"The idea of having a laptop with a detachable screen is good, but for now it's probably still not possible to stick the capabilities of a normal laptop into something that would pass as a handy tablet."
This use case is clearly part of the reason behind Microsoft's Windows 8 ARM strategy.
Within a year I will almost certainly own an x86-64 laptop with a detachable screen that happens to be an ARM based tablet that can run independently of the main system, so long as you're just using the Metro apps.
Apple could do the same with OS X/iOS, of course, though if they don't have an announcement for this on March 7th I wouldn't hold my breath for a while after that.
