Mobile touchscreen devices will simply never be as capable as actual general-purpose computers. The Transformer has poor performance compared to available standard laptops. For people who actually use their computers to do actual work, tablets and phones are not sufficient. From transcoding to database work to web development to gaming, low-power low-speed touch-as-primary-input devices (almost entirely running mobile operating systems) are useless. Atom-class ULV and ARM Cortex CPUs can't keep up with an i5, i7 or AMD FX or A8 chip. Hybrid graphics laptops can both save power and run high-end 3D stuff. There isn't any room in a thin slate form factor for all the stuff that normal laptops and desktops can do. They will never die. They will also never be as convenient as a phone. Each has their place in the grand scheme of things. I'd hate to write a long paper on a cell phone with a docking station, I'd hate to have to whip out a laptop just to check my email, and I'd hate to wait on either of them to compress 1080p 60fps video with x264.
