Agreed. If I didn't need a desktop, I would stay with a tablet. That said, should you ever need a desktop, the base model mini is more computer than I could ever dream of--at just over $500--just add a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and you've got a full system for under $750--give or take. Luckily, I had coupons, gift cards, and already had all my accessories. So it was SUPER cheap. I'm excited. And nostalgic. Cheers!
