I carried a netbook with me a lot; since obtaining the A500, I now carry it with me every day. The netbook is handy because it has real live Excel and Word instaled and yes, I rely on Excel a lot. However, Documents to Go handles my basic needs; if it supported graphics then it be great. There are several manals on the netbook that function perfectly; on the Acer though, the indexing features of those manuals is not available.
Overall I like the tablet because I can more easily resize the font, it is a bit more portabe and with the Bluetooth keyboard, extended entry is easier on it than the netboo. Nothing though comes close to the 17" laptop when I have lots to do.
I dont quite care about the tablet within some limits,I just want to know the specific hardware configuration in it.
