I’ve always had difficulty trying to compare AMD vs Intel chips. Recently the folks on Screensavers on "TechTV" have been raving that AMD is now the way to go bang-for-your-buck-wise.
I think the best you can hope for is to check out some of the known review sites (CNET, ZDNET, etc.) and see if they have anything that can help.
I did a quick search on Google and got the hits below.
I’ll tell you that *I’m* expecting to make the move to a tablet PC when the time comes to replace my laptop.

Thanks, the links answered all I wanted to know.
On the ‘tablet pc’, are you seeing or hearing much about them down there? I saw them (and got to try one) at a computer show in toronto about 6 months before they were launched. Then they were big news for a couple of months, and then I’ve not heard about them or actually seen one for sale since.

No, they’ve been doing a very poor job marketing them here in the States. I haven’t even seen one yet. Most of my knowledge of them is via the “G’day world” podcast and the tablet PC podcast.
I think they have definite potential but they need to become more mainstream and that means the price needs to come down (chicken or the egg issue).
I figure I’ll look at what the state of the art is for tablets when I’m ready to replace my laptop in a one or two year timeframe and decide at that point. But “inking” is exactly the kind of interface I’ve been dreaming about ever since GUI / mouse interfaces became standard. It just *seems* right.
