That is a good point, Skydrive or for that matter Google Drive will help dramatically and most things I want I can stream. The price is still a hurdle that is very large to jump.

Skydrive cannot help me at the places I would use a tablet.

Yeah, if/when I need a tablet, I'll be buying a Nexus 7 or the like instead.

Thing is, I have no need for a tablet.

I DO have need for an ultraportable PC for running REAL apps and creation/development.

I would really appreciate active digitizer (Waccom-like) on my screen for painting.

If I needed a tablet, there are lots of more portable, less expensive options. Honestly though, I've had enough of dumbed-down tablets and their limitations. Other than reading a PDF, there isn't anything for which I NEED a limited tablet. Hell, I can even read PDFs on a real PC, although the tablet form factor makes it a bit nicer.

You should have gotten the 16g version when they were blowing them out in the stores for 150. Fantastic devices they are.


That being said I think ms has a great tablet. My concern continues to be the application support

I'll get one through work and probably enjoy it for what it is - a hybrid of tablet and laptop.

I think Mags was referring to some new language that he does not approve of: A tabtop or a laplet

A very old man in a young man's body Mags is

I should get achievements for watching this~ ADDGirl

Hell, 'derail'? This is like calling the surface of the sun 'warmish'. Somewhat lacking in appropriate magnitude~ Jpublic

That's too applied for my tastes. Math makes the most sense to me when it's reality bending abstraction. Or when it's evil~ Frederec
