EDIT: see below, Dell just updated the computer to Haswell and improved the video card (June 2013)
----------------
I loved my apple products from 2006 until about 2010ish.
2006 MBP, Iphones 2g, 3gs
But after Android Nexus S (and now nexus 4), I started getting disenchanting with Apple.
Then Microsoft Surface RT dropped and I love it. So much so that I'm debating getting a All-in-one for the living room that has touch screen. Any limitation with Windows RT can be solved with Team Viewer and tunneling back to your home PC to run something you can't run on an ARM device.
Thinking the fully loaded one. 16 gb ram etc

I'm on the edge...
Please give me your opinion on this device. I will likely still buy a MacBook Pro when Haswell drops (if no USB 3.0 bugs) and MacBook air when ULV haswell comes out.
I need to always have windows around for medical software; however citrix may make this less of an issue in the future.
I was thinking a touch screen windows 8 device would be fun for entertaining. A living room piece.
