I have an Acer W4 tablet and I really need to stop reading this thread now before I get tempted to "upgrade" to the slightly larger screen  . The only limitation I've run into is it can't run MS Access database (not sure if that's a CPU issue or RAM issue), but I can live with that.
EDIT: oh, and speaking as someone who hates most things touchscreen, it's amazing how easy/well it works to move/open/enter stuff is just with a finger on the touchscreen. |
Well, for that matter you can hook up a USB KEYBOARD and mouse through the full size USB 3 port. And the Mini Display port can support a second screen on a monitor. With the multiple desktops feature that would come in handy.
