Hey guys

I'm looking to get a Windows 8 tablet and I was wondering what the general consensus was?

I'm leaning towards a Dell Venue Pro 11 as the i5 version can be had very reasonable as a refurb. That said the Atom version may be fine just for media/browsing and office?

I've also heard rumours that the i3/i5 versions suffer from a few issues?

Alternatively there's the Lenovo Mix 3, the Linx or the Toshiba ones?

What would people suggest? I'd love a surface 3 but it's beyond my budge unless a used one turns up in the mm reasonably priced.

Any help much appreciated, thank you.
 
I'm leaning towards a Surface 3. I'm hoping now the Surface 4 has been announced there will be a few used ones in my price range.

Are the older surface tablets good? The Pro with full windows?
 
Thanks mate, that's really interesting. Not fussed on the gaming side of things. Unsure now whether to go Atom or i5.....hmmm

Is yours the 2gb or 4gb version?

Cheers guys thank you. It's set my mind on the Atom now.

As far as Atom based ones go what are peoples thoughts on the Lenovo Miix 3? Comes with a keyboard dock for similar money to the dell.
 
The dell updater is running but will do that next. Going to get office 365 on it too.

Is there a way to assign website a shortcut tile for the metro interface?
 
Well my initial joy has turned to frustration. Ran windows update which failed and I'm now stuck on a screen with the message "we couldn't complete the updates. Undoing changes. Don't turn off your computer". Been like that now for an hour and a half or so. Any ideas?

Edit now seems to have resolved itself. once again all is lovely

To be honest I love it. Much prefer it to my ipad. Trouble is it keeps hanging on one windows update - about 400+ mb in size. Others install fine. Driving me mad
