Most of those are not even direct competitors. Have you heard of the ASUS vivotab? I think im probably gonna get that...but then there's also the Samsung Ativ Smart and the HP envy x2.

If you consider only Win RT as a direct copetitor, I guess. But I disagree... Windows 8 is trying to be all things to all people so all these devices compete with each other.

I wrote a thread on my distaste on Windows RT the other day (need backwards compatibility). Other than Surface which is quite attractive due to amazing hardware, I find all the other RT devices very unappealing. They just seem like Android tablets with Windows 8 on them.

All those devices I mentioned are full blown Windows 8 devices. There is a an RT version for the Vivotab, but thats not the one i want.
