Your argument for cost effectiveness doesn't work ... the makers know to charge for portability as apple sets the example and MSFT follow suits (tablets costs as much as laptops and has less computing power) Samsung challenging Apple at charging higher or equal prices but who blinks first in a year => s-discount

gosh imagine all computing replaced with Haswell the electric bill will go down and the computing power will go up the tablets will run for days other uses of the technology could be applied to make other products smarter of course we're still far away from the Terminator universe, lol perhaps companies will not be so fast to drop Intel while intel is lucky that cyber espionage hasn't stolen their secrets
