About size you obviously can't do anything.
But re. weight, I'm again and again surprised, how light my Dell Latitude 10 is.
It's not as powerful as i5 units of course, but still surprisingly efficient.
I even could imagine myself, using it as a reader.

I think 10" is too large for my wants. 7" would be perfect, 8" would be fine too. And even on 10", I'd use an external keyboard (I even use an external keyboard on my laptop, which is 17" and that one has a full keyboard, including a separate numpad...)
I do have a few things a tablet would need, one of which is the ability to charge using micro-usb and a non-capacitive pen (i.e. a pen with an actual point...) In other words, I am looking for a comparable device to my HTC Flyer, except that it needs to run Windows instead of Android. It doesn't need to be ultra-powerful, I don't need it for my job (even 10" would be way too small for that, this 17" laptop I'm working on now is perfect...), but I want it for some light work, but mostly for reading and internet consuming. I could buy a decent Android tablet (I have looked at the Note 8, that one is the only one that has pen support), but after I got my Lumia 800 (recently replaced with a 920), I decided I prefer Windows over Android any day....
(I wouldn't discard a Windows RT tablet either, however, there are no 8" RT tablets available nor announced)
