Sweet! I prefer my st5022 (3.5 lbs.) though (larger screen). The new B6000D (3.3 lbs.) looks good too.I really appreciate the work that Toshiba does in showing the benefits of tablets in education. There’s a lot going on in tablets with every manufacturer right now – very promising.And here I thought I’d keep mine for 4 years before buying a new oneI love the long life the large “extended” battery gives me: I kept going on battery power long after those with laptops had to move to the edges of the meeting room to find power (I had to switch batteries after 5 hours <g>)
