I just read this article and while I agree that this is a great portable laptop replacement, I am curious about the various other Windows 8.1 Pro tablet devices out there. It seems like the focus is on the Microsoft devices and I haven’t seen (or missed) reviews and comments about other 8.1 Pro tablets. How do they stack up?

I’m a little puzzled. You say that the device supports Bluetooth but you then go on to talk (in more than one place) about plugging in a USB Bluetooth adaptor to use a Bluetooth mouse. Does the device support Bluetooth or not? If it does then you shouldn’t need to plug in an adaptor – just use the built-in Bluetooth transceiver for the mouse as I have done on my trusty ThinkPad X40 for many years. (I use the USB BT adaptor that came with the mouse to give my desktop Bluetooth capability.)
