It's a shame this company won't modify a 17" MacBook Pro into a tablet. That might handle 8.5" x 11" at full size!

Of course, you'd have to hope you're not one of the unlucky ones whose eyes get driven insane by LED flicker (when at less than 100% output). And given the cost of a 17" laptop and the conversion service, you'd also be a lot poorer.

Hm, after a slightly closer look, 17" tablet PCs of any variety do not seem to exist. That's a shame, you'd think there'd be some demand for electronically writing onto something that matched the actual size of stuff we usually write on.
