Some people wanted to know what tablet I went with and how I liked it so here's a quick run down. By the way, you can swing by my blog to see it in action for the first time. Ignore my lacy shirt. [link]
I bought
Fujitsu Stylistic ST511

I was strongly considering the Dell Latitude XT2 but they use an N-Trig digitizer which apparently has some issues with Photoshop. So beware that particular tablet. You want to get one that is Wacom Penabled.

Screen
Beyond that, the major reason I purchased this particular one was because my top priority was having a screen that was very good with handling glare. I did not want to trust in using ant-glare screen protectors.I'm pretty happy with the screens ability to be read in a variety of conditions although the color is noticeable less vibrant than most screens. I can't say I'd recommend starting a full color piece of art from scratch on it as your colors probably won't be very accurate. I have opened pieces started on my main comp though and since it's mostly color picking from existing color, things seem to go okay. I was able to use my tablet in a car on a sunny day without any problems with glare whatsoever which I found surprising considering my experience with other laptops.The screen is a bit small at 10.4in. Get out a ruler to realize how small that is.This is probably the first front-lit screen I've seen. This creates a distance between the pen surface and the actual display. Meaning that even on a screen this small, you getsome parallax towards the corners.

Comfort
The tablet is super light at a little over 3.5 pounds with the larger battery and is very thin. It's very comfortable to sit this in your lap or stand and draw on it. For more comfort working while standing, I got the harsh environment case which has hand straps on the back as well as a couple of hooks for attached strips so you can sling it in front of yourself. The harsh environment case makes it difficult to hit a couple of the limited number of buttons on the tablet. One button can be pressed to flip the screen orientation between horizontal and vertical but you will need to have the screen orientation horizontal when initially installing graphics programs. Most of the buttons are pretty useless and you won't find yourself using them too often.

The tablet does not have a keyboard so basically when you click on a field to input text a display comes up where you can write naturally and it will translate to text or you can fill in blanks with text or you can tap out letters on an onscreen keyboard. The program seems pretty good at translating writing to text so it really hasn't been a big drawback for me and was certainly worth the portability.

Pen
The pen is smaller than the normal Wacom pen which is fine by me. I found it best to set the front of the barrel button to right click and the back to alt for color picking. Worked great for drawing from life. Desperately wanted my F,tab,ctrl+z, and shift buttons though for other work.The pen can be tethered to the tablet or just slides into a slot.

Battery
My only real desire as far as battery life was that it make it through 3 hr figure drawing sessions at full screen brightness. It appears that it could go 5 hrs with doing nothing but working in photoshop. Could be a problem if you're hoping to use this as your primary computer for 9to5 artwork job but I'm just using it for extended car rides, waiting to get car serviced, visiting relatives during the weekend, etc. If you wanted to use it as your main computer though, you could just buy another battery. The Stylistic has an internal battery that lasts 5 minutes so that you can pop out your current battery while you work and replace it with another without missing a beat.

Other stuff
Only one mic and it picks up background noise. I thought there was a Stylistic model with a microphone array that filters out background noise. Apparently I didn't get it.

You can also get a fingerprint reader so that you don't have to bring up the keyboard when entering your password for sites (I think). I didn't get it.

I did not get a docking station because they are absurdly expensive. You could buy a super cheap computer for what they charge. I managed to purchase an external DVD-RW/CD-RW drive for $25 that solves the only reason I'd even get a dock. You'll need an external optical drive for installing programs if you bought them on disc. I tried to create a network with a shared optical drive from my main computer and Photoshop would not install.

In conclusion
Pros
-Can be used in a variety of conditions, especially with an Otterbox or Harsh Environment Case.
-Good digitizer and pen
-Very comfortable to use.
-Good battery and battery options.
-I don't have to scan my figure drawings any more.
Cons
-Poor color contrast.
-Not a RAM powerhouse with a max of 4GB (enough for me though) and without Vista 64 it's more like 3.24GB.
-Max hard drive size of 120GB

Buyer tip: If you're going to buy this, do an internet search for coupons. It appears Fujitsu allows you to apply multiple coupon codes and I was able to take %10 off and extend my manufacturer's warranty by two years with coupons.
