And you get Windows 8.1 (not the Pro version). If you need Windows 8.1 Pro, that will cost you $99 more. And most people will find the 32GB SSD to be too small. http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Venue-Pro...ews/B00FEE7B1I -- Bill Dell Latitude Slate Tablet 128GB SSD ('12 era) - Thunderbird v12 Intel Atom Z670 1.5GHz - 2GB RAM - Windows 8 Pro |

Don't get for the stylus, though, if that is a major motivation for you. I sent my stylus back, and there are massive complaints of defective ones. It sometimes gets ticklish to work on the desktop with a screen this small, but it is not a problem I run into often. The tablet is sturdily built, and I use an external keyboard with mine for word processing. Not a laptop replacement, but works in a pinch on the road. |

That is strange to hear about the stylus problems with this tablet. Maybe you should have kept it anyway since it sounds like nobody can find one in the US anymore. And I used many Windows tablets and stylus problems are like unheard of. Anyway without a stylus, you might be interested in a program like this: TouchMousePointer http://www.lovesummertrue.com/touchmousepointer/en-us/ I have two of these Dell Latitude ST and they originally came with Windows 7 Pro. Although this one I upgraded to Windows 8. But the one with Windows 7 still on it actually has a TouchMousePointer like feature in the N-trig configuration. Although under Windows 8, that feature disappeared as well as some other features like turning off either touch or stylus. Turning off touch and using the stylus only is nice to use the pen and to rest your hand on the screen like you do with a pen and paper. -- Bill Dell Latitude Slate Tablet 128GB SSD ('12 era) - Thunderbird v12 Intel Atom Z670 1.5GHz - 2GB RAM - Windows 8 Pro |
