Hi all,

I currently have a desktop, laptop and iPad 1. The desktop is my primary computer; however, I am looking into replacing my laptop/iPad. I would prefer to be able to run programs such as Photoshop and also android related progams such as apk-tool etc. I would love to do theming on the go. 3G/4G is not too important as I can use my phone as a hotspot if I'm out of wifi range.

I want to know what you all think about the current ultrabooks and tablets that are out. Please give some reasoning too :)

I am looking into getting the Surface Pro when it comes out as I have read it will have full Windows 8 which means I should be able use Photoshop on it. Since it has a USB input, I can also have my keyboard and mouse when using it. Yes, the price is high considering it has a 64GB or 128GB harddrive, but it does have a SD slot which can expand storage.

Is there anything else out there that you would recommend instead of the Surface Pro? If you were looking for a laptop/tablet replacement, what would you get?

I appreciate your input!

Thanks guys. I wasn't too aware of the Asus tablets, especially the B121. I will research more into it and see how it will compare with the Surface Pro.

Asus always seems to run good for me. Not sure of others thoughts about them. Hopefully you find something that fits you well.
