And two screens that are no less than 24" each. That better be an SSD, too.When a tablet comes with a mechanical keyboard, an SD slot, 500GB+ drive, and a mouse, I'm all in.
I prefer it. I'd much rather be lounging comfortably on the couch, in bed, or outside while doing all those things than at a desk.
That Surface Pro 3 is looking pretty sweet. May look into getting one of those since it would be a nice way to bridge the gap between my desktop and my tablet/phone.

the best buy ceo said a few days ago that tablet sales are crashing. once people have a tablet and see how much they dont use it they dont buy the next generation. i dont think tablets will ever totally replace desktops, they are too limited in terms of computing power, battery life and screen size. also the high cost of data has made tablets not that much more convenient than a laptop. for tablets to really replace pc's youd have to have fast intel chips and nearly unlimited data

When a phone/tablet can perform real time ray tracing at 16K resolution and 240 frames a second.i stopped played games so i use my desktop for:
1) web surfing
2) word/excel
the limiting factor for my phone is the screen size.
i have the Droid which is 854x480.
the best bang for the buck tablet (~$100) in terms of screen size is the Nexus 7 (1900x1200).
but the limiting factor for the Nexus 7 (1900 x 1200) is that there's no microSD slot.
(what idiot approved of a no microSD slot design?!)
other phones/tablets that has good specs costs as much as a desktop.
so i guess for me is to wait for the 3rd gen Nexus 7 where they hopefully will include a SD slot.
How about you?
Just give me my damn keyboard, mouse, and big screen.
I don't care what the actual computer part looks like as long as it's quiet, small, and easily serviceable -- I have none of these right now, even the last one because my case is so cramped.
I don't know why people are so interested in seeing their favorite computing platform replace the rest. There is no perfect tool for all needs.
laptops are better in bed for watching things. i need an acute angle between the screen and my chest in order to see it well, and you can't do that with a tablet stand. laptop? no problem.
edit: is that typecover actually mechanical?
