That's smaller than that first "laptop" we had... A Compaq, black/green monochrome and about the size of a midi tower...

And that's how I see a tablet as well, an entertainment device, with maybe the possibility to do some light work on it, if the situation demands it. Which is why the Apple devices will never do for me, as I only work on Windows.
