Dave, I also need a touchscreen. That is my main problem. Laptops don't have touchscreen, and if it does, it's very hard to operate since you can't flip the screen (I was interested in such models until I saw I can't operate them right).

Yes, and it's running fine with no problems on my current tablet. But as I said I need an upgrade. I am running all of my apps and still have absolutely no problem.
Win8 have a fantastic resource management system.
Here is the proof.
I even compared it to a friend with 6GB (4gb available because we need 32bit version) and it was absolutely no difference in the way the OS was running. The only problem is that I can't run games and he can, and trust me, I ain't no gamer.

Yes, they are nice, slim but I will have to sell my kidneys to get one of those. What I saw was something similar, in a local store. A little more bulky and a little more cheap (around 600$). It came with Win8 preinstalled so it was pretty much what I needed.
How much was your Surface. Who is the actual producer of the hardware?

$600 sounds ok, just make sure it comes with windows Pro, not RT.
Don't know the price exactly, got it from my employer but I guess the price is around $800 is US. It's Microsoft that is the producer, but I don't know who they hired to do the actual job.

I don't think so, as Microsoft locked up the bootloaders on all their mobile devices. Previous MS Surface users just managed to break the registry on the tablets, they didn't quite find a way yet to install other OS than the Win8 on it.

Double the battery life (increase weight, thickness, whatever) and I'd buy it.
