What's the big deal about tablets? Do users other than serious graphic/art people really get much use out of it?

I suppose it would be nice to take notes on one. (Specifically drawing graphics and diagrams)

Doesn't it get tiring though writing notes for 3 hours on a LCD and not paper(I tend to press hard when I write too)

@andrew Ditto! Who is this “macintosh” fellow, anyway? :-)

i don’t like to be nit-picky, but this one is really bothering me. macintosh does not make anything. saying “macintosh makes a lot of wonderful pieces of technology” is like saying “windows makes a lot of good operating systems”.

@pascal, the reason some people don’t want to buy a Leveno is because it is a PC that runs Windows. And seeing as Cintique tablets are SO expensive some people want the best of both worlds. So, since Apple doesn’t make a tablet and the ModBook is expensive, why not just turn you old computer into a tablet! Some people need (or at least really really want) Mac OS X, so that is why they don’t buy a PC tablet.

this is one hack I don’t get — how could anybody spend $2500 on the modbook when Lenovo sells the X61 tablet at ~half the price? and frankly there is no big difference between a cintiq and a tablet pc: no pen-id, no angular measurement. most people don’t need it anyway… and since modern macs are x86-based, there’s nothing left special about them (and illustrator/photoshop runs on windows, oh and there’s that funny OS they give away for free that also works quite nice with tablets. no slates though, all available handwriting-recognition-systems except the one in windows are unusable.)
