I have an 8" Windows 8.1 device running an Intel Atom CPU. I love it, it's probably my favourite PC to date.
I can be at the office editing a document on my keyboard/mouse laptop, save it to skydrive, and it's already there on my 8" for review later. Quick edits on the go are a breeze, since I have the identical MS Office software running in both machines.
I can review documentation in a git repository by actually installing git for Windows and cloning the repository. Now I'm not saying I'm going to actually code on an 8" Atom device, far from it. But the fact that I can participate, using the exact same tooling in the exact same manner, as is fitting for the device, is brilliant.
The only difference is I use 90% Metro Apps on the 8", and 90% desktop apps on the laptop. It's the plumbing that's one size fits all, and once in a while you cross the boundaries of the UI and it works well enough. You're not giving anything up. You have it all.
One size fits all is great, I'm a fan.
