I'd buy one were it cheap enough (it wouldn't be).
I don't see why its price structure be more than a laptop or
"smartphone". It should be less than a "smartphone" offering similar
compute capability.
The per unit manufacturing costs should be lower - fewer parts, fewer
assembly steps.
There would be less ongoing engineering costs - e.g. when 3G/4G becomes
obsolete.
Product lifetime should be longer.
