I've seen doctors ask for workstations that cost upwards to $30000 and all they do on it is put their coffee cup on the top of it and browse the Wall Street Journal. A machine, whether it be a laptop, desktop or whatever, is just a tool. The simpler and easier it is for them to pick up and use, the better.

Most of the remarks so far have been comparing it to the netbook and laptop replacements, or even desktop replacements. That's a pretty limited and short sighted view as to what this device can do and its potential applications.

Ive got a tonnnnnne of doctors in my family (im basically the odd one out) and that's where i hear it from none of them like it except for that 1 guy

perhaps those working in the hospital may enjoy it, but im speaking in terms of your GP
