Joey,
I've got an M4 running XSI (1.5GB RAM, 1.86Ghz, Geforce6600 128MB). It's
running XSI fine. No glitches or anything. But it's slower to start the
laptop than my old Dell Inspiron 8600 (with a 1.7Ghz, 1.5GB RAM and
Geforce5650 128MB) due to all the "tablet" services that WinXP needs.
When it's started, it's about the same speed though.
If you're into Photoshop, you'll find the tablet to be lagging compared
to normal Wacom Intuos which is sad but you'll be amazed by Alias's
Sketchbook Pro2 (the best 99$ you'll invest with this tablet!).
Just a little quirk, that laptop does not have a COM port so you'll have
to make sure you're either connected to a license server or have a USB
dongle to run XSI.

I'm interested in folk's opinions on this as well, but I'd also like to
know if anyone has any comments on a convertible Laptop/Tablet which
they have found useful. Toshiba's M4 seems real nice and highly
configurable, but pricy compared to other laptops with similar features
exluding tablet. There are several smaller models from HP and Toshiba
which are half the price which will handle 2D apps quite nicely, but no
guarantee how 3D apps might work on them. Any recommendations would be
welcome.
