You got a link for that?

Any particularly reason for a Tablet PC; are you hoping to use it for graphic design or just like the idea?

You might also want to take a look at this thread by Icey.

Well I'm one of the Mac boys. But if you are looking for a PC and don't require it to be a tablet you can do a better for cheaper. One of my friends has one of these that he is very happy with.

That doesn't make sense because you can use an ipod with a PC as well.

Well, I'm with Azande too (predictable but right)...

For much less than £999.00 you could have a really good ibook, which would leave you extra cash to add more storage (for all that music), buy a cool remote control, get some good software (beyond the excellent stuff already included in the price), you'd not have to worry about catching a virus / spyware / etc... and it would just work!

I suggest you talk to Tiggerbabe, who invested into a Powerbook for DJ-ing and knows why it's better than the PC alternatives.

iPod is an Apple product but it is not a Mac. Why aren't you keen on iPods (the Nanos are so sexy). Or was it something Apple did to you?
