Now imagine this with the new Sandybridge processors. Battery life will improve about 1.5 fold. You could build a smaller, 10.1" version weighing only 700 grams or so. A slightly improved interface. We are almost there already.
I'll believe it when I see it. But even if true, such technological improvements could also lead to even thinner and lighter Android/iOS/etc tablets.
