Viewsonic Tablet PC V1100
The Viewsonic Tablet PC uses a slate design, which means it does not have an integrated keyboard. One of the drawbacks of this design is that you have to cart around an external keyboard if you’re not a big fan of using an on-screen keyboard.
Inside the tablet you will find an Intel Pentium III 866MHz processor with 256MB of RAM and a 20GB hard disk drive. The display is only 10.4in, which is standard for most Tablet PCs. Only the Toshiba has a larger screen, however its native screen resolution was the same.
The Viewsonic didn’t offer much in the way of performance; in fact it was quite slow. Its battery life of 1 hour and 58 minutes was also the shortest we tested. You can purchase a docking station, which will allow you to stand the tablet in a portrait mode. The docking station includes a CD-ROM as well as USB, VGA, and Ethernet ports; you can also buy a matching keyboard and mouse.

You really need to date your articles. I is a pain when Internet Articles are not date stamped. Clearly many of the rveiews are out of date or do not include the laterst products. Tablet Pc's is one such example. I would like a review of the Toshiba M200. I agree that when Tabet PCs are integrated into the Laptop market they will tak off. I also would be interetsed in a version that supports a blue-tooth Mobile phone built in along with a DVD drive for those long hall flights and bring hotel rooms. Oh... One other thing would be a Voice modem that can support an Aswering Machine when the Computer is left on at hme or in the hotel room.
