basically if you want a complete laptop\desktop replacement, go with a Surface Pro or another i5-i7 based tablet. but if you want a complimentary device with more mobility, go for the Atom ones

Or wait for the new Haswell Intel chips, they are supposed to have similar performance to the Ivy Bridge, but geared towards power conservation needed in mobile devices.
Due out in June IIRC.
