Ok I have had my ASUS 700 for a week and love it. Docking station hasn't arrived yet but the tablet itself is fun.

That said:

What a tablet does, it does very very well. Reading PDF books ( or others ), various music apps for transposing etc, games, web browsing, Pluralsight tutorials, HBO GO, Netflx. All wonderful.

But it's not a computer, it is a bumped up cell phone ( albeit without the ability to make phone calls :-) This is not something you own *instead of* a real PC unless you really never needed a real PC to begin with. This is a consumer toy which can be adapted to certain very specialized productivity uses.

I could easily picture a hybrid where the docking station was big and powerful enough to do real work ( 8 gb, genuine multitask operating system, multi gig storage that does't require a cloud with up/down speeds you'd never tolerate in a HD ) and a touch-screen detachable as tablet with its own mobile OS, mem and storage so you could use it either way. Lots of possibilities there.

But any nonsense about how these tablets that are considered state of the art today - iPad 3 and this thing - threaten laptops or desktops ( though undoubtedly they will outstrip in sales ) is silly. As to writing software for that market - not creating extensions of real business apps for clients but consumer products that sell for $1 to $5 - if that is your idea of fun you're welcome to it, but I don't think it is a good way to get rich - or even move out of your parents' basement.
