Asus Transformer Prime Tablet

Has anyone had a good look/ purchased one of these quad core tablets? They look very good and sound excellent on paper.

What can they not do that a windows netbook can? I don't quite understand why 1 GB ram is plenty for Android whereas insufficient for a windows based system. Is this because Android and its apps are lightweight compared to Windows? Also the battery life is more than double that of a windows device.

Is this machine a sign of the future and the beginning of a decline in Windows dominance?

Basically I surf the internet, email, use youtube and write the occassional document. I don't use heavyweight programs and am curious whether a tablet similar to this could replace my laptop completely?

Thanks for your thoughts

Cheers
