This month’s Custom PC magazine includes, as usual, my regular ‘Download’ opinion editorial along with a page of news snippets culled from those written for Bit-Tech, the magazine’s online presence.

This month, I take a look at tablet PCs with a prediction that 2011 will be the year the slate-format devices hit the mainstream with a vengeance.

However, this prediction is tempered with an explanation of why I, personally, wouldn’t buy one. (Hint: how much does the iPad cost again?)

When articles are on a subject on which I am passionate, it provides me with a real impetus which – I hope – comes across in the piece and makes it an interesting read, whether or not the reader agrees or disagrees with the sentiments contained therein; or even when they’re completely ambivalent to the subject of tablet computing.
