that being said, since the recent multi core ARM cpus (hello tegra 3) have a TDP close to intel's atoms, and with the amount of engineering intel pushes into the mobile area, i wouldnt be too surprised if intel would actually beat arm as well in that area.

personally, i don't want a transformer device. the main reason is that it runs android and has little connectivity options. it cannot do anything CLOSE to what I do on the laptop. i own some tablets (!) and i rarely use them. i like to test stuff on them, and sometimes, browse the web or the like. but they're not very useful.

i like the phone better (its smaller!!) and the light laptop better (it does everything without compromises ! and im talking using word, the web, IM, etc, not coding. heck im+web and copy pasting around in android is such a pita. not even talking about getting a proper video out, or copying files on a usb stick.)
