Dude, you should get a Gateway CX2724. That's the tablet I have. It kicks major ass. It was $1250 plus tax - they'll give you the original purchase price + tax towards your new machine, but you're on your own for the new warranty. Mine was $250 without accidental damage coverage.
ahh, ok, Iw as gonna ask you what you have. I see that you've been through BestBuy's program before
Have you ended up scratching your screen by writing on it?...
Nope, the screen is designed to avoid scratching and you of course use the stylus they provide.
I always get the Best Buy warranty program on laptops. I've gotten 3 batteries out of it (out of 2 computers!) and a new 17" LCD screen. Not to mention a brand-spankin' new computer. The cost of the warranty is always worth it.
I haven't had problem 1 with my Gateway - I'm actually quite impressed with how well it works. I get about 3.5 hours of battery life when I'm not playing an optical disc and when I have the screen on max brightness - a little less than advertised, but still more than my old laptop (I couldn't make it through a 75 minute class with that beast). Plus the tablet!
Overall this machine performs just as well as my home computer, and gets a Vista experience index of 2.6.
