I think the Transformer is the evolution of both tablets and notebooks, but you're right Android does need more "pro" apps. But I wouldn't be so quick to switch to Windows 8, either. I believe all computer machines will gradually switch to ARM this decade, as they become more and more powerful, while maintaining an order of magnitude smaller TDP and several times smaller price than similar performance Intel chip.
As such, Windows 8 for ARM will be even more behind Android by the end of 2012, because they can only support legacy apps on x86 chips. The ARM ones will have zero old Windows apps. With Transformer you can get about 15 hours of battery life. With an Atom based Windows netbook you get about 5, and netbooks generally have the best battery life from all Windows notebooks.
