The convertible feature makes a nice oddity, but is not that useful in day to day life.
Highs: Nice looking; crisp LCD; tablet functionality
Lows: Bulky design; single screen swivel; some screen glare
Where to buy:
The Gateway CX200X is, as the company describes, targeted towards consumers who seek a full-featured notebook PC combined with pen input functionality. While the CX200X certainly delivers in this regard, it is extremely hampered by its bulky size and weight which make it less than desirable to cradle for too long when in tablet mode. Marks are good for performance and features however, helping to keep this convertible from the scrap heap
