I own a Compaq TC1000 and love it. It's an older machine, and very, very slow, but the form factor provides certain benefits that conventional laptops do not (i.e. you can read your morning paper the way you *used to* read your morning paper.) I also know that the library here at Loyola loans them out to students. That said, there is a certain amount of training necessary before one can begin using a tablet PC in tablet mode. And it takes a while to get used to the handwriting recognition engine (and to learn to call-up and navigate the various onscreen keyboards). Because of this, to be honest, if I were going to buy laptops for the lab, I'd probably just go with conventional clamshell designs. They're also a whole lot cheaper than most tablet-PCs.

Does anyone out there have any experience with a tablet PC lab or simply tablet PCs in a lab setting? What are the pros and cons of tablet PCs? What do you use them for? What brand and model are you using and what would you recommend? We will appreciate it very much if you can share your experience with us.
