After eyeing the Toshiba Portege m200 for a few months now and always thinking if it dropped below 2000CHF I'd have to get one, it recently dropped from 2200 to 1580 at which point I couldnt resist. So I got a Centrino 1.6ghz based machine with 12" 1400*1050px (!) screen AND tablet PC functionality. Sadly, it seems that tablet PC is only really useable on Windows as Linux doesnt really offer much in the line of handwriting recognition (typing this on the keyboard though). The recognition works astonishingly well. Even my truly disgusting handwriting usually gets picked up flawlessly (it seems to use dictionaries behind the scenes to make sense of words) and just drawing into a PDF converted to a TIF for annotations rocks (no more looking for lose pages at the end of the term when you really should be learning.) More to come.
