  Multitasking on a tablet? How futile is that? Kinda like combing your hair with your hat on. If you want to be "productive" and "work harder," just get a PC.

  For the same price, I'd rather get an iPad. Screen resolution is 2048x1536 and it runs an excellent OS that has a long future ahead of it.

  While a tablet, at least for themoment, may not totally replace a PC, I use my iPad for 90% of what I do and have no problem multitasking with it
