I always wanted a tablet PC, but mainly for the resistive touch. I continue to be in the silent majority that wishes Apple would add fine-point stylus support to the ipad (via resistive touch or any other technology).
IPad-style capacitive touch can be combined with a pressure-sensitive stylus.
I have a ThinkPad Tablet 2 which includes a Wacom pen. The pen is great - the sensitivity is very fine-grained and makes a big difference from finger painting. For finger use, the screen is as responsive as the iPad. (Windows 8 knows when the pen is hovering over the screen and treats it like a mouse, so you get a crosshair cursor near the tip the pen. Otherwise the cursor never appears.)
