His laptop would break on one, maybe two of the falls that my phone experiences on a regular basis.

    Too much of rush to get them out to market.. They should have waited. RT is the limited model 148ppi is said one at best for this tablet. Quad-core like dual-core from Nvida on the tablet only runs at 1000MHz or roughly 250MHz x 4 = 1000MHz as the Dual-Core Tegra2 ran at 512MHz x 2 = 1000MHz .

    Pretty sure that MHz count is per-core, not total.
