Dave Taylor Is Closer But Still Not Convinced About Tablet PCs

I've been following Dave Taylor's adventures with a Lenovo X41 Thinkpad Tablet PC. He's smitten by the handwriting recognition. After a month with the Thinkpad he's still not completely convinced. Daves a Mac user and longs for an Apple Tablet and some of his frustrations stem from Windows and some from the hardware. He's got some interesting comments about this thinking.

To me, the key question is whether the cost and hassles of managing with yet one more piece of sophisticated technology outweighed by the benefits of the unit. And at this point, I'd have to say yes, the X41 Tablet PC is a good solution.

And he concludes his post with this:

And, finally, when my evaluatory period is up, am I going to buy an X41 Tablet PC from Lenovo or one of its outlets? That's probably the $64,000 question (adjusted for inflation), and at this point I'd say that I'm leaning towards buying one, but I really want to experience a few different solutions from other vendors: I'm convinced that for all its flaws and hiccups I can work well in Windows for Tablet PC and, down the road, Windows Vista for Tablet PC, but the X41? I'm not at 100% yet...

There's some good info in between those two excerpts. Give it a read here.
