Ok, I have had a little more time with my Tablet and have installed Visual Studio and stuff. I have an additional 512MB of ram, but I thought I would try it out with just the one 512MB at first to see how it went. I have been pleasantly surprised by the performance so far, I have not noticed alot of difference between it and the more powerful Dell that I am currently using. (This should get even better when I drop the other 512MB in)
I think the hardest thing for me to get used to has been the size of the screen, while I love the resolution, the 12" screen is a little hard to get used to. The keyboard is also a little "special", like the strange placement of the del key and the short keys on the left. I don't think I will have any problem using this tablet as my main development system, though I might find myself hooking it up to the flat panel more than I do my current one. (I wish it did have a DVI port)
(A note on accessories, I picked up the Targus external USB 2.0 DVD drive which has worked out great, I have been pleasantly surprised by the quick install times from the MSDN DVDs)
More to come as I use it more and load more crap on it.
