My sister owns a tx 2000, and I must say they are great tablets. she bought a tx 1000 first but the shipment had a problem with the stylus compartment, the spring got stuck, so after a little thought she paid a bit more for the tx 2000 and I was impressed with the touchscreen. It is a wacom pressure sensitive screen and it tracks the pencil before it touches the screen, so its a lot more intuitive to draw and write with. The PC itself its great, specially after downgrading to XP. Don't know the costs, since she bought it in Chile, but i don't think it has the same niche as the n800, this is a 12'' screen, full pledged laptop, and it weigths a lot less than most laptops around, but it still felt that it added too much strain on my back, after putting it in a backpack with the rest of my stuff. Still, if Ihad the money and was in the market for a laptop, this would be my first choice.
Got a tx2000 here, too; Elia hit the main points already, but it's worth noting the tx2500s are now out, so I think a tx2000 is gonna be more !/$... I got mine for 900USD at Staples (months ago).
