How about Acer Iconia W4, just to connect to an Smart TV to browse a web and I saw on some reviews that it even detects 1 TB hard disk without power to play contents. Will this be a better idea in case you just want to use windows on your Smart TV as it has micro HDMI option and of course consumes less power and cheap to buy the wifi version.

Of course this does not belong to what thread is asking for, but still it can serve the most of the purpose.

Thanks.

pretty sure i mentioned those earlier and got shot down - the main weakness is short of the surface pro lineup they've all got really weak CPU's that cant handle HD video playback well.

They're a fanless touchscreen laptop, so double check the specs can handle what you're after.

MS Surface Pro 2.0! That's pretty much my dream tablet now.

Yes. these are good but very expensive here. May be after 1 year I will think about those.

What do you need touch screen for? Looking at the OP and how this thread as evolved, I'm confused.

as i said just a few posts again, look at the processor. its garbage.

This thread makes less and less sense over time. its like you dont know what you want.

@Mussels

I know what I want but honestly I feel that one should have all below things to be used at different occasions :

-Powerful Desktop machine which is also very close to Server configuration. I have
-High end Laptop Will order soon Dell 7737 i7 4th 17.3 FHD 2GB ,16GB RAM
-Low watts PC/HTPC like Intel NUC Waiting to come in stock
-Portable Windows Tab like Dell venue 8 Pro or Acer iconia W4 May be

Not really!
I already said that I am going to order Intel NUC i5 version to have less watts desktop PC once it becomes available to our usual site here as they only have till i3 version.

However I even I am aware that asking different questions in one thread may distract original topic subject but then again where and when should an individual clear his doubts about the particular things or stuff it can pop up any time while you search for the things you want.. I wrote about Notion -ink because someone above wrote about Microsoft Surface Pro 2 which I still don't think was irrelevant post.

So should an individual open new thread for Notion-ink in case he wants discuss about such stuff with experienced geeks like you all .. honestly this is what I always wondered about? :confused:

This thread is not waste. Intel NUC i5 version is the best option for that. :toast:

Thanks.
