The games are probably going to run at 10 FPS, even most PC's chug while running games beyond 1080p.

Well, it is better than Vita, way more resolution making Vita obsolete

Why wait, when this one is so much better than Vita already ?

iPad games have pretty primitive graphics. By PC standards we're talking about the level from 8 years ago, so a new mobile chip can easily run that.

I mean that the tablet is the evolution of the laptop.

Of course there are still pros for the laptop, such as gaming / bigger screen / real keyboard, but overall the tablet is the future "portable PC" if you will, imo.

And for the price of an iPad 3 you could get a pretty decent PC to play far better games at far better quality.

You just say crap before realising what it is you're actually saying. You are an idiot of the highest order.

For a guy who says PC gaming is too expensive you sure do seem willing to throw money at this before seeing anything on it. not to mention you will have to be the almighty 720 when it releases too. Where could you be getting all this new found cash? Phd job paying better now?

Looks ok. Bet it plays like utter sh!t though with almost no interactivity. Why would you pay such a huge price for such a bad gaming experience.

You are just saying all this against the Vita and have no intentions of getting an iPad 3.

The screen must look great with that high of a resolution. I wonder if now that since Apple calls 2045x1536 HD, if the general public will now decide that anything below that is low definition since Apple doesn't say so

Vita is 960*544 on a 5''screen I would expect tablets to have more res. on a 10". Being the screen is twice the size, sounds equal in terms of dots per inch.

89/100 in metacritic, can be that bad, considering it destroys games like Uncharted in gameplay, lenght and depth

Marketing term for display with enough pixel density that it's almost impossible to see individual pixels.

Screen resolution is total overkill as I expected. SD media, comics and old apps will look like turdburgers. Glad I have my ipad 2, its nicely balanced and still has amazing graphics with a formidable baterry life.

i think we are really going to start seeing a trend of using duel and quad GPU's in systems as it means less heat than an insanely overclocked gpu. just like how cpu's hit a ghz wall in 2004-2005 graphics cards will eventually hit that as well it hasn't happened yet though. around 2014 when nvidia releases Maxwell we might see the last great graphics cards before they move onto more cores as standard. has me thinking the rumor about Xbox 3 using duel gpu's might be true.
