But I think it is designed to do that, I feel it is meant to bridge the gap between a tablet and a laptop, it is meant to mean that you don't need a tablet and an iPad, but maybe it is just me that feels that way? It is certainly what I would be looking for in a device if I was going to spend well over £500

If you look at the ads & kickstand design, it's clearly designed to be used with on a hard surface when using the kickstand/keyboard cover. Also, it's marketed as a tablet, it's never been expected that any other tablet could be used in a lap, so it's a silly complaint for a tablet. I almost never use a laptop in my lap anyway, so it's no big deal to me. There are plenty of actual convertibles/hybrids that would suit that need.

But it has full Windows 8 in, I expect to be able to use it properly....

Technically, using a tablet in your lap is not using it 'properly', so you would probably just get a convertible or laptop instead. It's still a silly complaint for the reviewers to have.

Well it is something that I was looking for from it... So I am not sure I would call it silly

As for the Vaio Tap 20, now that is something I would call silly! But kind of awesome at the same time, I think the main problem with it is that it's battery isn't actually very good at all

Not silly for you to address (since you need that ability), but silly for reviewers (who should know it's not designed to be used in a lap in the first place) to make a big deal out of.

The Tap 20 is silly, but in an epic, awesome way. Battery life is 4 hours of actual use, which is pretty damn good for something that big.
