I really like the keyboard dock solution that the ASUS Transformer Prime has. I'd definitely get the ASUS Transformer Infinity if it was released. But I need a tablet now so I'll have to settle for this one.
Unless there are any good tablets coming out soon?
Is there an ETA for Windows 8 tablets?

Make sure you give one a good test drive and make sure it can do what you want before you go ahead, but I made this thread a while ago noting a few docks which caught my eye: link. (I thought the last one which the palm rest was nice, it has some dedicated keys too.)

None of them have built-in batteries though. Have you considered getting the $399 iPad 2? It may save you a little cash if you don't care about the better display? (I'd go for the iPad 3 though, because I do

)

Goodbye, my dear e8600! Hello iPad!! (And as effed as it is for me to be saying this, really, it's immoral and all but... THANKS Wal-Mart!)

Hey, also, be sure you download the Asus Ai Charger utility so you can be sure to quickcharge your iPad on your PC!

Ifixit dismantled the ipad, they said that the lcd is very easy to remove after the front panel is gone. I don't know if it's feasible but i was thinking it if someone took 4 ipad screen and merge it together it would make a res of 8192x6144... Bring on the xfire 7970.

After getting a Touchpad, I realized I used my tablet maybe 5 times since last summer. I don't know, tablets seem like too much of a novelty to me. If I need a laptop or computer, I'll use those. If not, I'll use my phone.

I don't really understand the tablet obsession.

*This comment is not against Apple but to tablets in general.

I use my Ipad at work, and at home all the time. I would say the news applications and social media functions its capable of are so easy to access. The last 6 books I have read have been on my Kindle application and the next 3 I will be reading are on it as well. I can park it in a doc and play Pandora music or if i want to hear a specific Album I own then i hit iTunes. I store documents and role playing pdfs on Cloud Drives and can access them anyplace I have the internet. I would say at least 40% of my internets time is on my ipad. Love to carry it into Applebee's and On The Border.
