Well, it's a stretch for me to consider iOS as a usable laptop OS, so I guess we're both stretching. :P

But to play the devil's advocate, how is it not sufficiently laptop-ish for you? Because the keyboard is detachable? Because it has a touchscreen?

I think it will morph into a usable laptop OS as Apple pushes it into that direction.

Lack of a mouse equivalent. Having to move your hands off the keyboard to do anything other than type is a pain in the ass.
