I looked at tablets a few months ago. They seem more suited to a niche market. For school, it would be better to get a laptop for typing. They're worthless for games, and with the ultra low voltage chips they are using, most anything else.
The only situation that seems to warrent a $2500 tablet is a professional artist. Thats it. $2500 can buy you a kickass 5lb Pentium M laptop.
Linux on Tablet? Great, now you can't even use Photoshop, the only worthwhile use...
