Which windows tablet hybrid should I consider?
« on: December 04, 2013, 11:36:15 PM »
Asides from the surface.  Something like this http://www8.hp.com/us/en/ads/detachables/products.html
where the screen can detach from the keyboard. 

Thanks

Yes.  Would like to stay under $600.  The Nokia is the Lumia 2520?

Yes. But there are a bunch of options out there.

Can you recommend maybe 3?  What if my budget was under $500, does that narrow it much?

Thanks

I know a few people who have the transformer and enjoy it. You get what you pay for.

Is there a way to get Chrome on Windows RT?   Just got a Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 11. I'm thinking I don't really enjoy this RT business.
