"We heard you like tablets, so we took your tablet and made it a laptop so you can pretend it's a tablet while you're using Windows!"
- Read ebooks/pdfs - Browse the web - Work (a text editor and git)
Ideally I would also like to: - Download & watch videos/movies - Something to hook-up to my TV
There is nothing in the market that can do these things. I could get a Kindle for reading, an iPad for browsing the web, and an ultrabook for work. This device is something I would buy (assuming a reasonable price) but the one drawback I see is Windows. Maybe Windows nowadays is a lot better than before and maybe it'll give it a chance. It all depends on the pricing.
Yes, there is... if that's the complete set of things. The iPad can do this.
ebooks/pdfs, browsing, videos, TV hookup - all there and straightforward.
text editor and git (GitHub, in this case): http://worqshop.com/
there are also other editors that have SFTP and SSH programs.
I'm not saying you should replace your current computer with an iPad. I'm saying that based on the list you've given here you could.
The main reason I want to hook a device like that with my TV is so that I can download and watch movies (from torrents). AFAIK you cannot do that on the iPad. I'm I mistaken?
How does one watch the movies? (which app?)
(Genuine questions, I'm curious and don't have one)
Either that or you purchase the movie in iTunes on your iDumb device and watch it there.
