Can anyone recommend a good tablet pc for me?
I want it to be lightweight, portable, stylish, yet rugged.
I would like to use it for traditional computing as well as for music, pictures, maybe some light gaming, and most importantly AutoCAD and hopefully Photoshop or Illustrator.
Can you actually draw in AutoCAD with a tablet PC, or a comparable program such as Google Sketchup?
Any advice is welcome. I know a fair amount about computers, but am quite unfamiliar with tablet pc’s.
Thanks

Yes – buying a tablet pc involves a lot of research. I think a convertible tablet pc would suit your needs rather than a traditional “slate” model; the convertibles swing on their hinges so you can use them like an ordinary laptop or as a “slate”; slates have no keyboards apart from onscreen ones or peripherals which you attach – screens come with varying resolutions and with active or passive digitizers.
Here’s a database of all current models:
The tablet pc community is extremely helpful and knowledgeable; someone is bound to have direct experience of AutoCAD and will offer pertinent advice before you part with your money.
