Let me just say a few things. The 640m is capable of driving a resolution of 3840 x 2160. Having a high resolution is excellent, if you are complaining that games would run slowly on it, you are correct and in that case you can select a lower scaled resolution. When you are browsing the web or doing anything else, use the native resolution.

Many people seem to be saying more or less the same thing :
Regardless of how good a game looks on the iPad, you can't beat numbers. The point of this isn't trying to beat the iPad. That is so far from what Razor was trying to deliver here

I brought up the iPad for a few reasons, it has a much higher resolution vs this device and therefore has a harder time driving all those pixels. The 640m pushes way less pixels and consumes far more power. The end result is being able to play x86 games not designed for touchscreen on a heavy, thick device with 4.5 hour battery life that may be able to put out decent fps on older games but at a lower resolution. The iPad (4) on the other hand cannot play x86 games but yet ported/original games play very well. Worms, Doom, Duke Nukem 3d, Max Payne, Minecraft, Modern Combat 4, etc... all work perfectly on the iPad. If you are 'liking' this device because you can play WoW on the bus, maybe this is something a niche market could enjoy but I just can't see that happening.

When I'm at home and want to play something serious, I'm on my desktop with 22 or 27 inch monitors. If I'm lazing around on the couch, I have a tablet. When I'm on the go, I have my Phone. This device isn't a phone and isn't powerful enough to play the games I want to play like Bioshock Infinite. A 10 inch low resolution screen without mouse and keyboard doesn't have me chomping at the bit. For the price of this you could buy a tablet, a phone and a laptop and be in a far better place for 3 use-cases.
