Need a cheap but durable tablet for college

well the cx2750 is listed on gateway as using the finepoint driver

 

That's the cx2750, The cx2755 series are just rebranded C140x's.

 

After looking at the tx2500, I've decided it's entirely worth the extra $280 I'll have to save to get it, even though the cx2756 does have Wacom.

 

be warned the tx2500's run warmer and you might want to consider a fresh install to maximize performance.

 

If you are going to pay $800 you should get a 2710p.

 

Why should I go with the 2710p? It's slightly cheaper and has a clearer screen, but it is older, less powerful, and doesn't have a touchpad or optical drive, as well as a few other things that are less important to me. I think slowness and not having a touchpad would annoy me more than having a less than perfect screen.

 

You might want to look into it further, from what i can tell from these forums the 2710p is more reliable performance wise than the TX2500z, and certainly superior in build quality.

Touchpad, i guess that would be annoying..

 

less heat generated, longer battery life...

 

After researching both those tablets I decided that neither was what I wanted, the tx2500 has far too many problems, and the 2710p is just missing too much.

I've decided that my final decision is between the Fujitsu T4220 and the T5010. I can afford either of them now, but the T5010 is at least $200 more, and I'm not sure if it's worth the price. Do you think it's worth paying extra to get the T5010?
