I thought it was just "what happened" that stayed in Vegas? You mean gadgets stay there too? Oh my!

I still think you shouldn't bring anything. Well, maybe a cell phone.
Unless you plan on sitting in the hotel a lot, most of the time, it's a lot of walking around.
Plus, Vegas is a place you leave stuff behind.

BTW, I will be at the Luxor in Vegas, anybody local who wants to come by and have a coffee email me and we'll give it a go. :)

No more waffling, here's what I am taking with me:

2710p
Ultra-slim battery
Standard A/C adapter
Verizon ExpressCard EVDO modem

That's it!

OK so now that you are done waffling over which tablet to take, do we now move on to:
Slim standard battery only
Slim standard + slim extended?
Slim dock?
A/C charger or test battery life "on the road"?
EVDO card or leave it and go to Starbucks?

vm-01, please note that the TX1000 is a good entertainment notebook but a lousy mobile device as it's big and heavy. It also has the worst inking (Tablet PC) experience of any device I have ever used.

On the one side I'm bothered because you again show that you have a stable of tablets while I only have a Q1.

On the other hand I just installed Vista on it and I'm thinking about getting a TX1000 sometime in the future. Your blogging about your travel experience will help me with both situations.

So have a nice trip and keep those posts a-coming.

Ok well I was planning on asking you what I should be looking for in my next tablet PC...

But looks like you aren't the right person to ask. I think you're *pretty* close to being just as indecisive as me. Nearly... But not quite haha :D

On the plus side of things though, you learn to be very very good at dealing with many things at once.
