It can't be your only device especially, for technical users, but for what most people use a tablet for, it is more than enough. I think of it as a tablet, not a full laptop/PC replacement.

For me, I use it to watch video more often than not, but it is nice to have if I need to make changes to a document or connect to a server. If I need some specific software, I can easily RDP into a PC or the terminal server. I almost never bring my laptop onto a client site anymore because of it.
