"Netbook / laptop users are work oriented and create the vast majority of the content, while tablet users just want to consume it."
Confirmed both Toshiba and Intel on a press conference in Spain.

So workers and drones respectively then.

Or are tablet users just parasites by that definition?

i hear a bunch of derp surrounding claims that tablets will kill anything.

Tablets and netbooks are specialized devices that really should kinda be used for different roles.


Either way, we all know smartphones are quite literally, ringing the death knells for all other portable computing devices.

I think both forms will eventually merge. A netbook that can be turned into tablet.

Cool. The Dell duo is not in the market yet.

It would be better if the whole screen is attached to the middle of the netbook and can be turned around that central point instead of that frame.
