Sean Buckley, writing for Gizmodo:

It started as an offhand brag, but turned into a dare. I was telling my Gizmodo colleagues why I loved my Windows 8 tablet: it’s fast, it’s cheap, it’s a fully fledged PC. Hell, I said, I could probably hook it up to a monitor and use it as my workhorse for a week.

Now I’m doing just that. It’s not as bad as you’d think.

There’s no reason why this wouldn’t work, even though it’s no Surface, but still an interesting read for tablet curious people.
