The Lenovo tablet I have runs on an Intel Atom processor. Only 2GB ram, which I suspect causes quite a bit of data swapping to the 64GB SSD. In my opinion, Windows RT is a dead end unless you're talking about an industry vertical niche...like ATMs or processing hardware. I'd also offer that a

I agree with your verdict on Win 8, and I would say better than win 7 which, here, has menu problems (some items not appearing until mouse over) However I would say the biggest problem with Android is the product suppliers.
