But on a day to day basis having the Office licence bundled with RT is a real plus - you guys probably get it for free but don't underestimate it's value. 

Also the smallest and lightest Windows Machines are still RT based (although Intel is pretty close and has the advantage of legacy compatibility of course)

 

I have the ASUS RT device - the one that is also a laptop/detachable Screen - its a very nice device to use and I usually reach for it in preference to the ME400.

 

Note to self:  You have way too many tablet devices at the moment

In short: You're buying a real-life telescreen! (Telescreens are the television sets in "1984", they act as display devices but they also work as surveillance cameras, monitoring the room they are in and sending the stream to the powers that be)

Hope they develop some kind of 'Grannie's fallen' alert while they are at it.

(Personally would like to see a similar device at the $299/£199 price point).
