“Microsoft isn’t thinking things through, they have a core advantage at the Desktop, which is still by far the biggest market, they are willing to sacrifice that to pursue this pipedream of catching Apple in the Tablet market...not gonna work.”

You still don't get it do ya?
Windows 8 on Intel is both a tablet and a desktop. They are sacrificing nothing. Watch this video of the Acer Iconia W510 Windows 8 tablet/Desktop :

Well, it certainly looks cool. But does it do anything productive?

In my experience for entertainment and social apps, the i* and Android based products win hands down but to do any serious work I still need my Wintel computers.

This is a perfect solution for on-the-go business people —covering presentations and productivity. Looks great too. Tablet AND laptop for the price of a laptop. Nice.

At first glance, this looks like a Kraken.

Aw MAN! How cool is that! Laptop and tablet in one unit. I HATE being on a tablet because there is no keyboard, and it won't do 'real productivity' things very comfortably... But I love a tablet for social/net type stuff, tho I am always worried about the unprotected nature of it's design... This is the best of both worlds! If it has anything approaching real power in 'laptop mode', I guarantee you I will be owning that thing.

Thx for the headsup!
