I have a Dell Duo. Lag isn't that bad depending on what you are used to and what you do. Scrolling is smooth 90 percent of the time in excel and IE. Yes, it is a atom, but it is a dual core atom. But yeah, the best choice is the EP121. The EP121 has these advantages over the Dell Duo. 1.)SDXC/MMC card slot 2.)lighter by 1 pound 3.)Wacom pen input 4.)CPU benchmarks about twice as fast 5.)potentially double the ram 6.)faster graphics performance 7.)HDMI for video out 8.)SSD is much quicker. I tested the EP121 at windows boot to desktop and it was 20 seconds. 9.)Reliability: the SSD will not fail because of vibration or g-forces. Hard Drive Failure is likely the #1 reason why mobile computers that have them fail. 10.)bigger screen 11.)comes with a folio case for propping it up in 3 different angles/orientations 12.)MVA screen on EP121 has much better viewing angles than the Duo screen. The Dell Duo has bad vertical viewing angles and ok horizontal viewing angles in my experiance. The problem is that in portrait(in tablet mode), your vertical viewing angles are your horizontal viewing angles and so it is hard to share with someone else in portrait 13.)thinner: .66 inch vs 1 inch 14.)larger screen:12.1 inch vs 10.1 inch 15.)physical buttons accessible in tablet mode like Ctrl-Alt-Delete/window switcher, volume rocker, virtual keyboard activator, etc 16.)strengthened glass called Gorilla Glass cons 1.)maybe about 20% less battery life(Asus quotes 3 hours and Dell quotes 4 hours). In my experience though. The Dell Duo gets around 3 hours but I might be abusing the slow processor a bit with what I do with it. them fail. 2.)No physical attached keyboard in convertible form factor 3.)Hard Drive is 64GB/32GB vs. 360GB on Dell Duo 4.)Price

Yep it does, and i did tried it out and let me tell you it is a superb laptop:) When i got it, it had Win 7 as OS the experience using a digitize pen is really awesome, although it doesn't work efficiently on the corners but about anything else it is great device. And my experience was better after i upgrade it to Win 8.1. Lenovo they really did a great job here, there is another draw back that it is a little heavy and you need to buy a docking station to have a dvd-rom and HDMI input.

Didn't mean laptop....should have been tablet. Sorry not sure but it works great with all the other smaller devices.

Hi Valeria, Chromebooks do not run on/have Windows OS. However, if you did install Windows OS, (please seek tech support for this), you would then be able to use the drawing tablet with the Chromebook. Thank you, Value Max

these do not include windows, if you want to run windows, buy a windows based notebook

Check with Displaylink, it would be good if they were working on it. I have the W8 tablet from Dell on order; should be possible to support RT but a driver will be required. Bill

yes, this is a laptop that does tablet things. Not a tablet trying to do laptop things. I love it...

When u set up the tablet it makes u make an acoint with windows online! Windows should be able to resend u a new password thing or help further. I would check the windows website.

No I haven't seen the need to do so. Windows 8 only gets me touch type stuff and I don't see the need in a non touch screen laptop.

Well this would be a 100% laptop replacement with no limitations. I have talked to a friend with android and he says that there are apps that you would have to pay for to be able to edit word and excel on android. Again not a for sure answer but maybe it helps. Now if you are tech savy and looking for speed seriuosly consider windows 8 if boot up speed is important to you. I think with windows 8, the keyboard and portability of this tablet you would not be disappointed. Now if you deside to get this and use windows 7 remember to do all the updates and give it a full day of running to get all the setup, scans, background processes out of the way to make it boot up fast and shed the bloatware as well.

no it's not :( but I've heard many say that the Windows 8 layout was designed with touch screen tablets in mind. too bad you can't.....actually....touch....the.....screen lol

Chromebooks have Chrome OS on them. They will not come preinstalled with Windows or any other operating system.

If you want a tablet that supports a thumb drive, you might want to look at Acer. I have an Iconia 500, and it has a full-sized usb port.

Photoshop is one of the many applications that the tablet will work with. No you do not. It can be used as a mouse to navigate windows and will give you the functionality of the pen.

Yes, this is a windows 8 tablet device. Once you lay the screen down on keyboard it acts as a tablet. I got the 500 GB spinner, but wish I would have gone for a SSD hard drive so performance would be better in tablet mode.

Asus vivo tab has RT version of windows 8. It will no run your prof tax soft. There some really good atom tablets that will run any program

this tablet runs a full windows 7 package, but i'm not completely sure it would have everything to run them right out of the box. you may have to add some additional hardware. be careful, i only kept mine for approx. 20 days; it kept "freezing up" on me. after i had returned it, i found other people that expreienced the same problems i had.
