Tablets are the foreseeable future and all but as a "desktop PC enthusiast" and all that entails I sure find them boring as hell.

Would love to see a tablet much larger than 10 inches. Offer 15, 18 and 21 would be nice.

Am I carrying around my desktop now? Am I using my tablet as a desktop now? Who does that?
