questions on Tablets/Ultrabooks?

[Eric]

I would take a look at this link here http://asia.cnet.com/top-5-windows-8-con...219345.htm

Generally, any of those will be able to function like a normal computer because they in fact run the newest windows operating system: windows 8. Office will certainly function on it. There are two versions of the Surface, the RT and the Pro. The RT is cheaper and cannot run legacy Windows applications so basically anything that ran on windows 7 and before. The Pro is a full blown operating system that can do anything a regular laptop can. Anyway, majority of these are just laptops in different form factors, so it will do any task that you're used to doing on computers.
