The reason tablets appeal to me is that a large part of my time is spent on reading technical books and documents, and in those times I really want the keyboard to just go away. The Surface Pro 3 has the screen size I was dreaming about on a tablet and it seems like a tablet you can use for work, and not just for play. The one thing that disappointed me was 8GB upper bound on RAM. These things should really start at 8GB and go up to 16GB nowdays.
