You should also check out the ASUS Taichi dual screen notebook.

Interesting to say the least.

I saw this and while it does look unique, I struggle to see why I need 2 screens. If I can figure out a use for 2 screens, I'll definetly consider it...lol

You know when you walk past any Starbucks people like to sit by the window showing off their Apple logo? Well with this, you can really give them something to look at! LOL

Haha...this is very true. I'll look in to this. If I too can have a half eaten apple logo on the back screen while using the front screen, this device jumps at the top of my list.

Its good for watching porn with your girl/boyfriend. They can go down on you and you can both watch porn at the same time!

Tease.

Most of those are not even direct competitors. Have you heard of the ASUS vivotab? I think im probably gonna get that...but then there's also the Samsung Ativ Smart and the HP envy x2.

If you consider only Win RT as a direct copetitor, I guess. But I disagree... Windows 8 is trying to be all things to all people so all these devices compete with each other.

I wrote a thread on my distaste on Windows RT the other day (need backwards compatibility). Other than Surface which is quite attractive due to amazing hardware, I find all the other RT devices very unappealing. They just seem like Android tablets with Windows 8 on them.

All those devices I mentioned are full blown Windows 8 devices. There is a an RT version for the Vivotab, but thats not the one i want.
