It must be nice to have a job where a tablet is currently able to adequately meet your needs. Unfortunately, productivity matters where I work so nobody uses, or wants to use, a tablet for work related activities. I have a tablet at home and it's a really fun little device, but real work, hardly.
For me, no mouse, no physical keyboard, no full-blown desktop applications, no dice, not at work.

If you use a Tablet for business and it does the job, keep it. If you use the same machine for personnel work, such as letter writing a Laptop is better and a Desktop is even better. Try using a Tablet while helping your youngster with their homework. The Tablet may have a place, but it is not a cure-all.

It does not seam possible, sorry!
Not sure what business's you poled but I just don't see it. I see the laptop taking over the desktop but not until the tablet gets more horse power under the hood do I see it taking over. I think most THINK they use it as a laptop replacement.

They should also been asked, "Have you used a table before?". Not all bussinesses can use tablets.

Just FYI, you can now connect many peripherals to tablets (keyboards, mice, etc.). Some are bluetooth and some are like docks that turn tablets into mini laptops. This one even has a quad-core processor. Check it out: http://eee.asus.com/...prime/features/
