In Reply to: Look at the price of ASUS T-100TA in question, with full-blown Windows. posted by carcass93 on July 21, 2014 at 18:46:17:
I'm using a Surface pro 2, which is a really sweet and speedy thing and runs full Win 8.1, not RT. RT's ecosystem is way too limited for work (better use full Windows) or for play (get something Android or iOS). Other than something like the Asus mentioned above, there are quite a few choices that run full Windows 8.1. There are also 8-inch ones if you prefer smaller and cheaper. Lately, there have been some little tablets launched with Windows 8.1 with Bing (apparently a nearly costless version to drive prices down) that can cost as little as about US$200 (I have seen one that runs the latest cheap atom chip and has both Android and Windows built in). At the other end, if you want speed (i5, i7 with lots of ram), full HD and full size ports and don't mind a little more weight, there are things like Surface Pro 2 & 3 and Sony tab 11.
