The product reviewed is the ViewSonic Tablet PC V1100. The full review can be found here.

"Firstly, allow me to state that I believe Tablets are the future of laptop/portable computing. In the near future, traditional laptops that do NOT covert into Tablets (to be walked around with, etc...) will cease to exist. That's why I was especially excited to test the Viewsonic PC V1100 in the 'real world'. I used it primarily to give a Seminar to a group of doctors about mobile computing, communication, and the use of presentation technologies - and it served me quite well! With 2 USB ports, a VGA plug, it was quite easy to set up the V1100 for presentation purposes: I simply plugged in the Wireless presentation remote to one USB port, keyboard and mouse to the other (the handy adaptor: USB to PS2/PS2 (keyboard/mouse) came with the unit), the VGA out to the projector, and I was ready to go. They Tablet is sufficiently fast, running Windows XP Table PC edition."

"The big downfall of the unit is the lack of 'convertibility' into a traditional laptop. Let's face it, as good as handwriting recognition can be (right now), to input any lengthy amount of data (typing reviews, etc...), we need a real, near-full-size QWERTY keyboard. Besides, most computer-inclined people type much faster and more accurately than they handwrite anyway - I know I do! Without the built-in keyboard, this unit has very limited practicality. It's like the two-seater roadster... for most people, it's can't be your ONLY car. This makes the Viewsonic V1100 only good for specific applications that require mobility and little data input, or only good as an additional unit, besides a traditional laptop/desktop/PDA."
