This is a link to the IdeaPad S10-3T which I was looking at (Netbook Tablet)

Asus has their own version, this one has an 8.9" screen (the one above is 10.1) Asus has a 10.1" too.

As far as I can tell all the Asus ones are resistive.

There is also a model called the T91 with no alpha chars after it which doesn't have a removable battery. Not advisable but cheaper.

The netbook tablets will run you around 400-500 for a new one. You can get used TabletPC's (typical laptop form factor), some around the same price point, but it was only recently that they started getting decent touch technology. I am NOT a big fan of resistive touch screen technology. It isn't horrible, but it isn't very good. Think of the older touch-screen phones. I think most of the newer androids are all capacitive nowadays.

If you don't have a huge resolution it is a royal pain in the ass to touch anything on a resistive without using some sort of stylus, capacitive is MUCH more precise.

Otherwise it just comes down to typical laptop/system specs. Most of them won't get you an onboard optical drive so you will need an external one of some sort. I got a Media Base (docking station) with a DVD-RW for 30 bucks for this model I got.

If all you are doing is hitting an occasional button w/ the touch screen such as in a book reader, no big deal. If you are using it in tablet mode a lot and working with the standard Windows UI and don't want to deal with a stylus, then I suggest capacitive.

I can pretty much fill you in on any comp hardware stuff you don't know, although I haven't been keeping up on the lastest processors or anything for a year or 2 since I haven't bought anything recently.

I was way more into that stuff when I was on TeamATi.

I can fill you in on a lot of stuff. I got the Dell Latitude XT, it was one of the only ones with a capacitive touchscreen. A lot of tablets didn't even let you use your finger, you had to use the stylus. If they DO let you use your finger, it was typically resistive touchscreen which uses pressure. The capacitive is what the iPhone uses, so you barely touch it. The Dell also supports multi-touch technology but from what I hear the implementation was a bit spotty on this one, too bleeding edge, which is why I can get a tablet that sold for $2500 in late 07 for under $400 today. I was thinking about getting a tablet netbook (The IdeaPad with a capacitive touchscreen, but those netbooks only have a single core Atom proc with 2GB max memory, just too little resources for a decent all around laptop. Although I would have made sacrafices if it wasn't close to $500. I kinda stumbled on the dell.

This is what I got: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260649826395

It says the keyboard is in French, so I bought an English one for 13 bucks.

8:30 here. Yea, I would have to read a bit first, but I will probably wrap up on the computer soon. I just bought a tablet PC to read PDFs on. I bought it off ebay and it seemed to check out ok so hopefully it works properly when I get it

You're welcome ;D

*points his shaking finger to the cupboard*

It's in there, take what you want, please don't hurt me!

Going to be early sounds like an absolutely great idea...
