Can't see it working with a 15" laptop, which is my preferred size.

But if it gets to the point where all laptops have touch screens then I won't complain - it might work well with some UIs (like XBMC). I'm just not willing to pay extra for it.

These trends are causing me to reconsider my computing setup. Right now I have a 13" Macbook Air with an external screen, which to my mind is the best of both worlds- portability when I need it, a large monitor when I'm sat down to do some serious work.

But I'm wondering if my minimal processing requirements (I'm doing web development) mean that I could buy an Asus Transformer tablet (complete with keyboard) and install Ubuntu on it. It would make the portable even more portable, but retain a good workstation setup when I'm sat at my desk.
