I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. It is one of those convertibles where I can fold the keyboard back and use it like a laptop. I use it more like a laptop than a tablet because most of what I do tends to be me typing a lot and I find that the realestate gets destroyed by those on screen keyboards (I really with high end smartphones came with a slider keyboard option). I do however use the touch functionality quite a lot to scroll and open things up because it can be quicker depending on what is going on.

I really like the combined world because it can be what you want it to be. These convertibles are also only going to be getting thinner and lighter as intel continues to improve their chips. The next chip coming out Q4 or Q1 will have fanless options for portables which can help to get rid of some of that bulk.

We should be getting a preview of Windows 9 sometime soon (rumored for Q4 RTM already) and hopefully it solves some of the problems with Windows 8.

To me this is like video game consoles that play movies, stream music and have lots of other functions besides just playing games. If the hardware is there then why shouldn't it do those things? I want it to do those things because it is one less thing I need to buy. Save me money, time and space.
