I've seen one about a year ago.
I almost would have bought it.
But in the very last second I found out: The Windows processor is in the monitor/dock.
If you take it out of the dock, you exclusively have Android.
So Windows 8 only works when docked and you can't hold it as a tablet anymore.
I still was tempted.
But I actually would have preferred it the other way around: Windows 8 when mobile and Android at home sometimes. But I understand, Android of course would make less sense as a desktop device.

One of those units?
Your experience?
After the initial enthusiasm, I haven't seen much of those combos in the last 12 months anymore. Probably too expensive. The one I saw was, if I remember correctly, in the range of Surface Pro 3 = € 1.500. Probably well worth it, but most likely above the typical price range the market is willing to pay...
