Summary: Good low-end first-edition Convertible Tablet PC
Review: Get ready for a fundamentally new type of notebook computer. The introduction of the Tablet PC will change and enhance the way you use your computer. While the official launch of Windows XP Tablet Edition isn't until November 7th, I located a vendor selling the new Acer convertible Tablet PC a couple of weeks ago.

I reviewed the TMC102Ti. The TMC102T simply has a few less options (Ti has built-in wireless), which I have highlighted in the specs below. The Acer TMC102Ti Tablet has impressed me beyond my wildest dreams. I must admit that I had never owned an Acer notebook prior to this purchase. And while I've heard mixed reviews of their reliability and support, I feel confident this new Tablet PC is going to hold up well. I purchased this new Acer Tablet just over two weeks ago and could not imagine going back to a normal notebook. But don't take my word for it. Read the full review and take the plunge yourself. You will not be disappointed.
