I've been looking into Windows tablets and I wanted to see what people like/dislike about theirs. I definitely want at least 64gb due to the size of the OS. I will also need a keyboard at times(either detachable or Bluetooth). 10" seems to be the best feeling size.

The units I've looked at so far are the Asus T100 (64gb+500gb in keyboard), HP omni, Asus vivotab, and Lenovo ThinkPad. Any recommendations or tips on upcoming releases?

I would just splurge on the Surface Pro 3 if I were you. 799 sand it runs full MS 8.

I was 'this' close to pulling the trigger on a preorder, but went with a refurbished MacBook Air instead.

Isn't that 13"? A little too big, plus I would have to purchase a keyboard for about $120. So I would basically double my budget.

HP Pavilion

I have a friend who loves his.

I have a Sony Vaio Duo 13, that thing is powerful and I love it. Just not in the $500 range.

That does look like a nice option. Do you know if it's loaded with Office? I like that it has the i5 processor

I don't believe so, there's a laptop version with the same specs that does have office though. I can find link later.
