Tablet PC's

Hi all,

I have been considering obtaining a tablet pc to take with me to class to take notes on, prepare homework solutions etc. What are everyone's opinions on tablet pc's these days? Are they generally sturdy and reliable? I'm currently looking at Lenovo Thinkpad X tablet series. Thanks in advance.

my buddy had the x45 i think and he absolutely loved it, but didn't find himself using the tablet much, but just used it as a laptop.

my company bought me an Averatec one that i wasn't too impressed with. it was a combo of bad hardware and not really meeting my needs. i had intended to use it like you, for notes, but i found that i was able to get faster speeds by using a Bluetooth keyboard on my pocket pc. perhaps my handwriting is too sloppy, but i couldn't get used to writing on the screen. it just feels so unnatural.

i have other friends who swear by them, though, so it could just be a personal thing.
