It’s too expensive though, IMO


There are a lot of knockoff’s of the Pro.

I have a little Lenovo tablet that runs 8.1. It runs the full version of 8.1 and it will also run the RT version, you can switch back and forth on the fly.

When I first got it the apps were pretty pathetic, they are getting much better. It uses the Atom processor and will run a good ten hours if just reading but if I'm surfing the web or watching movies I'm down to about 7 hours. How much did I pay? $199.00 on sale at a big box electronic store. I have seen similar devices for just over $100.

I bought the Ipad original, it won't update and so many of my apps won't upgrade and nearly any new app requires a newer Ipad to run it on, so , I'm just stuck with an Ipad that doesn't know that it is outdated after just a few years after being born.

I thought the Ipad was cool when it came out except for I-Tunes. I don't need I-tunes or any other software to talk to my Lenovo 2 tablet, it is just easily seen on the network, shares work perfectly either way.

Say what you will about Windows-8.1 but I don't have a problem with it, especially on a tablet.

Can I get one with 12 cores, 6 27” (or bigger) screens, 96GB of RAM, 4 hard drives and 2 optical drives?

No?? Then it’s not even close to a desktop replacement.
