Budget and desire finally met and I ordered a Motion M1300 TabletPC (
http://www.motioncomputing.com ). The model I ordered has a 900MHz Centrino Processor, 768MB of RAM, and a 40GB hard drive.
If anyone is interested in my true opinion of a TabletPC after I receive it then I'd be happy to honestly oblige your request. If no one cares then I Won't bother collecting my thoughts into this thread. If anyone else is interested in TabletPCs then I'd be happy to give you my experiences.
