As a gamer, I still have no idea why I would want this over any if it's competitors, or why would I want it over a PSV, am I missing something?
Why is this a big deal, it's just a tablet right? That's serious question, I have not formed an opinion.

Is your PC literally only used for "core" (my emphasis) gaming? As such, then no portable device is probably justified to you as they don't do that.. yet.
As a general purpose laptop/tablet this is perfect. Especially with its obvious eventual massive integration with a desktop PC and for those with Xbox.

Does it take in CD's and DVD's?
|
for what purpose....??? i haven't used a cd or a dvd beside xbox video games in a decade....
|
You know for CD based programs, etc?
|
every pc game or piece of software are available digitally.... sometime even for cheaper.... I mean cd and dvd are terrible storage solution.... drives take room battery power and produce heat.... for new ultra portable device you are better off to have SD cards or USB storage solution... it makes more sens.... cd and dvd are the 21st century floppy disk... by 2020 the only place you'll find one is on desktops and mostly because companies will need for old cd or dvd they still have....
but if people really want one you can find cd dvd rw combo external for 20 bucks or so.... so really a non issue here.... i almost bought one the other day thought about it for 10 min and realized i have no disc to put in (beside the couple dvds i never watch anymore) instead i'm gonna get that http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=740
i seriously wonder why people keep buying productivity software on dvd or cd when you can have all of them on a single storage device.... do people really love the office or creative suite box art that much???

The same reason people would rather buy disc based games. True ownership.
|
?? i have true ownership.... i have the iso and the licence number/code of all my productivity software.... that's why i was asking.... i see the use for other stuff you don't actually get on your hdd... but i can reinstall everything offline without a cd.... and even if you buy a soft in cd only you are better off putting an iso on a hdd for safety... that's why i asked for what purpose... cd dvd is a poor way to save anything...
plus on 32 or 64gb arm tablet and even on 128gb pc.... you are probably not gonna install a gazillion soft... just because of the space limitation... so once again putting a drive in there is just a waste of space energy and money... i doubt many people will use them as main computer... so once again even with cd or dvd only you are better off with a private cloud on witch you drop your iso's most router can get a networked hdd now... the one i'm gonna get is remotly accessible... so i could even deploy software i copied on there on other device without being in the LAN...
don't get me wrong i see your point... but on such device not really...
