Ever used a Tablet?
Too clunky to be a PDA, not enough power/features to be a good laptop.

Huh? They have all the features of a laptop, plus more. Far more fully featured than many thin and light laptops. Convertables are essentially physically identical to a laptop, though I prefer the slate formate with the keyboard being detachable if I happen to know that I won't be using it. (Like browsing info and taking notes at a meeting.)

If the Tablet OS were free, almost EVERY latop would be a tablet, because there's no downside. Don't like the ink features? Use it like a regular laptop!

It's all about the cost...
