Having a laptop AND a tablet is stupid.

Tell that to those of us who need an i7-powered monster power-sucking laptop to do our jobs. Some of us need serious horsepower from our laptops but also want the portability of a tablet.

Not everyone has the same needs as you.

The lenovo yoga is all those things and a tablet; plus its super thin and light.

And it won't be a very good tablet at 3.5 lbs. and a 13" screen. Yeah, that's something I want to hold in my hands for more than a few minutes at a time.

Besides, I need a laptop with a screen larger than 13". Again, your statement fails because not everybody needs the same things in a computer/tablet. In a laptop, I need a desktop replacement. A screen no smaller than 15", a top of the line processor with dedicated graphics card, and the ability to swap HDDs/externals/whatever. It needs to be a full-fledged computer or it won't work for me. For a tablet, I just need something that browses, checks email, and runs basic apps. In my world, those two devices are best left separate because the device is either going to be too heavy/big/power hungry or it's going to be underpowered/too small.

Not to mention that the Yoga isn't going to be released for six more months.
