What Kind of Tablet PC to Buy?

nic barajas asks: "I'm going to be attending college this fall, so I have been looking into a computer to use on campus. My preference has been to looking at the Tablet PC, although they are still in their proverbial infancy. I have been looking at a multitude of vendors, including Sager, Acer, and Toshiba. I'm looking for something that has a sizeable screen (at least 12"), decent storage (40GB+), and a long battery life. What are some of the better models on the market with these characteristics?"

    I agree. I sunmitted a more worthy item that was rejected. I think I'll post it here for the hell of it. It will make this post more interesting anyway:

    The notorious female hacker Gigabyte (19 years old) was arrested in Belgium under a computer data sabotage law introduced in 2000. If convicted, she faces up to three years in prison and fines of up to 100,000 euros (US$127,000). Gigabyte was quoted in a recent New York Times Magazine article discussed on Slashdot. She has been very outspoken about hacker stereotypes countering the claim that hackers are, "pizza-addicted, sex-starved, ugly teens who never get outside." She is widely credited with writing the first Microsoft .Net virus. Authorities seized her computers and shut down her website. It's interesting to note that under Belgian law she could be sued for damages by any corporation damaged by her work (e.g., Microsoft).
