The weight compared to a modern android system or ipad2 would be laughable.

The idea of combining a tablet and laptop is a very bad idea, especially if it is running an OS not written with touch in mind. It's a kludge of device brought out as a reaction to the rapidly growing tablet market. And it won't be on sale very long I imagine.

Hope that helps

I have a huge HP touchscreen running Win7 and I've never had any problems with it. It works fine with windows.

As for my little Duo here, it's perfect for me. It's smaller than the laptop it replaces, has a keyboard, and works as tablet for when I'm surfing.
