Thanks for the thoughts so far. Will check out the Pro and wine on android. Which Android Tablet has excellent performance per price point???

You can't actually run Windows applications on them, to my knowledge. But someone IS working on WINE for Android...

The Pro tablets with Intel Atom processors do run full Windows 8 Applications. I've got a few of them here at work, but haven't done a lot with loading apps and such beyond what we are testing. Windows 8 takes a bit to get used to.
