Sure there is. There's no way in hell I'm going to reach out to poke at a

They're forcing tablet behavior in an environment that is decidedly
optimized for exactly NOT that kind of interface. Imagining myself scrunched in front of a 10"
tablet with my SpaceNavigator
and a mouse jacked into it make my head want to explode. :)
What about a 36" tablet? There is absolutely no reason why not.
For a 36" tablet to be practical to use on the desktop, it would have to
be oriented at the same height & angle as a keyboard. However, now that
this fancy display is also where the keyboard was, your CAD input devices
are now three feet apart!
And before you get going on how the screen could be used in place of those
devices, I'm going to stop you right now. If you've not spent a
considerable amount of time doing 3D modeling and CAD, you don't have the
experience to discuss more than speculatively on how it should be done.

To talk about doing full-scale big-screen layout
work on something the
size of an iPad is just egregiously stupid. If you're doing it in the
hopes of point-scoring in an argument, you just lost.
I was being sarcastic. When it comes to "winning" an argument on this
list...well let's just say my Box of Fucks was emptied a very long time
ago.
