Running the desktop versions of Windows has been a major drawback in tablets to date. The usage model and interface maps extremely poorly to tablet use, an issue known since before the iPad appeared.

For as much as the thing costs, you're probably better off spending the extra, finding some sort of discount, and getting a Macbook Air.

I'd have been more impressed if they'd have gone ARM for the CPU and a different OS (webOS?) as they'd have a much better interface and far better battery life, but that will probably be next year (for webOS at least.) As it stands this will probably end up in the same bin most previous tablets have landed in.

Oh and what are the main spec differences between this and the WeTab?
