What I don't understand is why advanced tablets, some powered by Wacom technology with 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity, cost less than $2k, the price of the 21" Cintiq... (which for those who don't know is an LCD monitor / Wacom tablet device). And the 12" one costs a grand... so it's hard to justify buying one when you could have a fully-functional tablet PC for the same price. I just wish there was one targeted to creative pros.]]>Mar 5th 2009 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/05/dell-latitude-xt2-multi-touch-tablet-now-shipping-april-9th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/05/dell-latitude-xt2-multi-touch-tablet-now-shipping-april-9th/
Now instead of writing a note to do a task in the meeting to be put into Outlook later, I enter it directly into Outlook during the meeting... I'm able to prioritize, schedule, whatever, right then because I have access to all my PC stuff at my fingertips. Also, when the meeting goes into something I don't really need to pay attention to I can work on other things when it appears to the other members in the meeting that I'm taking notes about whatever mindless blather they are spewing. This Lenovo is quiet, light, solid as a rock, and has created a huge leap in my productivity and sanity. I love this machine. No more piles of notes to wade through after a day of endless meetings.

I spend about 70% of the time using it as a traditional laptop and the remainder as a tablet. I'm not a graphic designer or doctor, just a knowledge worker. The convergence tablet is the perfect solution for me and I couldn't imagine to going back to a regular laptop.

In transferring data from my 6-month old Latituted to my ThinkPad the superiority of Lenovo's keyboard and trackpoint became very clear and for that reason alone I'd choose the X200 over the XT2. I did a fair amount of research between the two and just don't understand the price premium of the Dell. I got mine with maxed out specs, 8-cell battery, docking station etc for right under $2k. A similarly equipped XT2 is almost double that? Even if the Dell is better, it's not THAT much better.....

But anyway, to the main article in general... You do realize that people have already bought and received their XT2s already, don't you?

I'll anxiously await your review. In the mean time, I have some questions.

Did it come pre-installed with 64-bit Vista?

Does it have a backlit keyboard?

Do you know if it can drive a 30 inch LCD when connected to a dock station?

How's the multi-touch?

Where are you going to post your review?
