The main reason you shouldn't is that with Haswell being released, you will be able to get a much better full version Windows tablet that likely has better battery life. It won't be that cheap though.

I use one as my main tablet right now and it handles everything I want it to, since almost every tool I need is available on the Web or through RDP to a desktop/server, depending on where I am.
