You can find an "ok" laptop for about 300 bucks, new, with AMD processor. You won't find an "ok" 10" capacitive screen tablet for that price, only junks.
In my opinion, tablets are being marketed wrong; and we'll never see eye-to-eye on this.

OK is a state of mind. A $250~$300 laptop is all the laptop I need and I wouldn't find it lacking in the least.

The problem with the tablet market is this one size fits all mentality that these companies have. Tablets need to come in varying sizes with varying features and varying prices.
