I was seriously considering an Asus Transformer Prime (the specs are staggeringly good) but now that I have had a Touchpad for awhile I have come to think Amazon may be right with the 7" form factor. 9-10 inches is just a bit too big and 4" is just a bit too small. 7" seems just big enough.
OK I just reread this post and if you take the last two sentences out of context I sound really really gay. Another problem I have with the Touchpad is that while it is 10X more useful than an iPad () .. and even after loading mine with Ubuntu .. it is still basically a toy. And if I'm buying another big toy... $500+ seems a bit too much. |

I still contend that these tablets are severely overpriced for what they are and hate apple for setting that damn price point for everyone to follow. |

You're better off saving up for an iPad you want than buying a series of shitty non-competitors that you'll hate.

It has been a perfect buy for me. I can do pretty much everything I want except for photo editing. Especially with all the enhancements google has made to the UI of all their web products.

I have a Kindle Fire. Its awesome, though glitchy, and no way comparable to the iPad. Unless you think a Ferrari 599 and a Hyundai Accent are comparable.
I do prefer the size of the Fire, especially since I primarily read on it. But that's it. |

Especially when a cheap laptop is going to come with cheap software that will land you up in the malware thread all the time.
