Why do i need to come up with anything i can do on a tablet and not on a laptop? Isn't that sort of a fake argument?
Because you suggested there was something by adding "mostly". But since you agree it would be a fake argument I guess my question is moot. Not really sure why you would start with a fake argument.
Again, the story is "My $200 Laptop Can Beat Your $500 Tablet" and it does put laptops and tablets in comparison. I am not sure why you insist a laptop's qualities are irrelevant when comparing a laptop and a tablet. Is it really that hard to get what the post is about?
Congratulations on deciding to get one. I'm sure it will be a good tool (and I am not saying that with irony, condescendence or with sarcasm). While for me the joy of using the product is tightly connected to it's capabilities I can concede that it does not have to be that way for everyone. If simply the brand makes you happy it's a good enough reason to get it as far as I'm concerned. If Apple would add the features you mentioned with the addition of browsing and opening files over the network (smb, nfs, etc) I would reconsider my position. I am sure though they have a pretty large crowd to listen to in terms of requests for new features and the features I'd like in there are likely at the bottom of the list. These devices, as they are designed now, are definitely not targeting me as a customer. They would need to become either cheaper either more functional so I'll stick to my phone and my laptop with nothing in between.
