I think we're going to be seeing more and more convergence where a lot of our computing is done on these tablets. I can see many uses, for example when W HD or wifi is fast enough, this thing could be your remote screen for your Pro in the office, that you just walk around and edit on with the same app, but a different UI. Email, web surfing, twitter, facebook, calendars, contacts, blogging, all of that stuff can be done on a sturdy device that slips in between the cushions of your couch. I can't code, or play WoW on it, but other than that, I am finding a hard time finding stuff I do on the laptop that I would not be able to do on this. Add in the fact that I REALLY want a 500gb fast SSD drive on my laptop, that is one less difference, and the keyboard, if apple would support bluetooth as an option, etc, I dunno, I can see us transitioning....... the network is the weak point, but that will be fixed at some point.
