I am considering purchasing a tablet pc as a second unit as i like the
idea however as i have not really had the opportunity to see one in
practice i have a few queries.

Being based on XP Pro, I am told that any app running on my desktop
will also run on a tablet. What is the real user experience like for
working with forms, textboxes, etc. Can you write in textboxes? Daft
question, but do you have to write small or adjust display settings?

I have read positive feedback about the acer 300 series - is the
battery life really as good as claimed?

Thanks in advance

Hi, I have an Acer C301, it is awesome. Everything I run on my desktop, I am able to run on the tablet. Forms, textboxes are easy to use, you can adjust the font size. You can also, write in cursive, and then have the system turn it to text. The Acer also has voice recognition software, so you can actually dictate, and the system will type it for you.

The battery life on my Acer averages about 5 hours, more or less depending on what I am running. The largest drain without AC connection is the wireless network card.

I love the system.

buy tablet pc ASAP!
life is too short not to have a tablet pc (but must be with wi-fi and
centrino to fully enjoy it)
