Will there ever be such a thing or are fully functional tablets not popular enough?

Not in Apples future, however, if you saw the new Windows Surface demo recently, it might not be a bad choice.

It's what they built the iPad for, to keep people off their backs about a computer/tablet hybrid. Keep dreaming.

Considering that Apple explicitly pooh-poohed convertible tablets as the equivalent of bolting a toaster oven to a refrigerator, I suspect they'll hold off for another couple years at least. But I think that's where the market is going (note how both OSX Lion and Win 8 adopt tablet-style features), so eventually I think they'll come around. But not for a couple years at least.

oh yeah, probably not the near future...

There used to be a third party that made a mac that you owned into a tablet... I forget the name of the company though.

Modbook.. they are still in business, but I don't think they make any modbooks anymore.

They do sell a base for the Ipad that makes it something like a hybrid. Brydge Keyboard Dock Turns iPads into MacBook Airs $210 with speakers. Looks good, but your convertible is still just an Ipad.

Maybe sooner than we thought. Modbook teases a 'Pro' announcement on Facebook -- Engadget
