.

It ran from December 19 until January 10. If you have a particular model that you believe should be nominated then I am not opposed to place it in the pool but you'll need to give a good reason for it being added.

Let us know.

Review - Konstantinos Karagiannis - 12/9/2003

the first link may not work for a few days but it has gotten great reviews. Also I have owned or examined very closely the HP/Compaq TC 1000 , Toshiba 3500 , and the Panasonic Toughbook , and the latest machine from HP is a clear winner.

Great versatility, wonderful design , it stands up well in real world situations (in my case-all day lectures as a presenter).

The field of view is wonderful, and this just means that it is truly useable in any situation I can imagine from walking around lecturing and sketching to lounging and loafing.

Is that enough to get it nominated?

Excellent post. The HP/Compaq TC1100 was added to the poll. Thank you for your contribution and the links.

glad to see Gateway

Toshiba all the way. Love the screen resolution. OneNote is included.

Toshiba rulez !!!!!

I vote for Gateway M275!

Without a doubt, the Gateway 275 is the best for 2003. Beautiful LARGE screen (very useful when using TIP in Word). Integrated CDRW. 5.6 lbs. (not bad considering it's full functional - If you carry the Toshiba and its outboard CDRW, you're back to over 5 lbs. anyway).

The GATEWAY rocks, talks, and doesn't shock. Great machine with great service.

I believe Toshiba Tablet PC M200 is by far the best out there. I have been using mine for about 2 months and could not come up with a complaint. It is a little pricey, but worth it once you use it and fall in love with it. I am in college and this has become my virtual notebook.
