Hybrid Notebook Computers (Tablet/Laptop)
Hybrid Notebook Computers (Tablet/Laptop)
Do you think this will be a permeate product in our shelves or is it just appealing to a niche market?
I personally think the concept is a good idea, but some manufacturers designs leave the product to be easily damaged if dropped once.
If you own or have fiddled around with these hybrids, what are thoughts on these tablet/notebook computers.

I do own an ASUS Infinity and I do really like it. Its really useful for studying and stuff.
what do you mean?

I find it kinda weird since what you do on a laptop, can probably be done on a tablet, and vice-versa.

I would get one simply because it's tablet sized and I can use it as a tablet or a laptop with full Windows functionality, therefore easy portable gaming of all sorts.

There is an older generation of technology called tablet laptops or table laptop hybrids, which are basically a full sized laptop that often doesn't have touch compatibility and its main feature is really that it's monitor and can swivel and make it seem basically like you're holding a screen in your hand.
The new term coined by Intel "Ultrabook Convertible" seems to fit these specifications:
smaller than a laptop around 14" and under
Thin as an ultrabook
A screen that swivels over the base part of the notebook to make it into a touchscreen tablet
Can run the full version of Windows 8, therefore you can switch between having a more convenient tablet experience or a full Windows enviroment.

Getting the Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro 700T for Christmas, gonna fiddle with it a bit...
It's not going to become the standard. It is a niche product, however it's a mainstream niche product so it will be seen around from now on. It may have a boost in sales and popularity now, but when people start having major issues with them they will become annoyed. They are also unable to be customized, and people want thin tablets which reduces any possibility of customizable tabtops to near nothing. I see them being sold, however not as a replacement.

As long as standard laptops keep having more functionality (programs-wise) and a better price to performance ratio, neither tablets nor ultrabook convertibles will be toppling standard laptops when it comes to portable computing.
it's not going to work.
