Which upcoming Windows 8.1 (non-Surface 2) are you looking forward to?

I am curious if any of you technies know which Logos 5+, Windows-compatible, less-expensive, newly refreshed, longer lasting battery, small footprint is soon out that will run our favorite Bible software (Logos) well, sharply, and inexpensively - not just as an e-reader - with with full functionality.

With the HOLY-days coming and black Friday sales, etc...I was hoping someone might use this string to keep us all informed. I have high hopes for a couple of Dell machines but so far price is still too high.

I recently began using the new Samsung ATIV book 9 Plus, and have been impressed with how fast it is running Logos5.

The laptop is the highest res laptop on the market: 3600x1800, I think. In practice, I have had to crank the res down because I can't read the highlights.

Unfortunately it only sells with a 128gb drive; I filled that up in 3 days of use. I'm waiting for a 480gb drive to come.

While my laptop shipped with win8, it will get the free upgrade to win8.1.

P.s. the Logos Modern app will not open most bibles, but the desktop version works as expected in win8.

Thanks Ward.

I am thinking the Dell XPS 12 convertible is probably my best bet. It has plenty of horsepower to run Logos 5,and anything else I run. Its design is very well thought out. It makes a good tablet, but the key board is readily available if needed. The XPS would not weigh a hair more than my iPad in its leather case which includes a not very useful Bluetooth keyboard. And the keyboard on the XPS gets good reviews.

In tablet mode, I believe I would be as comfortable reading from the XPS 12 as from my iPad. The value of my Logos personal books would skyrocket. I believe the XPS 12 is my next computer purchase. It is the only tablet I know that could really replace my laptop, because it still has a laptop available by just flipping the lid. And I need a real keyboard to write sermons, lessons, etc.
