You misunderstood me. You said computers and netbooks are different. My point was that the difference (keyboard) does not affect any of the problems I mentioned. I was referring to the fact that a tablet will heat up, exactly like a netbook, because all the components still have to be there. It will also have the same battery life issues as a netbook. The only difference (when used as a reader) between a netbook and a tablet is that a netbook is not comfortable to use as a reader because holding it is too awkward with the keyboard attached. And it will be a little heavier.
