Swivels Mix
Which would be better: A Tablet PC or a regular laptop?
I wanna get a new laptop but can't decide between a regular laptop or a Tablet PC. The Tablet PCs look really cool to me when they first came out. I've heard mixed reviews about them. I was thinking of maybe going for the kind that has the 360 swivel screen and it also has a keyboard, so it really is a Tablet and laptop in one. What I wanted to know is are those Tablet PCs as good as the Wacom tablets? Are there any drawbacks? I'm trying to make a pro/con list before I buy one. You're welcome to share yours. I would like to be well in formed. Thanks 
Btw, price is no option for me. I'm looking for quality over quantity. I wanna use it for note taking in class and I'd also be using programs like Microsoft Office and Photoshop and etc. Even gaming.
This has always been an area of interest for many people, my view on this is limited to reviews and opinions.
The biggest advantage of a tablet is - light weight, good battery life, quick startup and then the ability to browse the internet or watch a movie. They claim you can use them for business or for school but the limitations on software and connectivity make this in most situations impractical. The advantage of a computer is - well the ability to compute !!!
My view is that tablets work mainly due to the focus on the unit actually being a tablet - with light weight OS and limited spec's to keep battery life as long as possible. The issue with hybrid systems is that they never tick all the boxes - the software is never quite as good as a real tablet.
My view here is simple - ignore the tablet requirement I think you will never be totally happy with the actual result. But focus on the lightness and quick start-up ability coupled with good battery life. Seeing is money is no objection then if I was in your shoes I would go for a very lightweight laptop with good battery life - and right now I think the apple air is the top choice, it's a thin as a tablet and yet has the ability to do most of your above requirements- gaming may be hard as it only has a nvidia 320M. If your happy to wait for 8 weeks apple may have the refresh out with sandy bridge.
