Tablet PC

I am interested in a table pc or actually what I would really like is
one with a built in tiny keyboard like a PDA. Must be as small as
possible and light as possible, run XP, USB, be able to plug in a
standard keyboard, mouse.

I would like to actually try it before buying it.

Can anyone recommend a brick and mortar store to see one?

Thanks,

Larry N.

Re: Tablet PC

You might want to check Allegiant at http://alltp.com. They have a 48 try
before you buy option.

Most stores carry only one or two brands and they're not always the ones you
want.

As for the requirements you're asking for, you can always get a portable USB
or bluetooth fold-up keyboard. I can't think of any Tablet PC that won't
connect to another keyboard and mouse.

You say as small as possible, but you don't give dimensions. It oculd be
that you'd be more interested in a UMPC than a Tablet PC, or one of the
smaller Tablets such as the Fujitsu 1600 series or the OQO.

Keep in mind that almost any modern tablet (including UMPCs) will allow
use of a pocket sized foldup bluetooth keyboard (Think Outside or similar)
