So no one want´s to help?

Honestly you would be better off getting an ultrabook rather than a tablet, most tablet keyboards arent great and none of the ones that run windows pro have horrible battery life that I know of but I could be wrong. why do you specifically want a tablet ?

Thanks for the respons :)

I currently have a laptop, which is to big to carry around with me. A ultrabook would be good, because of the light weight, thickness and battery life but sometimes when I want to surf, watch a movie or play a game from microsoft store (that will get bigger). Then I don´t need a freaking keyboard and that´s the main reasons why I don´t want a ultrabook. A hybrid is better but they are often out of my price range.

Maybe I should wait on the next generation processors which are more powerfull and don´t drains the battery, the next version of tablets?

And again thanks for a respons, and the question.

Maybe look for a cheaper ultrabook with an i3 or i5 and get a cheap tablet like the nexus 7?

REALLY GOOD OPTION
The price for nexus in sweden is about 300usd, and that would make the pc cost about 441usd to be equal to the Acer iconia tab w700 and at that pricerange I found four laptops which all was 15inch which is to big. When I looked into other then intel processors I found this device "Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 135 3359-62G NZV62MS"
And also my mother would go crazy if I had all these devices...:/

Saw one of these at Best Buy, looked pretty cool. Caught my attention for a while, which is hard to do nowadays.

Me and my brother and sister all pitched in to buy my mom the Asus Vivo tab the Xejn posted, and it's pretty cool. She's not very tech savy, so she hasn't done much with it, but from what I can tell it's pretty cool. I used it breifly and it's fast, I like the OS, and the screen is crisp and clear. The dock also works well and has a mouse pad, plus it's removable so if you don't want a keyboard al the time it's perfect.

Okay, nice information but i think the asus vivotab is too expensive for me. The vivotab has a atom processor and it´s more expensive then the acer. Isn´t it better to buy the acer iconia tab with i3 or the new Lenovo thinkpad 2 also with the atom processor but dosent cost as much. If you think the processor power is enough with the atom I might go with the lenovo thinkpad 2 http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/tablet/thinkpad/thinkpad-tablet-2/

californiachris, what is the heaviest program it can handle?

Sorry if my english is bad, im from Sweden.

I didn't see the prices on any of those tablets, but I've had the laptop version of this before; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834127832 .

So I can sorta vouch for it I suppose. But I mean it seems like exactly what you're looking for besides it's probably a little past your price range.

I like the look of the Acer Iconia though, and they come with the keyboard dock which is pretty cool.

11

Well, the prices I see is Swedish kronor, and I was to tierd to convert them to usd. but her I go

Lenovo thinkpad 2 64gb 432,00usd

Lenovo thinkpad 2 32gb 355,00usd

Acer iconia tab  32gb      404,00usd

Sony vaio Svd11213CXB wasn´t avalibel in Sweden but by newsegg 1.199

Asus Vivotab TF810C 64gb  493,00usd

So the  Sony vaio is totally out of my price range :/ to bad but thanks :)

So, right now it seems like I´m going for the Lenovo Thinkpad tablet 2 (TPT2) 64gb. Not with 3g nor NFC tapping but with the Digitizerpen ofc. Any Thoughts

Seems like the 32gb version hade some child diseases issues but hopefully not the 64gb version.

Get a Lenovo X230/ X220/ X201 tablet. Or an HP 2740p/2760p/ TM2. Or a Toshiba M780

I had a hands-on of about an hour with one of the new business line tablets from HP the ElitePad 900 that was shown at CES. It runs a standard version of Windows 8 and it was a very smooth and solid experience as well that it has a great build quality. If you haven't set your mind on a device yet I suggest to check this one out as well, it seems to fit your budget.

Here is a rather in depth article on the tablet: link

well wether you are getting an ultrabook or tablet intel JUST released a 7w x86 CPU for tablets and in a few months they'll release one that is twice as powerful and use the same ammount of power

I JUST ORDERD THE LENOVO THINKPAD TABLET 2!!!

17

All I can say is, that it has poor performance. For some reason its lagging when playing 1080p on youtube and other sites. Sometimes its lagging when I do stuff that dosent need a lot of performance. And it didn't have the digitizer compability..... So if I can I really hope that I can change it in for a tablet that runs a intel core prossecor and not an Atom because they are still BAD!

I had the Sony Vaio Duo 11 and it was nothing short of amazing. One of the best screens I have ever seen (I had a macbook retina), fast, and unequal build quality. They're made in Japan and it feels like a japanese machine gun when you snap the screen back to reveal the keyboard. Amazing.
