    They’re more portable, lighter and arguably perfect for media consumption on the go. Add a decent detachable keyboard and it’s all the computer quite a few people will ever need.

    Just depends on how you use your pc.

      Sure, but is that so important that it’s worth spending hundreds of dollars on an entirely separate device that you still have to carry and manage?

        You’re assuming that everybody that buys a tablet like this also wants/has a laptop. Many people ONLY want the tablet as a portable computer while having a more powerful desktop in their home or office

        In my case I have a tablet and a laptop, but my laptop ends up staying at home 99% of the time docked and acting as a desktop. When it comes time to replace it, I’ll just get a desktop and keep the tablet

          I see. I guess everyone I know that has a tablet also has a laptop, and carries both of them around. Makes more sense as a laptop replacement, I suppose.
