To answer the question why a tab? Then its simple. A tab gives us portability, screen real estate and a customisable level of personal functionality. In short its an ubiquitous device that has no extensions for input other than our fingers. So it becomes simple to roll out and its clutter free.
The Asus T2 has a reported 14.5 hour battery life although its more of a hybrid like the Dell Duo- now compare that to a similar spec laptop running a dual core and you start to appreciate the why tabs argument. Its what people desire and soon processor speed and smart TV technology will mean PCs will disappear in the home at least. 
  how is a tablet more portable?  its bairly smaller than a decent laptop and you still have to have or pay for a 3g 4g plan.... i dont agree at all.  same price for a laptop and you have 10 times the functions
Well how many laptops have bags with shoulder straps? Do tabs have the same? Theyre lighter, no pad, no keyboard, no battery pack, no drives = more portable. Price isn't the issue for peeps who prefer tabs its a lifestyle choice. Yes laptops are more capable but its more about desirability. Tabs are more for casual and social usage and they're cooler - touch screens rather than kbm input. In terms of capability its the same as the desktop vs laptop argument. Most laptops were as expensive as PCs then but now you have lots of budget-mid range laptops to choose from. Of course the choice is to have both or all if possible.
i think your getting a little far with your point, i agree its just about choice but i dont believe they are worth buying or having at all.  there a great TOY if someone doesnt mind spending the cash on it but still think overall a waist of money and that was the only point i was trying to make to yinyang.  even a mini laptop would be more worth it imo.
C'mon man I was only responding 2 ur question on portability so u gave me lots of scope to go 'far' with. I understand what u were saying and u were only offering ur opinion like me. But if we all stop to think if spending $ or £ on stuff was actually worth it or useful then thats a different matter to 'which one is best'. For me. im a tight b4stard, it goes with my culture lol, so nothing's truly worth the money. IMO my money pays not just for a product but for every fker who hijacks the chain. But in terms of convenience, pleasure, experience, reward then some things are worth more than just money! Soon the gap between tablets and laptops will be bridged then maybe tablets will be as capable and more attractive to the public. I personally think 2012 will be the year of the tablet but who actually knows eh! We base our opinions on our values and I admit atm i'm slightly biased towards tablets! 
yeah i aint gonna lie, you gotta a big point cause i do buy stuff cause i want it not cause its the better choice or needed lol.  you should see the $1,000's of dollars in tools i have that ive used either once or are still in the box lol.  hell i think i still have a $750 chop saw thats still in the box with dust on it.
Lol u aint the only tech junkie I got a jigsaw, soldering iron and loads of software and games ive hardly/ never touched. cant believe im so dumb sometimes. I'll update on the tablets after tomorrow, at least they wont cost anything to loan...
Cos I'm Wonderman...I'll take that knife and shove it up your a$$!

k so i've had just over a week with a few different tablet devices. Here's the rundown so far in case anyone is thinking of buying:
iPad 2 - great device, super display, stable, good output to a large screen (although its 720p its still quality). lots of apps. Downside is that its wireless if you have apple TV, everything goes through iTunes so its quite expensive to get content (films, music etc), no extendable hard drive storage.
Asus eeTransformer - fast, Kbd docking with mousepad, USB, Micro HDMI, excellent performance, battery saving/usage is the best bar none, great display, Android Honeycombe is impressive. Downside feels like a laptop, not the prime so no quad core. Also they have a new hybrid called the padphone coming out at the end of March I think.
Sony - fast, great display, its a Sony so its interconnected (SD, USB, Micro HDMI), easy connection to PS via DNLA (not fully tested and not tried throwing media to a smart tv yet). Downside - feels cheap, design, cant get it to connect to Samsung tv!
Motorolla Xoom - Performs pretty well but damn the on button took me ages to find. Protective skin is very usefulNeed more time with this one
Toshiba - cant remember the series but its got the most connections, great display, not tested with the apps or internet as yet. Seems a little bulky though. 
I can only add that the android machines offer more in terms of functionality. They connect wirelessly to a smart tv, mirror tabs to screen is easy, you can use it as a remote for your TV  or as an additional monitor and the content is not limited so you can upload your own movies and music . Also it can be extended to increase the hard drive and output at 1080p. The apps for Android are not as stable but they're normally very reliable, very good and a little cheaper than apple. Open source may be a security issue but Ive not found this and ive had a Galaxy S2 phone for nearly a year now.
Will post again once ive got some info to update. Didn't get the Galaxy, Playbook or HTC Flyer
