Interesting that the ones they chose all compare the tablet to laptops rather than tablets. It's cheaper than the competition and so much better it's confused for a laptop. It's like saying that your prius is a horrible car because it doesn't run like a ferrari. Of course SOME (hardly most, not even 50%) complain about stuff like that, but most reviews are optimistic and rave about how responsive and quick it is, including loading pages twice as fast as all pre-retina iPads and Galaxy products (and still beating the iPad 3/4 by a hefty margin).

Rather wait for the Intel CPUs. Tablet CPUs like ARM would be underpowered for what it's trying to accomplish, unless ARM develops something more powerful than just to run the iPad.
