That’s where Android and iPad come in.  Touchscreen keyboards are phenomenal
on those.

In that case, it is probably perfect for her.  It really is a neat little
device, although I dislike the touch-screen keyboard intensely.  I suffer
from stupidfingers, and I fail miserably with the touch screen.

 

Regarding the pins - for a 'normal' user, they are probably just fine.  I
agree that they are not flimsy in the least.  

 

However, I have Dr.'s and NP's who use a 'standard' tablet PC right now (no
moving parts) to fill in forms while doing house calls, and the things
they've managed to do to those poor devices should be outlawed by the Geneva
Convention.  They toss them around like they are paper tablets.  I can see a
great deal of trouble when/if we introduce the swivel screen.

Thanks much all she does is web surfing and email type of stuff for the most
part.

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

computer, much more powerful than my Evo or any Android (or other
manufacturer) -based tablet.

Here’s the Dell I was talking about:

Win7. Convertible between laptop and tablet.  And even less than the price
of the Xoom.

Looks like the link provided may be your best choice if the budget is right,
given the processor and memory.  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

Sorry folks I should have provided more detail.  Full Windows 7 is what I'm
looking for.  It will also function as a regular desktop.  Thanks for your
ideas so far.

Sure but you get Windows 7. It's really nice.

A friend of mine has that. It's pretty darn nice.

Full-size laptop? Or would a mini (like the Dell) or even a netbook do?

What OS?

Folks,

I'm in the market for a touch screen laptop tablet. 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.

Thanks,

Tom
