Why Android? Why not the mobil version of Win8? That way you keep the same basic interface.

Obviously there is a benefit in available apps, but I would give users the choice detatch and switch to Android or Win8 Mobil.

Do either tablet, laptop, or PC. PC manufacturers still don't get it.

I'm in the market for something that's a tablet when I want to consume and a laptop when I want to produce. The Transformer Book looks perfect. Now to decide if I want to hold off on buying the Transformer Infinity when it's released...

There may be practical applications. I'd love my laptop to have a screen on the top so I can whip it out like an ipad, even if heavier. But I'd also like to be replace my phone: use it to call, and connect for internet by placing my sim card in the computer. Then it would be my EVERYTHING. I'm holding out for that.

The ASUS site shows Win8 on the tablet when it's detached from the dock:
