Personally, I'll take performance and size at a reasonable price, if you're carrying around something as large as a tablet it shouldn't be a big deal to toss a small charger in there too.
I would love for someone to spec out a tablet: processor, graphics subsystem, display technology, battery and WiFi/3G. Then show me how much power their processor and so on will consume and how their battery will provide power for a 10 hour run time.

Using "technologies currently available".



So you'll carry around a charger with your performance tablet? Are you saying a long battery life is pointless since you can simply plug in when you need to?

Then why are we even arguing about run times when an AC outlet is always handy?
