My Tablet
I Love My Tablet PC!
I spent a lot of time researching and comparing when it came time to pick the tablet for me. It's a often a big investment and a product that will hopefully travel with you along your journey of college and possible graduate school. I know for a fact many dental schools have entire dental programs that run around these units so getting acquainted with them early is on a huge advantage. Well after the excel spreadsheets, the side my side comparisons and reading numerous reviews I decided that Lenovo's (which now owns the IBM ThinPad division and name) was the clear winner. When I have time I plan to also talk about the other models I was looking at but for now I will just list the features that ultimately led me to my decisions as well as some of the disadvantages that are associated with it. After all no tablet is perfect.
