Re: tablet computer recommendations

We are using the Fujitsu T4220 (3 years old) and really like them. I
believe the new version is the T4410 where they have "fixed" some things
like changing the power switch from a button that was much too easily
pressed when swiveling the screen into tablet mode to a slider. We are
ordering these for the fall. We are not 1:1 though...just 16 on a cart.
Might make a difference. These might be a little heavier than some,
though not as heavy as our 15" screen laptops.

Hope this helps, feel free to contact me off list to discuss.
