Windows and Android are both doing great. I can't wait to see Android become more like a desktop OS and see Windows become more like a mobile OS!

Damn, I'm really excited for these touch laptops with Windows 8. If only I had enough money to get one when they are released...

if apple was asus rite now they would probably sue almost all the companies that are making "transformer like" tablets (tablets connecting the keyboard as docks).

The Sony VAIO Duo 11 looks really good, but the SSD instead of HDD is really going to raise the price up.

Isn't the whole purpose of having a tablet not to have a keypad, I mean I might as well be carrying around a laptop, lol

I've been wondering why these tablet/Hybrids are not having the same amount of storage as current laptops? 250GB to 320GB hard drives should be standard if they're trying to have these replace current laptops.

Its the HDD vs SSD thing. Solid state drives are newer and more efficient than the older Hard Disk Drives. They don't have a disk that spins its more like a giant flash drive that transfers data but at a much higher rate than a standard flash drive. But since they are new and more efficient Solid State Drives are also more expensive. I believe a 250Gb Solid State Drive sells for around 250 bucks and a Hard Disk Drive of the same capacity sells for around 50 bucks. Big difference in price. So essentially if this response was tl;dr type of material it comes down to price. Where Solid State Drives cost more than Hard Disk Drives. And tablets and ultrabooks carry solid state drives

I don't have a good experience with Atom processors. I already have HP slate 500 and it is I have to admit one of the slowest tablets.
The 32nm Atom chip powering the slate looks enough for serious tablet productivity, and it’s paired with a hefty 2GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.
The Vivo Tab is among the heavier slates weighing around 1.49 pounds (675 grams), but really thin at just 8.7mm.
