:: if it’s integrated into a larger primary computer system ala the pads used in Star Trek. ::
Only that on Star Trek, they didn’t call it “The Cloud”.
I don’t like the idea of my information being in a ‘cloud’ either, but was thinking more along the lines of a central home computing system instead.
The thing is this: I have a newer laptop with a Core i7 processor, that has much more horsepower than any tablet on the market. I can crunch and edit large photos/video for at least an hour on the battery, while it’s powering a USB hard drive. You just can’t get that performance out of a tablet.
