Seriously thinking about buying a graphics tablet PC; a little help?

I have a Fujitsu T4220, it was a requirement for the college of engineering when I came to school. It is a decent computer, and eventhough it is 3 years old, it is a still not too far from the top of the line. I am running Windows XP Tablet edition 32 bit with 4 GB of ram (it only recognizes 3.2 G though).

I used it for everything my first semester and it was great, but by the beginning of my second year the battery wouldn't last 10 minutes. I could use microsoft offics's onenote for all of my notes, it allowed me to be as organized as I desired and I could import powerpoint slides or print pdf's to it and they would should up in a notebook, you can also write on powerpoint slides directly. I also have a program that allows me to annotate pdf's and the resave the pdf. As for writing it is a lot like writing on never ending paper, albeit slipery paper.

Overall, it is a great computer for note taking. I think it is a wonderful teaching tool for teachers, esspecially if they use powerpoint slides. However, I would not buy it again, due to the not so great battery and the high price ($2000), I could have replaved the battery but that was a little too pricey for me at the time. I believe that you can buy tablet for a little less now, but still significantly higher than a regular notebook built with the same specs.

If you have any particular questions about a tablet, I can probably answer them.
