As for the Gateway Tablet which in reality is a convertiable notebook computer not just a tablet:

I guess I am jsut a a little hooked on the idea of being able to us the stylus to write stuff out and navigate a little on the gateway. I do agree with the fact that you can get a good amount more from Dell in terms of harware and software for the same price or cheaper. I jsut have to really fgure out if that stylus and capability on the gateway would be worth it to me and if I would use it enouigh to make it worth it. But that is what I can't figure out. They have one at Best Buy but somebody stole the stylus. I think I am goign to go back to the store or try a diffeent best buy to check it out again and get a better feel for it.

Couple mroe questions:
1) Would I see a huge difference between the celeron processor and the pentium precessor in the Gateway? Give me your thoughts.

2) Are the Dell Duo processors all that great?

3) I noticed on the dell site they have refurbished/scratch and dent/return item laptops on sale through their outlet section of the web page. I have foudn some interestign deals on that page like a E1707 (17" monitor, 1GB RAM, 100GB Hard Drive, 8X CD/DVD Burner) all for $950-$1050. Which seem like a nice deal. But I am a bit scared to purchase a computer listed as scratch and dent or refurb cause I am jsut unsure. YOu think it is a big deal?

4) On the Dell's are the keyboards hard to use? They are 13 and 12.5 inches long and that seems big but when I see the pictures it looks super small.

Like I said I am still up in the air about the Gateway convertiable notebook verses the Dell E1505 or E1707.
