Just looking at his setup gave me back pain. I mean, why settle for a small tablet screen with a separate keyboard when you can have several huge screens giving you so much more screen space? What is the point there?
Of course a portable device is great to use when I'm away from my desk, but that's the exception not the rule.
I quite agree with Derbasti; my dream device would be a tablet that I can dock at my desk and have it transformed into a full blown workstation. Even better, make it a phone with a large-ish screen.
This is where dropbox has changed the game for me. If I can get at my stuff from anywhere, I don't care if it's the same device accessing it. Sure, there's some overhead to configuring multiple devices, installing software, etc. But this overhead comes with the advantage that if they are two different platforms, they have different strengths.
I have a desktop and a tablet. Needing to stay flexible between platforms means that switching the OS on either one is not nearly as painful as it used to be.
