I use my tablet 100% as a tablet, in fact I would have preferred a slate but alas our company felt convertibles to be a better bet….

My view is convertibles are what have slowed tablet use, people with them generally plan to use as a tablet but never find the time to stop using it as a laptop! Another barrier is people thinking hand writing must be converted to text!

I’m using an x41 with 16b Ramrunning vista 32 with a ready boostSD card. I work daily on a docking Station at my desk undocking for meetings and going to sleep mode when I leave for home. I generally login from scratch about once every couple of weeks.

Toshiba M200
99% Ink for me, mostly OneNote 2007

Next tablet will definitely be a full slate.

Motion m1300 – 100% as a tablet – I haven’t plugged in the keyboard for a year. I do use a desktop for large document creation. I am thinking of going UMPC to cut down on weight and size but I’m scared by the vectoring issues.

I use it in tablet mode when meeting with people one to one. Less intrusive, and there is no barrier between us. In bigger meetings, I usually type, but every so often use ink.

Overall, about 1/3 of the time tablet, 2/3 of the time typing.

I’ve had my tablet to a couple of months and almost never use the keyboard. Inse One Note, Mind Manager and, of course, Ms office Products.

I own a Gateway M275 tablet and a ASUS R2H. I use the Gateway as a tablet all day at work where I do a lot of customer support and ordering by phone. At the begining of each day I time and date stamp the page so I know where each day begins and ends I also have set up several pages for my bigger accounts and vendors. I find this to be a great way to take notes from phone calls and when my boss just starts giving out task with out looking at you. So I would say I use it as a tablet 95% of the time at work.

95% as tablet in graduate school setting
5% as laptop in general use

I hardly ever use my handtop as a Tablet, even though I’ve enabled the Tablet Features under Vista. The reasons are fairly simple: Even on the built-in keyboard, I can usually type faster and more accurately than handwriting recognition affords. When I do use the screen, it’s selecting, scrolling, and other digitizer-related functions. It’s faster to tap the screen than to move the cursor with the track-stick.

When I had my NEC tablet I used it 90% of the time in ink mode. Unfortunately it snapped in half and I ended buying the Samsung. I should have done my research before clicking on the Woot deal because the touch screen makes it almost completely useless to me for taking notes with all the vectoring problems. Now I’ve gone back to using a paper legal pad and I carry the Samsung with me a mini computer (touch screen is nice)

70% keyboard, 30% tablet.
It’s still tough to spreadsheets and ERP work in tablet mode, but when it comes to meetings, ink rocks!

Toshiba m400.
About 95% tablet. The rest keyboard. I mainly use keyboard for writing in word, but just when it’s a veeery long wirting (10 pages or more, for example), and this just if I am in my desk. If I am watching tv or the same, I use pen to input even that long writings. A little slower but anyway very more comfortable.

I Like to add that I come from Spain, and input with pen in my language is not as good recognized (even in Vista) that is English Language, but even so is a very good experience, so I think if English was my natural language I would be all the day in slate mode.

Lenovo x60 Tablet

About 30% Tablet, a good portion of that OneNote; 70% keyboard.

But I wouldn’t give up that 30% for the world!!!

R2H: 99% of the time

I only use it for inking or for precise taps. All my navigation is finger-based.

Motion LE1700

Its a slate so when Im mobile its always in tablet mode. But when Im home its in the cradle with a keyboard

It’d be interesting to find out of those people who use the TIP for input, the percentage of people using Keyboard, Writing, or Character Pad.

For people with a touchscreen, how many use their finger and those who use the stylus.

For people who like keyboards, the percentage who use a touchpad, touchscreen, tracker pointer for mouse control.

For slate tablet users, if that is their only device and never, ever, use a keyboard. Only the TIP. Wonder how many of those are out there.
