Okay, so I've been doing some research on laptops, and really want a tablet PC. But, I'm stuck between two choices.

Also, does anyone know of any other decent but cheap tablet PCs?

Looking at the specs, you can see what I mean. Both are great machines. Keep in mind, I need a good PC in terms of hardware, and I want to be able to do art on it by drawing on screen.

Any help is great, thanks!

Go to the "What Tablet PC Should I Buy" forum section, and create a new thread, filling out the provided guideline in the FAQ sticky. The people there are quite helpful and usually respond relatively quickly.

But from what I hear, HP tablets can get quite hot, and some have poor build quality in certain sections (can't remember where).

Only bad thing I've heard about Gateway is that they are heavy (because of their 14" screen).
