uhm right i think thats called a tabletpc. and its not really new. sorry to have to say this and distroy your euforia.

Well I haven't seen them before for personal use. It is a cool breakthrough in technology. I would buy one if I could but I am pretty content with my laptop. If you want more info. about the tablet pc go to http://www.motioncomputing.com/products/tablet_pc_le.asp

Not really a breakthrough in recent months. Yes, it's called the tablet PC, and it actually comes in another flavor. What you are referring to is the convertible tablet. These are, as you said, laptops with fold over and touch screens. The other kind is the slate, which (if you think about it) is a computer inside a monitor, and are more expensive (as far as I know).
