Can Anyone Recommend a Tablet PC?

A friend of mine is looking for a reliable tablet that covers the basics and is cheaper than the ipad.  I am also curious of anyone's expereince successfully intergrating one of the newer models into a the chain of a nice headphone rig.  So far he is looking at this one because of the alluring price:

It doesn't appear to have a dedicated USB slot which might nix it as a good transport.  Any other options anyone can recommend?

Tablet PCs are my forte...

 

...not media slates, though, which are what you're looking into.

 

Since you're looking at possibly integrating one into a headphone rig with a USB DAC, I'm not sure how those react to non-Windows OSes. To be on the safe side, that leaves a few options...with a common problem.

 

The problem? If you want them cheaper than an iPad, then you're not going to be able to input with just your bare fingers. Not an issue for me, but I'm using them as pen-and-paper replacements to begin with, not just a casual computing device.

 

Maybe if you asked over at Tablet PC Review, you'd get more assistance.

...I somehow still don't think it's right for me to just straight-up recommend an HP 2730p or Fujitsu T5010 used from eBay as I usually do, if only because you can't use them with finger touch and nothing you mentioned really benefits from pen input.

 

I suggest asking here. You'll get more suitable recommendations.
