I have a few students using Surfaces. If you can stand Windows 8, they're pretty nice.

My recent experience is that Windows 8 is a very good touch-based operating system, and I don't just mean as a tablet OS. If you've only used it with a mouse I can understand your scepticism, but on a tablet or laptop with a touch screen (and maybe even touch-screen desktops) a lot of the weird things suddenly makes sense.

Surface Pros will run Ubuntu allegedly. Could make for a slick unit, although the cover keyboards don't look as good as a regular keyboard.

try the "type cover" keyboard. its not a regular keyboard but really thin and a nice balance.
