Microsoft Tablet PC

I am absolutely in love with Microsoft Tablet PC. I have been using an IBM X41 Tablet PC for a few months right now, and I absolutely love it. After reading a significant amount of negative commentary about it, I have to say; the people making negative comments about Tablet PC must not have actually used it. Of course, looking back at much of the commentary, that does appear to be true; most of the people making the comments are simply pundits making comments with no basis on actual experience. For me, the Tablet PC represents a delivery of the promise of technology to bring about a true "paperless office". I've found that in my time using my Tablet, I began relying less and less on paper. Now, I barely use paper at all, except for the occasional sticky note reminder stuck to the monitor of my desktop PC.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that I have the IBM X41 Tablet, which is, at least as far as the general Tablet PC reviews go, one of the best Tablet PCs currently available. Although I have not used any other Tablets, I would have to say that the X41 is definitely a winner. For me, it is the perfect form factor.

About 75% of my time is spent in Client meetings, with the remainder of my time spent doing design and development work. I find my Tablet works perfectly for this. It's like having a portable paper-based notebook and daytimer combined in one. Oh, and it just happens to contain a complete archive of my email, as well as all of my files, and a copy of my current development projects, which is perfect for referencing in meetings.

Overall, I couldn't be happier. Call me a Tablet PC Convert.
