In summary, the conversation revolves around the speaker's search for a PC with a small size and touch screen capability. They mention considering a tablet PC but express uncertainty due to mixed reviews. A suggestion to go with a traditional laptop is made, along with recommendations for review sources. The conversation ends with a recommendation to decide on specific needs before choosing a platform. There is also discussion about the reliability and bias of different review sources.

Basically what I'm looking for is a PC with minuscule footprint and a touch screen. I might go for a tablet PC but the reviews on them are not very decisive. Any suggestions are welcome...

You'll end up getting a tablet if you want touch screen.

You'll have to be more specific.

Don't base too much off of CNet. They are horribly biased.

When I go shopping for notebooks, I always look at: http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,114734,00.asp

Who isn't biased? CNet is a fine resource, provided you take it with a grain of salt. Your best bet is to decide what hardware you want, find a few devices that meet your requirements, and then search for at least 3 reviews of each one by SEPARATE sources.

As far as deciding between what platform to use, I recommend deciding on exactly what you want to be able to use it for. Examples:
Note taking
Internet browsing
E-mail
Games (simple)
Games (3-D)
Graphic Design
Programming
Scheduling
etc.

Tell us what you want to do with it and we'll recommend what "it" should be ;)

Who isn't biased?

Some sites are more/less biased than others. CNet has a reputation for being biased.

MacAddict has a heavy reputation for being biased towards Mac products. If you want a review on the latest Apple Computer - look elsewhere.
