    I was thinking about getting the Lenovo X60t. This will be used in conjunction with a desktop, so I am really not worried about limited power, HDD space, monitor size, ect. The tablet will primarily be used for school and just a mobile notebook. However, since I have never used a Tablet, I imagine it is either you love it, or you hate it. I don't want to put out $2400 and then hate it. Has anyone used a tablet before, what are your thoughts?

    I wish that Lenovo would put NAND SSD drives in their high-end tablets. This would increase battery performance by more than 20%, reduce weight, and noise. I hope they consider NAND SSD drives in future tablets (and all notebooks).

    We do have TabletPCReview within our fold. SSD are the future, but not many are using them. We do have a review of the x60 tablet as well.

    Also consider the Fujutsu and Toshiba models. As ZaZ mentioned, you can get help at TPC Review.

    SSD are extremely expensive at this point and have very low capacities. Until the technology improves, the use for SSD are for UMPC and Subnotebooks.
