Actually the one thing I liked about the RT was the game performance, it did better than the Atom based TPT2 does. Man I miss Zombie killing. I think I might order in a PC in parts today and get started building a W8 gaming box. I just can't decide on Mini ITX or Micro ATX.
The Tegra 4 looks promising except that I am affraid that by the time we see one it won't be so fresh. I dont expect that the SP will spawn any clones or copies and that is really when you know you have raised the bar. Ultra-Books, indeed even the units I have selected over the past few months from Asus, almost ALL SCREAM PLEASE GOD LET ME LOOK AND FEEL AS MUCH LIKE THE MAC BOOK AS IS HUMANLY POSSIBLE... Thats fine, I love the design, just hate the ecosystem and all that jazz. By the way, the two units I have recently purchased boot windows 8 in 7, yes you read that right Seven / 7 (Ironic I know, but the truth none-the-less) seconds from button to lock screen, and less time to a usable state / metro or desktop. I never use the sleep feature as I simply dont find the boot time any issue at all. Well aside from the unit sleeping due to power settings. But I just dont use sleep the way I once did when my Inspiron 15 took fourteen minutes (exaggeration I know) but it sure used to feel like 15 minutes.
I wanted to like both the RT and PRO and just couldn't. The issues and problems outweighed the benefits. The Cons > Pros. When that happens all you can do is count yourself fortunate that the company took the device back. I want to see a great windows tablet. I want to MS make one. 8 is light enough on its feet for the hardware of today that making a great Windows tablet now seems more likely than ever. Will they be able to move past the Ballmer stagnation? Will they pull their collective heads out of their asses and get on to making the tough choices with Windows 8 that the public is demanding and marry those changes to awesome, well designed hardware?! Will underdog save Pretty Penny? Well you get my drift...Not very long into this discussion the feeling that you have entered a fantasy world takes hold, doesn't it? Russ accused me of having fantasies about destroying my Surface and yea should a device make you feel that way?
