I didn't add "price" as a criteria. For one, I find the price of both absolutely okay. A low end notebook still is about € 800 - and in lots of areas less appealing than those tablets.
In addition, each consumer has to decide about his personal budget and needs.
I wouldn't compare "Mercedes" to "Volkswagen" or "Toyota" either. To some, "Mercedes" simply will be overpriced. Others just will compare to "BMW".
Last week, I saw a € 100 tablet from China. For this price, it was spectacular. How can they even integrate GPS, processor, touchscreen, RAM, ... for that kind of money?
The price/benefit ratio of that unit certainly is great. Still, I wouldn't buy it for myself.
I'm spending maybe 5 hours every single day with some gadget. For those thousands of hours (over a usage period of 2 or 3 years) even a price of € 1.000 would be way cheaper (per hour) than going to the cinema, having a standard dinner in a restaurant, purchasing a paper book or any other activity for your spare time.
And I don't even want to recommend any specific unit. I just wanted to show some of the differences between the systems...
