Have noticed several tablet style laptops out that are

Curious if everyone thinks they are "fluff"? Or
something really handy say for a student pr typical PC
user?
I'm a bit worried abt that mechanical connection that
allows the screen to swivel around and fold flat. Could
it be a BIG point of failure and weakness over time?
IMO the tablet PCs image isn't what your reality would likely be.
Usually tablet PC marketing shows a document being marked up with
digital ink circles and arrows, giving the impression that with a
tablet PC you would get a document or e-mail and be able to use
free-hand creativity and eas of use to make changes.
Then what? You send a digitally inked marked up document to the
person who sent you the e-mail, or you print it, or you save it (in
what format?). And what happens when you edit the text -- what will
happen to the digital ink?
The other thing marketed is using digital ink with MS OneNote. I love
OneNote 2007, and it possibly would be able to store a lot of freehand
ink in notebooks that would make them easy enough to find. I can type
faster than I can write though, and would choose typing over writing.
There are probably some business uses for touch-screen laptops that
would make good use of the technology.
For freehand writing, I will stick with some VERY high technology.
Paper and pen. No batteries required, high-resolution, screen size 8
1/2 x 11 but weighs almost nothing and can be folded up and carried in
your pocket or wallet.
