  It's not supposed to be a laptop. It's supposed to be a multimedia viewing
platform. You browse the internet, watch videos, play music, read books and
play games. A conventional laptop is often too hard to use for some people
(especially elderly) and a touch screen which you can use with your fingers
is much easier. These people wouldn't even understand what "usb" or
"multitasking" is, nor would they really have any need for them.

  If you want usb and multitasking, buy a laptop. You'll be able to run
Windows programs as well (or install linux or whatever you want).
