eWeek provides a look at the Gateway M285-E Tablet PC.

With this combination of processing performance and graphics capability, the M285-E we tested was on par with other business-class notebook machines we've looked at from a graphics and performance standpoint.

This is a great quote. Many people still think notebooks outperform Tablet PCs.

CNet reviews writes: The key feature of the Gateway M285-E is its screen, connected to the rest of the chassis by a rotating center hinge. When in its default position, the screen looks and acts like a normal laptop display. The 14-inch wide-screen LCD has a native resolution of 1,280x768, roughly in line with a 12.1-inch laptop. Most nontablet PCs of this size have 15.4-inch screens, which bump the resolution up to 1,680x1,050. The larger type and icons you get with 1,280x768 help when using the tablet functions, which are generally viewed from an arm's length away.
