How are people still repeating this? Better sensor suite, better (outward-facing!) camera, and better built-in ability to use it as a drawing surface than pretty much any laptop (certainly none combines all those things), an OS that's actually suitable for creative audio work and doesn't otherwise get in one's way all the damn time (Android, Windows, Linux), and the software to match.
But it doesn't have a mouse and the keyboard's an add-on so it must just be for watching Youtube I guess.

The reason people still say it is a multimedia devices is because that is where it excels.
