I have a similar laptop, the ASUS EeePC subnotebook. I do not find these laptops very useful for day to day activity. I got one for my daughter (4yrs old) and it works for her. I would not use such a device for everyday EMR work.
The specs are probably fine for using AC as a single application but multitasking will hurt since it is a single core processor. These subnotebooks are high tech toys that people can run around with at the airport or at the park because of their ultra low weight and good battery life. They work great for browsing and email but more that that you will suffer. An actual useful computer at the same weight and battery life would cost around $2-3000 (like the Apple airbook). I would recommend that you not deploy this particular category of computers into a work production environment.
Did I mention working with such a small screen sucks.
Your biggest problem with using the HP tablet is the usage of AMD processors. They tend to run hotter than the equivalent intel processor. I would recommend that you purchase a tablet computer with an intel processor. They tend to be very portable and have good battery life. I currently have an x61 Lenovo that works well but a new model is forthcoming next month so I would wait if possible.
I also have an HP tx1000 tablet, is this the tablet line you are referring to. This is probably one of the biggest disappointments in my history of using and purchasing computers. It runs hot and the battery life is poor. I would not recommend the use of the consumer version of this laptop to anyone for an EMR. It is a good entertainment platform, the platform for which it is designed but for business I would pass on it for something better.
