Personally speaking, the current Xoom functions as a laptop replacement and more but it all depends on what you expect to do with it. You've heard from at least one person who disagrees with me, but many more would agree. It's an amazing piece of hardware and will only become more functional as more apps and customizations are created for it.
Any scripts to get an external drive connected because 32GB wont cut it. I have lots of movies.
Rooted and running the newest Tiamat Rom, I can use my usbOTG cable to connect to my 750GB usb3 WD Passport and watch my ripped DVDs.
Couldn't agree more. I have the latest Team Tiamat Moray ROM on here with Bazar617's StockRed UI, and with the current crop of apps, I believe I am getting value far beyond my original expectations. The development community that is behind the Xoom is going to make this worthwhile for a long time.
Xoom 2 won't be a laptop replacement either, Android tablets will never replace a windows laptop, especially not what i use my laptop for. I download all my music in .flac then convert them to mp3, try doing that on a android tablet!
It's unrealistic to expect any tablet to suitably be your only computer. I have my high-powered desktop to do all that downloading, ripping, file conversion, storage for streaming, and for adb, etc...My Xoom goes everywhere with me, something I wouldn't do with a laptop. My desktop and Xoom make a perfect team and I'm mobile as can be.
