Our lead animator has the Slate running windows 7. It's not bad, but has a few obvious shortcomings such as no place to store the stylus when not in use. Also doesn't have a mode to only acknowledge the stylus. Resting your hand on the slate while using the stylus often results in unintended actions.

Actually the one device I'm very interested in is the Samsung Series 7 slate running Windows 8. It's a Core i5 based machine with a Wacom screen, so it's 100% Windows, not RT. Seems like a good alternative to a Cintiq with the bonus of being a full-blown computer. But with Win 8 officially shipping soon, I'm waiting to see if there's a hardware refresh on the unit in the fall. -Paul
