For coding on the move, I'd have thought a Macbook Air or ultrabook would be a better compromise of performance/usability/portability personally - have you tried any of them out?

I have a feeling this will be the start of the end for Microsoft. Too little to late has never been a more appropriate phrase for Microsoft and the mobile/tablet market. Apple and Google had sewn up the market long ago and this abortive effort by the behemoth can only be seen as a desperate last effort after their failings with the Kin (ha), the Zune (ha ha), Windows 7 mobile (ha ha ha). The sales figures will be released shorty and the jettisoning of the top man a few weeks ago is a hint that those figures will be pathetically low. The iPad mini and the Nexus on the other hand will become ubiquitous (christmas gifts), and herald a new dawn in personal computing.Comment

It's certainly interesting times. Of course for us software engineers, having several different incompatible platforms just means more work and money for us.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
