I have one of the Dell Duo’s and love it! It is not at all sluggish, but I do admit that I use it for things that a netbook it intended, I am certain it would be terrible for extra-large spreadsheets or trying to run database instances. For the average executive level person it is more than enough computer, much more powerful than my Evo or any Android (or other manufacturer) -based tablet. Tim

I’ve heard the Dell Duo is a bit sluggish, although it seems to have the functionality that you want ( even though a dual core Atom 550 and 2gb RAM, no match for an i5 and 4gb RAM ). For just a bit more, the Lenovo ThinkPad X220T can run the i7, and has decent reviews too. Even more powerful, while even less portable Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event !

Full Windows 7 is what I'm looking for. It will also function as a regular desktop.

We want to test e-signatures using the touch screen instead of an add-on USB signature card. Any suggestions? I see several vendors have these. Since this is just testing, nothing high-end is needed.
