I'm not sure I understand why they need that ridiculous resolution. You'll need a car battery to power the processor that will fill those pixels if you want to run for a day. I wouldn't mind having a high 20's inch 4k screen for my pc though :nerd:

I was worried about the same when thinking about Nexus 10, but it's not an issue.

We don't need high resolution just for the sake of resolution. The point is that the text is more readable, and you can see more detail. Also, some tablets are extremely power-efficient when the image is not changing, so it's actually good for reading.

Still, 1cm thickness would make me scared of breaking it + 2.4kg is quite a lot for a tablet.

Man they really need to get a grip of batteries and battery life before they start pumping these crazy high resses out.

Battery life About 2 hours (when using built-in battery) lol, thats pizz poor.

Thats brand new, after a few month of usage the battery will only last maybe an hour.

Likely because it's a 20" screen and has a core i5 in it as opposed to most other tablets with a 10" screen.

i5 tablets have never been great on battery life.
