I love it (the pen/stylus).
As advertised: When you approach the screen with the tip of the stylus (or is it a pen? What's the difference?) = ca. 1cm distance, the finger touch gets de-activated.
Meaning: When using the pen/stylus, you don't have to worry about your palm.
I have to test handwriting, but it already had been working great on Windows XP.
It's obviously way heavier than Asus VivoTab Smart. Quite impressive, how light Asus could make their unit.
In direct comparison, of course I very much prefer Dell Latitude 10 over Asus VivoTab Smart. No surprises there, for twice the price you should expect that.
I still will have use for Asus VivoTab Smart: It's one of my lightest (feeling) tablets. It will make for a great travel companion.
But Dell Latitude 10 certainly is way more stylish and way more fun to just hold it in your hands. Not quite Surface RT style, but close enough.

But again: Kudos to Microsoft. The more Windows 8 tablets I see, the more I come to admire Surface RT. And same probably is true for Surface Pro. Very stylish, very elegant, very well thought out.
