I agree with some of you.
I have a 10' HP Touchsmart tm2 notebook that can be put in tablet mode. It has Windows 7 and a capacitive touchscreen and...
- It's heavy
- It's thick (but has a keyboard that comes in handy for heavy jobs.)
- The screen is not IPS (bad viewing angles and not so readable in sunlight as an iPad)
- The battery only lasts for 5 hours of intensive use
So, this system is not ideal as it is now.But 5hours is enough for me, it is very fast, responsive and quite astonishingly, very user friendly. It also supports gestures and long presses (=right click) lets you do things in a less "twisted" way that with the GUI of iOS devices. I would never have believed that Windows could behave so well in tablet mode. Android has an even better GUI in my opinion, but I need more powerfull applications. Editing spreadsheets and word documents is way too tricky on the current non-windows tablets.
Without the physical keyboard/touchpad and an SSD instead of HDD, and less physical ports,... it would probably become the perfectmobile device for me.
I own an iPad2 which is very good at giving you a feeling of smoothness with all it's fancy transition animations (zoom/fade) ... It keeps your eyes busy while you wait...but you do wait a lot and the gui's are not very intuitive after all + all apps look the same and are quite limited.
