No one said "no one is interested". There's one born every minute. For
what they provide I'd take an android 4.4 tablet such as the nexus 7
anyday. For the money you can get a fully functional laptop and put a
REAL OS on it (Debian Linux for me).

Only an ignorant fanboi, that would be you wRonG, would see any
benefit in these over a proper lightweight laptop.

Your history of "predictions" goes before you.

You're an idiot.
