Is a Scion XA not a car because a Ferrari is faster? We're dealing with subjectivity. I can go into Starbucks for coffee without having to haul a computer bag and still take my N810 from my pocket and benefit from the capabilities of the Internet. I don't have to sit next the one wall outlet available there so I can finish my email. It's all a matter of personal preferences and priorities. For many of us the tablet does just fine and puts a smile on our faces.
