Kev - Acer has stepped out of the tablet game altogether and Toshiba has discontinued its M7 tablet so the only tablets your going to find with a dedicated card are old/discontinued models :P
"People have seperate laptops and desktops for a reason. Do you really need to be playing Quake 4 on a tablet?"
No, but something with a bit more grunt would be useful when running 3d apps such as Z Brush - I dont see why a dedicated card couldnt be installed, its simply a case of giving the user the option to lower the performance of the card to save power/set up different profiles depending on the app being used.

They exist, you nincompoop. The Acer C314 tablet had a GeForce 6200 go in it, and previous Toshiba models did too.
Adding graphics cards means adding more weight, both by the card and by redesigning. Unless the thing has a larger frame, it's not happening.
