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...

This is pure Windows running 8.1. It replaced an earlier Netbook eee device and does fine as a pc. My wife seldom if ever removes the keyboard module so it functions like the old netbook. I got it for $300 last year for her Christmas. If you pull the keyboard it works exactly like a Surface Pro and has a 10" screen. It came with Windows 8 and included Microsoft Doc/Excel/PowerPoint. Pretty good deal.
