Do you think a tablet could replace the laptop? If it allowed a external keyboard and a stand I could see it happen...:cool:

Tablet without a keyboard obviously can not replace a laptop (because you do not want thumb-type nayhting longer than 100 words on it and i it is big you would not be able to thumb-type at all). If there is a keyboard (and the keyboards can be realy thin these days), why not to use it to protect the screen? For that you have two options - classic laptop or classic tablet (with rotateable screen). People already went through this and the decision have been made. Tablet without the keyboard might make sense only as a media-entertainment device (primarily) with an option to connect to BT keyboard for occasional typing.
 
My crazy prediction:

The back of the tablet is touch sensitive.

You will be able to type using your fingers on the back of the device, as you look at the device from the front.
