I think what the OP is illustrating is that the iPad must be docked in a real computer to do many of the things people need to do. The Surface is a real computer. It's a tablet and a PC at the same time. The surface isn't limited by anything, it's a PC when you need a PC and a tablet when you want a tablet.


this is the main reason i have yet to get a tablet. I dont want a gimped pc in my hands, I want a real pc in my hands.

 

But at the same time my girlfirend has never needed to connect her samsung tablet to my pc for anything and my mom has never had to connect her kindle. So its hard to say, the tablets can a lot of stuff for a lot of people, but they aren't quit good enough for me yet. I am hoping windows 8 changes this and i can replace my desktop with a high end tablet.
