1320063 2012-12-24 04:22:00 What are the prices of each? I would likely go for the cheaper one just due to my simple uses and they are all Win8 touchscreens. Are they all without keyboards too?

Oh if I wasn't gonna build my own desktop. Won't be suitable for me cos I do photography on it .. Generally speaking a cheaper one with an optional snap on keyb.

1320064 2012-12-24 04:30:00 Spectre is nice, as it the Surface although surface isn't to hot for me because of it's limited support and high price point in NZ. If I was in the US though I'd go for it. The lenovo yoga is also right up there in my top 3 since it very nicely performs as a laptop and a tablet where as the surface is really primarily a tablet and the Spectre a Notebook.

1320065 2012-12-24 05:05:00 Where's the "other" option?

I would, not that I have any intention of getting any of the above, get an Ipad, Nexus or ASUS laptop.

1320066 2012-12-24 05:09:00 Nexus 7 or 10, depending on budget / needs ;-)

Been playing with the Nexus 10 I imported for my brother, daaaaaaaamn they're nice tablets! Makes my N7 feel small :p
