Any affordable W7 tablets available?

[robilong]

I need a quick start, lightweight, tablet PC for running Windows 7 based topo and route maps. The idea come to me when looking to Ipad and Android, which obviously don't support these maps.
Can you suggest any such a budget friendly device? Or such just doesn't exist and one has to wait until Android or IPad will run Windows applications

Windows 7 tablets that are reasonable in size and weight, as well as reasonable in price are just not there yet, in my opinion. The hardware requirements for Windows 7 are such that it's very hard to design a tablet that matches what can be done with Android for similar functionality.

I have three Android tablets and a convertible netbook with a touch screen. My netbook has a 10" 1366x768 single touch resistive screen and runs Windows 7. The convertible part means the screen can swivel around and fold back to form a tablet-like unit. The problem is the size and weight, as well as what it cost. I expect it will take at least a year before we see a decent Windows tablet that comes close to what can be done with Android.

Bye.

I did some more googling - there are few:

or this, which seems to be less attractive because of less battery time

But, does anyone has got hold of these Chinese ones:

In China there seems to be a lot of Windows capable tablets.

Zunelli has a Windows 7 tablet-PC called WorkPad that I found useful. I had it in my test use for a while and I think it's just awesome. I'm not just sure if they are selling them quite yet.
