No. However, it may do everything -you- do on a laptop. It can view/edit/create Microsoft compatible documents, it can do email, browse the Internet, read books, take pictures and videos, and play games.



It can do things most laptops cannot. It typically has a GPS, compass, motion sensors, and (some) can get to the Internet through Cell Phone frequencies. Also, android tables are lighter and require less power than a laptop. The Vizio 8" tablet can be powered through a USB connection, like an MP3 player. You can slip the whole thing into a fanny-pack.



Most android tablets lack a physical keyboard, although the Asus eee Transformer has one, and the rest can usually take an external Bluetooth keyboard.



The only group of people really left out are the programmers. Programming must be done on Windows/Mac/Linux. Otherwise, an android tablet has no native ability to compile and run C++, Python, etc.

Hands down the best android tablet on the market right now. Ive been lucky enough to play with the Asus Transformer, Ipad 2 and the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 and i have to say the Galaxy 10.1 is my favorite. Its sleek, light, and the screen colors pop, There is a noticeable difference between the displays from the "Ipad 2 and Transformer" which both have an IPS screen and the "Samsung Galaxy 10.1" which has a PLS screen which is brighter and more vivid in my opinion. Android 3.1 is also very nice. Its nice having the option to customize the hell out of your tablet, unlike the Ipad 2. Highly recommend. I love it.
