Seems like andriod and ipads are getting all the hype but i perfer a real solution where I can use all my software and not have to have a laptop with me.
Acer has a really nice one the Iconia tab w500 coming out in april
It seems a bit expensive at $850 for the states. I'm hoping that there is a refresh with Llano in the fall
The asus slate ep121 is really nice but is a bit large for me at 12.1inch and of course $1000
A 12.1″ IPS display with a Wacom digitizer, an Intel Core i5-470UM (1.33 GHz) dual-core processor, Intel HD graphics, 2GB/4GB of DDR3 RAM and 32GB/64GB of SSD storage.
The samsung pc 7 looks really good for the price , i think the oak trail z670 might be a little slow esp with an intel igp
althought $700 isn't bad

Are any of you guys looking at windows tablets and if so what are you looking for ?
I think i really need a dual core fusion 1.6ghz chip to run alot of the programs i want at reasonable speeds. I would perfer a dual core Llano chip however and well a price of under $700 would be good for that but i might be dreaming.
The main problem for me is that while an ipad or andriod tablet would be good for playing around and surfing the web , they wont really let me unchain myself from a laptop so i will be bringing around my ultra portable still even with an ipad 2 or xoom .
My current laptop is a amd dual core neo at 1.6ghz and a radeon 3200 + radeon 4200 . I'm thinking a dual core 1.6ghz bobcat would give me simlar cpu power and greater gpu power.
