Like I said in the conclusion, I believe they are the perfect choice for a certain user profile. I just don’t fit the profile. The minute I sell the Motion, I’ll miss a lot of things about it: notetaking, couch/bed/stall surfing, etc. But I can’t afford to keep both a laptop and a tablet.

I also don’t believe that a convertible tablet (basically a laptop with write-on screen, where the keyboard folds away behind the screen) is an answer. It sacrifices most of the portability that the slate form factor offers. Motion sells a snap-on keyboard that I’ve heard is really nice, though.

When last we left the Love My Tablet, Hate My Tablet series over at Stark Raving Calm we’d gotten a dose of Tablet PC love. The third in a series details some Tablet PC gripes. Check it out here.
