The only tablet I would like to see is the discovery project tablet AMD made. I told them if they ever "lost" one I would be much appreciative...LOL!
Yeah that did look nice. I think AMD Mullins looks about the best fit for tablets right now. Sadly it looks destined to be bunged into bargain basement, under specified net books, rather than in a nice sleek tablet with a good quality screen *and* a decent battery.
This is the problem, many of the AMD A8 / A10 APU's would have been superb basis for decent laptops with a nice combination of gfx and cpu power (when you consider most laptops now are using the dual core ULV Intel parts), however all the offerings available are stuck with 768p screens, mechanical hard drives, single channel memory and pathetic speakers. It doesn't help that the kind of people working in computer shops in the UK don't know what they're talking about, and will blindly recommend inferior Intel products over AMD because 'its a better brand'... Ok AMD kit isn't the fastest at the top end, but if you have two £400 15" laptops, one has been built around an Atom (stupid but so many OEMs do this) and the other has an A8, and the guy recommends the Atom machine....
That does not just happen in the UK, it is here in the US as well...sadly...some people are just morons.
