I have the RT, it works great and fast, but these are my remarks:

- I should have bought PRO, it would have given me the option to install some VFP programs.
- Only annoying thing, it sometimes "hangs" at startup on portrait mode and the changing to landscape is not as responsive as an IPad. But it usually works bell, and mostly I use it in landscape mode anyway.
- The flat keyboard is more difficult to use than I expected, it's slow to type, and you easily miss letters. It's good for emergency situations, then it's a help that you have it. I think there are two kinds of keyboards, but next time I will get a Bluetooth keyboard for doing some serious work.
- I use a bluetooth mouse which is very nice when working on desktop mode.
- I plan it to take with me for travel, and to leave my regular notebook in the office. Then I connect with Teamviewer, use my Bluetooth mouse and Bluetooth keyboard and have my office right with me. Before I had to carry my heavy notebook and power supply, which was really annoying.
