this will be a potential dual boot tablet, i'd love to run android on tab mode and win7 on keyboard mode

there's no doubt that windows will be coming for ARM chips very soon, it wants a piece of the (tablet) pie very badly. anyway, there are some tabs that runs on atom chips, these can be dual booted, like the viewpad.

if i'm going to buy a tablet, i really want one that has windows OS and also android in it. plus a proper USB socket for my pendrive and also bluetooth connection to my wireless keyboard and mouse, not to mention a stand that is built into the tablet's back so when I'm using Windows, the tab itself could act like a monitor, and the whole thing will become a laptop. this will be the ultimate tablet / laptop / netbook. how hard can it be?

one thing i don't like about ASUS, they make crappy motherboards, always fry within 3 years. i had 3 different ASUS mobo in the last few years, all fried. i used MSI, GIGABYTE, INTEL and even PC chips bought in the same period, all are still running. in fact, the longest running mobo is PC chips! it's 10 years old and still going strong, from windows 2k to winxp. i even installed win 7 in it, although it's lagging a bit, but it's still usable! and i'm not saying i choose which one to abuse, all of them are running almost 24/7

of course i'm serious. well known doesn't mean it's reliable, proton is also well known in malaysia, does their brand makes them good? i can confirm it's their motherboard's problem, because when it fried, i took out everything on it (processor, RAM, PSU) and put all of them into another brand's mobo, it worked fine until now. 3 units of Asus mobo from low spec to high spec (celeron 2 years plus, P4 and dual core not more than 2 years) also faced this problem before and all 3 also i swapped out the cpu, rams and stuff into other mobo. after swapping to other brand, the hardware is still running until now (24/7 as usual). and 1 year ago i purchased a core2 duo with Asus mobo (giving it one last chance), the mobo spoiled within 6 months, brought it back for warranty, now keeping it in store room collecting dust because i bought a GIGABYTE mobo to replace it when it was sent back to claim warranty.

i swore i wouldn't use ASUS anymore. i'm not bashing this brand, i'm stating only facts.
