I got a new ASUS Transformer Notebook. It seems to have all the best attributes of a laptop and a tablet. The keyboard is detachable. You can use touch screen, control pad, USB mouse or keyboard.
It has a solid state hard drive that is blazing fast. But what is really amazing is that it can take a tiny Micro SD card, no bigger than your thumbnail. I have used them in tablets, cameras, phones, etc, but the latest Micro SDXC, has now doubled the speed and I have 128 gigs of storage available for instant access.
I remember when I got a PC that had 100 MEG memory, and thought at the time that would be all I'd ever need.
