[citation][nom]HotRoderx[/nom]even if its x86 based unless its packing a laptop processor then its not going to be able to do a lot of the things a pc or laptop can. Basically with what your saying you would need whats basically a laptop with a touch screen. Call me nuts but that's going to be on the bulky side and weight a at least a 1lb or 2 unless its one of these "ultra book things I here about" then its going to cost your arm and both legs. This is assuming it will be able to run most apps a pc runs along with having more then 2-3hrs battery life. The more I think about this the more it sounds like a fail idea in the making. Part of what makes the Ipad and Android based tablets so popular is size. I have a buddy that works IT that is connected at the hip with his tablet. He literally uses it for everything. He does video calls on it when working on projects. He uses it for trouble shooting different issues. He uses it for keeping track of inventory so he can working on something and know in moments if he needs to order parts. Then he can order parts right from the device. The fact the device weights under a lb and is ultra portable makes it light years more suited for his needs then a laptop. The other thing is the app store take apples or Androids app store away and both devices would fail. I really hope Windows has some serious backing when it comes to apps. As far as running Android apps on the pc only thing I found to do that is blue-stack. The android applications have to be emulated. That basically means any type of android app we have no will have to be re designed to work with windows based computer.[/citation]
If it's x86 then it will be packing a laptop processor (x86 is done by Intel and AMD - with a few exceptions like VAIO) , which the specs are for (I believe) an i5 or an i5 ulv (ultra-low voltage). Regardless, their plan is to compete with ultrabooks as far as specs and performance.
As far as apps go, it's up to developers, but I'm hopeful they continue to make things easy to port. Like between the 360 and PC.
