Have you considered a Tablet PC with a remote keyboard?

I’m in the market for a new “productivity” device, and I am currently looking at the iPad 2 with the remote bluetooth KB. Easy to use, light, portable.

If it helps, I bought my daughter a Vostro1000 4 years ago and has been a great machine for her. She runs it morning to night with Adobe stuff (in college for Graphics Design). I purchased the Vostro on the business side and it has a titanium frame inside. Just replaced the battery through New Egg last spring.

One more thing, I bought it during Dell's “Black Friday Sale” and saved 40% on the price. So if you can hold off a little bit I'd buy it then.

iPad and others like it, are generally not “Tablet PC”. They are Tablets. Tablet PC are basically a full on laptop with a rotating or flip down screen on which you can write. More specifically they use a hardware layer, and Tablets don’t.
