Default New tablet pc for college?
My friend's kid is going off to college this fall and they tell him he needs a tablet pc. I am not in the know about the tablet pc. Can anyone make some recommendations. He has between 2-4k to spend on it and software. Thanks.

I'd say Laptop would be better off... If so a Dell Vostro is a good choice.

Sorry I couldn't be more help with Tablet PC

wait till they put the penryn chips in a tablet, tablets are still pretty slow compared to laptops.
