[citation][nom]runswindows95[/nom]Actually, I've never messed with a tablet. I spend all day writing. I deal with Word and PDF files all day, and some are over 100 pages. So, until a tablet can run dual 24" 1920X1200 monitors in pivot mode, I'm sticking to a PC.[/citation]
you are talking about now useing a computer which can handle 2 screens (not sure if integrated will do that)
a bare minimum computer would be what 300-400$, add on the cheapest lcd i can find at 1920x1200 is 250$ and you want 2, that brings it to at least a 900$ setup you are talking about.
now lets just go ipad for this, the newest ones have a resolution of 2048x1536 so if you were talking about how clean you want it to look, ipad has you there and if you dont need to have 2 pages at once, gives you over all a higher definition.
you also cant take that dual 24 inch monitor setup anywhere you go, while ipad you really can if you want to. granted i wouldn't buy still. if you want to talk just pdf and reading, the ipad can do that, i believe...
now when you talk about writing, yea, tablets blow at that, but get a blue tooth keyboard, and than they become fairly good, and i know there is a microsoft office for ipad, don't know how good it is, but just writing i'm sure it would be fine.
you are looking at this as someone who is replacing a pc with a tablet, when you should be coming at it from an "i have a tablet and i want a good case for it" point of view.
and i look at it from a what if they made this for a sub 250$ tablet. im also looking at future possibilities if this takes off. it could add exturnal batteries to make it last longer, have an external hdd for added media (not apps or anything, but media like your files pictures and video) or even if they added a bluray or dvd player to it at some point, as many tablets can output 720-1080p
