Kinda cool really. Good offering. Noticed the price isn't mentioned. Hope it's positive; Consumer favorable. If something like this is priced where it should be, it could really take off.

(hint,hint Gigabyte). ;)

There is something about this article......

I think it's funny how they seem to stray away from the word "tablet" and use "swivel notebook". When in-fact this is a REAL tablet computer. Tablets have been around since the early 90s. And a little fun fact: IBM created the first ever tablet computer in 1992. It also didn't have a keyboard. IBM has had a lot of "firsts" in the industry.

I also find it funny how they tout this as a 3-1 computer because it's a notebook, tablet, and can be put on a docking station. Umm, a lot of notebooks can be put on a docking station.

So, I find nothing special about this tablet. Maybe it's just me......

It looks neat. :L

Something I could use at college to take down diagrams with as well as type. And it's a computer as well not running some stupid tablet OS which isn't very useful when your college is teaching with Windows software (VMWare, Visio, Office 2007/2010, Server etc..).

Plus if it has an accelerometer in it, I could also use it for Algodoo. :D

I actually have the T1125, it is a nice little laptop and the touchscreen makes working easier.
The reason I got it was for the 3 in 1 aspect - the difference with the docking station is it is vertical and the screen can face out like a portrait style monitor. I keep a mini keyboard plugged into the dock with HDMI going to the TV so it acts as an HTPC. I don't use it as a tablet as it is too heavy.
