The outlaws were over at the weekend and the Fa' in Law was on about some new tech that he's getting (he's a complete computer/tech geek). It sounded like a notebook/laptop that you can seperate the screen from to use as a tablet (er..hope I've got the terminology right!).
When I told my wife after they'd left, her reaction was a classic, something like - 'WTF is he wasting his money on now, all he does is sit there surfing porn. He needs to buy himself a decent bike and get some exercise...the lazy selfish a**e' (woah.....nice eh?! 😆 )
So, if such laptop/tablet things exist, how much are they (not that I'm going to do any s**t stirring of course 😉
I imagine he's on about the Asus Transformer, new versions are due out at the end of the month
I imagine the like of these are a real threat to netbooks.

not too pricey, as a lover of Asus netbooks I look at them with a lot of interest.
About 500 IIRC
some where getting sold off cheap lately as the new model is coming out. Saw them posted on the hot deals site.
Cheers for the info. Looking at the link, and from what the Pa in Law was saying, I think it is the latest version Asus Transformer - he was on about it being robust enough to use outdoors etc. My wife said she doesn't know why he needs that facility, 'cos he never goes outdoors! 😆 (To give you a flavour of his lack of interest in any sports, he didn't see the point of the Olympics at all - & he thinks we've just bought bikes to look at them, and was astounded when we said we go out riding in the rain!!)
I was hoping it'd be a £1500 job, so there'd be good stirring potential (he's told the Mother in Law that they can't afford to go on holiday this year.....uh ohhh)
