I recently traveled to China with my tablet and really liked it. First it is smaller tha a laptop and i carried it everywhere. I dl some apps for Chinese translation and dictonary to help in communicating. Also i had photos to share and music to listen to as well as games to play on the flights over and back.
I did initially have some problems with email and internet because China's hotels are mostly wired internet. I had to rely on friends wireless or internet cafes to keep in touch.
(On that note, anyone have a suggestion for a hot spot device to connect to hotel ethernet connections?)
Skype worked well and i put $10 into my skype account so i could call any phone. That was cheap and usefull.
I will be going back to China in a few months and would like any suggestions in carrying it with me. This last trip was in winter so i had an inner pocket sewed into my coat, which worked well. This next trip will be in summer.
I would recommend a tablet pc for travel. Lots of helpful apps, small in size, helps you stay in touch and keeps you entertained.
 
Interesting report, will be interested to see if there are any suggestions re the HotSpot question.
