These "tablets" will either have enough battery that they will be a commercial failure because your arm will fall off trying to use it as a "tablet". Or it won't have a laptop sized battery, in which case it will be using a more advanced power management scheme than "suspend to ram" --- or it will be a commercial failure because no one likes using a tablet with a miniscule battery life.
