Gaah, gotta slow down and look at what I'm posting.

I kinda liked the idea of the tablet being x86 personally, as there is a potential to run the mainline linux kernel on the device along with the mesa graphics drivers.
??? I'm kinda confused, I was pretty sure the mainline Linux kernel had at least some built-in support for ARM. (I'm trying to get up to speed with the details of porting Linux & Mer right now...)

But in any case, I'm just saying that there's no need to just give up on the whole ARM-based world right at the start.
