I disagree. I go to a lot of meetings where I need to show clients my portfolio of work. I used to drag my laptop around and half the time wouldn't even bother to pull it out only because it would be too much of a hassle to pull out and turn on or set up. But my Transformer Prime is wicked. I slide it into my briefcase and can have it out on the desktop in seconds. Super small and hassle free. Especially if I only take the tablet without the keyboard.

This just looks cheap. I do want to hold one before I make a final judgment, but it's not something I can purchase and not think of it completely as a toy and not some sorta pseudo computational tool.

It could be looking cheap because it is cheap. As in inexpensive. I would trade a cheap case with great specs and great performance for a device that costs twice as much with a beautiful case but lousy performance.

But the problem for this is that it's competition has both the performance AND the premium materials.

Yes, I but still lower specs and for a lot more money. Especially with the N7.

You're missing a word there that makes it hard to see what you're saying.

For the nexus 10, the iPad 4s performance is the same or better. The iPad mini has some performance deficiencies, but is able to keep pace with the N7 in most tasks. (Mainly because the tegra 3 used in the 7 is an older chip using an architecture comparable to the A5s)

Okay then just look at the cost. It's a matter of almost buying 2 N7's for the price of one ipad mini. The N10 is also offering much more for a lot less. It does depend a lot on what you want to do with it. Tablets for me are toys. They have their purpose in some situations but over all it is something you play with.

But some people will want the iPad regardless which is fine if they feel they want to spend the extra for it.

I'd give more credit to hardware/software integration than I would the chip. Also, don't forget that the less resolution = less strenuously a bunch of things have to operate.

Well yeah, but the mini also has a significantly more powerful GPU too.
