I agree with you on tablets in general. Which is what makes me sad about tablets taking all the oxygen, even to the point of ChromeOS apparently getting touch functionality (which seems like a bad idea for many reasons). As a CR-48 owner, I'm actually looking forward to ChromeOS notebooks that are just a bit faster and have just a bit more memory. My biggest abstract concern is that we're giving up so much of our input bandwidth with tablets. To me, the presence of a portion of the hardware dedicated to input says something about a device's purpose, which is to participate in the exchange of ideas. For a tablet, the purpose seems to be to manipulate the device, which it fulfills wonderfully and delightingly, but strikes me as ultimately stifling and restrictive.
