Tablet or laptop

SuperNed;302899 wroteOh ok. All my negativity aside, I was thinking tablets could run most programs like a pc/mac/laptop. So an ipad for instance can't run mac applications/programs unless there is a mobile app? I thought people could play pokerstars etc on ipads. I think many people are under the impression they are more like a computer and less like a large version of a touch screen cell phone.

Well a windows based tablet is more like a computer, however much less powerful.. The 4 main tablets are the Playbook running QNX, the Ipad running IOS 5, Windows 7 tablets and all the rest running the Android O/S.
Which one you use is totally dependant on your needs and budget.

The Commodore 64 is by far the most advanced piece of computer equipment on the market today. You'll never EVER need more than 128K...Bill Gates confirms this. Its more computer than you'll ever need and beats the Commodore PET hands down.

Oh...sorry...thought I was stuck in 1979 there for a minute

Don't be hating on the Commodore! If need be just download a C64 emulator (on a pc or laptop, not a tablet obviously :p)....and lose yourself in some Jumpman, Hover Bovver, or B.C.s Quest for Tires :D
In all seriousness, those emulators are quite fun...for those who used to use those old computers and arcade games. Basically turns your pc into whatever system or arcade cabinet you want. If you get really bored you can write a few lines in BASIC and make your name fill the C64 screen ^-^

BCs Quest for Tires was also a pretty good game.

Also Summer Games and Hardball.

What I really want isn't out yet.
I want a super high resolution OLED screen.
Long battery life and high power.
A good keyboard.
A powerful graphics processor.
22 nanometer or smaller processor.
Light weight.
2 TB of storage

I want the next generation of ultrabooks.

But the closest today seem to be the AMD A8-3870K based laptops.
4 cores @3 Ghz and an integrated Radeon HD 6550D. for about $550.

But I don't want that. I want it when they shrink the die to 22 nanometer for better performance and less heat, longer battery and put an OLED high res screen in it.

Many a night in public school was spent with the guys playing Summer Games....Winter Games etc. Great fun with such basic games....ok...enough nostalgia...lol

Actually, I think it IS possible to play poker on the PB, though I havent tried it yet, and it seems maybe a tad sketchy.... but I downloaded an app called splashtop streamer. Allows you to remotely connect to your computer/laptop/whatever. I have tried lots of other apps like PT4 and they all seem to work. Dont wanna push my luck at work and try to open the stars client though....

So a Commodore 64 x 4 (to make it a quad 4) with 2 TB of storage all compacted into a tablet (or should it be 6 tablets so I have a huge screen and can play 8 tables at once, hmmmmm?) that is attached to a keyboard and/or mouse, that has winter/summer games preloaded and my fav's, pitfall and centepede.
Sounds like a plan.... lol
