HP is out of the game for now, because they put all their eggs in the wrong basket. Their blunder is my fortune.
Well, yeah, someday we'll have Star-Trek Transporters too.

BTW the Transformer just won: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15559778

But the issue is still hauling all that around and software compatibility if you expect to use it as a true laptop.

It's more this (the software compatibility) that sets the dividing line, just like with content availability/ecosystem between phones, tablets, ultrabooks, laptops, desktops, servers...
