These "tablets" will either have enough battery that they will be a
commercial failure because your arm will fall off trying to use it as
a "tablet". Or it won't have a laptop sized battery, in which case it
will be using a more advanced power management scheme than "suspend to
ram" --- or it will be a commercial failure because no one likes using
a tablet with a miniscule battery life.
