Actually the pen works. You will need a capacitive stylus. I got a jot pro and it works just fine.

At least you can add usb or microsd to get more storage. I’m not as concerned with that, I just don’t want to regret not being able to put my own programs on there. All depends on the app support Microsoft gets

If you only ever use a browser and MS Office on the desktop, you don’t need Intel. I, however, like the idea that I can have docks at home and at the office and turn my tablet into a desktop. I think it’s worth mentioning that the only browser you can use on RT (at least right now) is IE.

It’s pretty obvious to me that the Samsung has better frame rates in games, which is pretty sad seeing as it has an HD3000 on a 2nd gen Core i5 (and is a year old) as opposed to the Nvidia GPU.
It is impressive that Microsoft has created an OS that scales so brilliantly is the takeaway, though. In truth, Windows 8 could clearly run on a phone right now.

that is exactly how I use mine, it is great when you use it this way. Plus with word I can do all my legal paperwork on the go, or even with meeting with a client. Billable hours just went up!
