I have looked at a number of tablets and am leaning to the Acer Iconia Tab w500 with the removable keyboard. It has an AMD c-50 dual core processor as opposed to the Atom processor. I can load Android software on a flash drive and have the tablet boot from that if I wish and then I have the best of both worlds.
Any one else using a tab?

I've been using ThinkPads for years now, and have been very happy with them. None of them is a "slate" tablet, though. No removable keyboards on these babies.
Honestly, it all depends on what you're going to use it for...
Panasonic makes some *really* cool slate tablets but the prices are atrocious as for everything else PC-related that comes from them...
No experience with Acer whatsoever and would love to hear an update if you end up buying it and using it for some time...

It just depends on what you want. I have an iPad that works great for what I need. Its not a replacement for my laptop, but rather an add on.

Well I bought an Asus Transformer with docking station. I love it. Now I am still looking for a Windows 7 tablet. I am still leaning towards the Acer Iconia w500. Any one using a Win Pad yet?

I ordered the W500 from Amazon.com. They are the actual seller. I will let you know how it goes even if you don't want to know.

I like it...really nice tablet. The touch screen takes a bit of getting used to compared to a Droid tablet. Double "clicking". It has pen capability and a lot of other features. Not bad at all. It looks good in its leather case.
