I'm with you. It doesn't make sense to me either. You're getting less of a machine for more money to the tune of "more convenience". My Nook Tablet was more than I wanted to pay for a tablet, but I got a good deal on it (I guess). The Nook is more convenient to haul around with me. I can't see lugging a 13" tablet everywhere. If I was just going to use a 13" device at home on my couch, I'd rather have a nice laptop that does so much more than an Android tablet.
