There's no longer a tablet/laptop divide in the general case. Many tablets are convertables and many not convertables are only "non convertable" in the sense that they are screwed together not fitted with funky connectors. There are also a host of reasons (tried making a high speed bus go round a hinge ?) that this is going to become more common. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
