    My work gave as table pcs and now I am switching jobs within the company and would like to purchase one for myself. I have a gaming box but would also like to be able to run wow on the tablet. Price is no concern at this time. The following are models that I have looked at. I am asking for recommendation both within this list or outside of it. Any laptop would have the memory bumped to 1G. Tablets do not run on 512mg well I have found. I am only looking at convertables atm.

    Gateway CX200
    HP TC4200
    IBM ThinkpadX41
    Toshiba Protege M200

    Thank you in advance for any input that anyone of you might have. Time frame for purchase is around 3 months from now.

    You're better off waiting three months and then seeing what is avaliable then.

    The best one I can think of is the Toshiba with the 6600go.

    That Toshiba is as good as it gets in a tablet currently graphics-wise.

    We really don't have that much information about tablets over here, I encourage you to check out our sister site, www.TabletPCReviewSpot.com and see what is there.
