Masterpiece:
To me, needing 2 GB of RAM on a MOBILE OPERATING SYSTEM calls of bad resource management.

Aaaaand that's BS. This separation of "Mobile" vs "desktop" OSes is a load of crap. Sure, there are lighter weight and heavier OSes, but we've well moved past the separation of "mobile" and "desktop" 

Sure, Android is a bit lighter weight than, say, OSX, but lightweight OSes are becoming so powerful that they're able to do everything 80% of the population needs.

When you get gramma an ipad, are you going to say that's not a computer? If course it is. In fact, it's more of a personal computer that a desktop.

The defining line between "mobile" and "desktop" OSes that some people still cling to is ARM vs x86. But android, ChromeOS, and yes, even windows have broken down that barrier.

So you're going to call me out for how much ram my PC-in-my-pocket has?

That's just silly.

This is truer the bigger your screen goes as well, because you can do so much more. Split Screen multitasking, floating windows, ect. Dare I say TouchWiz Nature is a more powerful android distro than Windows RT.

Also, with the crazy screens "Mobile devices" are getting, it is important to have great specs. The new standard for phones and tablets is 1080p. The Nexus 10 has a nearly 2K Screen.  :psyduck:

Method of Madness:
Honestly, I may just keep my S3 and get a Nexus 10 next summer to use as my primary computer when I'm not home. (I'd use a bluetooth keyboard to take notes when I start school)
