In my humble opinion, I think the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the best tablet on the market. It is the only Android tablet that can truly rival the Apple iPad. And the 4G version is fantastic.

Some people like the Transformer. But I don't need a physical keyboard and I hate the idea to have to carry one. If I have to carry a tablet plus the keyboard, I might as well carry my laptop.

I don't know about the external display, but why? A tablet is really meant for you to stay connected while you are on the go.

If I want to play game, I prefer to get on my XBox instead. So I don't have a lot of games on my tablet except the following games that I love:
Robo Defense
Clouds & Sheep
PapiRubber
PapiJump
Defender
Words Free

Hope this helps.

One might want to plug the tablet into a projector for presentations. Many tablets do have HDMI video out, including the Galaxy Tab 10.1. One might be a travelling sales executive who needs to make Powerpoint presentations, but doesn't really want to be carrying a tablet and a laptop around. Tablets are indeed great for being connected when on the go. I know a few teachers who use iPads instead of laptops for classroom presentations, and they often use a projector with them.

Take a look at the Asus Transformer Prime. It's the first quad-core tablet and have the keyboard dock as an option. Every review I have seen on this tablet has been positive.
