<p>I am thinking about replacing my motorola droid with a tablet if it has phone capability and interacts with a bluetooth headset.</p>
<p>I don't want to replace my 15.4" laptop with smaller screen, though.<br><br></p>

I've had a toshiba netbook for about a year and half and, though it is quite small and convenient to carry around, I haven't used it much. Screen is too small and the battery life still isn't great running a full linux distro (opensuse). However, I got an HP Envy Ultrabook a couple of weeks ago, and it has a tablet beat all around.<br>
Full res 14" screen, it's light and the battery lasts for days with light use, and for hours of continuous use.<br>
With the ssd drive it's nearly instant on & off.<br>
OpenSUSE 12.2 runs flawlessly out of the box, including the camera, sound, wireless and all the function keys.<br>
It's small enough to take just about anywhere and has all the power of a desktop computer.<br>
I got a Samsung Tab 2 10.1 prior to getting this, and I took it back. It is a very nice tablet that I have absolutely no use for.<br>

Yeah, battery life I can justify. Dell/Acer is stupid low battery. Yes<br>
the tablets are far less total mass to lug around as well.<br>
