they suck. get a thinkpad x60 if you're buying new. there is the tablet version if you MUST have one. but in general avoid consumer laptops and spluge on business class (ibm/lenovo thinkpads; dell precision or.. latitude i think? just get business class. dont' fuck around with this purchase. consumer laptops have crappy battery, sucky chassis, and will crap out on you when you most need them.
i've had an ibm x30 for the past 3 years and i love it. they are the best-- so small & light to carry you won't get a nasty backache. the current model is the x60. when you have one on your hands you'll understand the meaning of "ultraportable". and then they are built like tanks-- short of the panasonic toughbook (which you can't buy unless you're in the army or mining business or something), sturdiest laptop around
