A friend of mine said the same thing. Great for casual browsing, a bit of reading and looking up, but when you won't be writing your thesis on a tablet. You could, but you won't, just because it isn't made for that. Thats why I am pleasantly surprised by the addition of the keyboard. It makes it more usable for other stuff than quick browsing and looking stuff up.

Long story short, I didn't say that a tablet is useless, just that it is not as usefull as it could be (which might be fixed in part by the MS surface). As for the reason I don't want one, I'm paranoid :P
