I think Tablets will take off with Windows 7. I love my HP Tablet. I thought tablets were okay before 7. but they never worked like I thought a tablet should.
But I think the above comment about them being weaker for heat reasons is incorrect. the reason why the specs are lower is because they have to compensate for the cost of the screen. these screens are active digitizers. if you look up the price for a wacom tablet, you can see the technology is not cheap. but they want to sell the tablets at near regular notebook prices so they cut on minor features. they're not slow anymore though. mine is spec'ed out and my friends love the look of the machine. it's compact, it runs great and has a bunch of features.
the only negative is that it runs hot. really hot. you could probably burn yourself if you hold your hand over the vent.
The Cobra Tag may help you win that losing battle, acting as a Bluetooth device that attaches to your key ring and connects to your phone, it gives you the opportunity to find the missing item if it's less than 30 feet away.
