$1000 minimum. Have any of you guys ever seen the Tri-Fold? Can't remember who made it, but it came out a year or two ago. It really looked cool.<br><br>Dan East

If that has good expansion capabilities i might consider moving from my ipaq to that. I really like the screen size it looks like 2 720 screens stacked.

I always thought this Sharp HPC Pro device was a very cool design. I've never seen one in person, but it can function as both a laptop and tablet. You can close the top with the screen facing the keyboard for "closed" position, or with the screen facing outward for tablet mode. <br><br><br>I think this device is discontinued.<br><br>Dan East

This came out around 2 years ago, hence it only has 16 MB RAM, a slow MIPS processor, etc.<br><br>Dan East
