But you're assuming that you CAN'T run Office on an 8" screen. No doubt it will depend what you are trying to do and different people will have different requirements, but for me it works great. Not sure I'd want to spend 8 hours trying to use it, but it works for me based on carrying size and instant on factor. Also since it's running FULL Windows 8 (actually I put 8.1 on it) you have "full" functionality including macros ("full" in this case means all the functions I use. I assume it would run everything, but haven't tested all functions). Little things like being able to use data filtering, drop down selection boxes etc make it so much easier than fighting with any of the Android versions I tried that couldn't do it all. A Win 8 tablet is great too because now you don't have to scrounge around to find a app that does what you have a Windows program for.
Having said that, I would be seriously tempted to upgrade the W3 if they come out with a decent screen in Sept as rumoured because the current screen isn't great (marginally acceptable might describe it). Battery life is remarkable though.
