Simple answer is no. This death of the PC talk is foolish...tablets are horrible for productivity. I have the original Asus Transformer with the keyboard attachment...it is in no way a replacement for my desktop/laptop experience.
I for one prefer non-Apple products because I like to “tinker” and “modify”. Apple’s closed systems don’t give me the flexibility I like in this area. Apple makes a fine product. I’ve got nothing against them or the iPad. But some Apple fans need to put down the Kool-Aid...
That’s because a tablet isn’t really meant to be optimized for productivity. It’s a multimedia device. That’s its niche.
With a tablet, I can make use of media wherever I go. It definitely beats a laptop in that respect.
Consumers vs producers, which market to go after, tough decision.
Apple makes more on the iPhone and tablets than it does anything else. Both items are for consumption not creation.
