Just you wait till you upgrade to a real laptop with a 15” or 17” display! 8)

Same here. Have one running through a 40" TV for a monitor so I know all about the benefits of large displays. What I Like is the sheer convenience of being able to take much of what I am doing with me everywhere in the house, in a way that is not so easy with a laptop, though the wifi is a bit iffy in some rooms - dodgy cytanet router!
There are still some things a I find the laptop better for which includes video editing (not that I do much of that) and streaming tv.

Agreed... I still use my PC lots...

But to have the tablet with you is most convenient...

And they have quad-core versions now for the same price I paid....

It is most excellent for £30...
