In fact, that is one of , if not the most important reason why the original TabletPC was a flop. I don't see any rationale in (current-gen) embedded X86 if you want linux on it, either, but that's just me (ARM is cheaper, is far more power efficient, allows always-on, and, with A9-MPcores, *at least* on par performance-wise).
