That's what Apple is betting on - many people don't want a "proper machine" whatever that means. People want to read email, visit some web sites, play a few games, etc. They are not necessarily looking for a computer or a "proper machine." Somehow people like seem to think that everyone wants/needs a "proper machine" which in every other failed 'tablet computer' meant building a *computer* with a full computer OS. This isn't intended to be a full computer so try and catch up and understand what it's intended purpose is.
