You are right, no dock and no 3G...

What models with digitizer or stylus? Ativ Smart, Microsoft?

Dell, lenovo & asus have windows 8 tablet that comes with digitiser. I own Dell latitude 10 which does, and I also know that lenovo has almost similar model as dell. Asus by far has the highest spec, 11 inches screen size that comes with one too. Do look it up from the web.

I personally feel that digitiser is useful for small screen tablet like windows. Some window features do not designed with fat finger touches in general, unlike IOS etc.

Some good products but they are not well introduce in Malaysia, therefore, lack of product knowledge from the local dealer/reseller, accessories are extremely hard to find, for instance, screen protector and cases.

I agree with you about the digitizer, it's useful especially served the mouse over effect, drawing and photoshopping.

My dell latitude 10 has to order through authorised dealer (in PJ), they no longer sell it through the web. This model has docking station and pen which comes extra. I got all that, along with a soft case cover which works very well. No screen protector yet though.

Digitiser works great for kids who like to draw and writing recognition. Now windows 8 already has writing recognition for even chinese character too. So its good for overall usage at home. But for serious drawing and professional rendering, you will need bigger screen and i5 or i7 chip.

For me, best combo is latitude 10 or lenovo equivalent and pen.

I have selected Samsung ATIV Smart due to the popularity, S-Pen, 3G, docking keyboard, favorable samsung online and support centre (PJ), found-able accessories in major shopping complex...

I may acquire the i5 version if the new launching Intel Haswell doesn't hit the tab market, yet.

Its a good choice.

My initial choice on dell is based on initial plan to use it in the office, with digitiser for data entry by writing actually.

And the docking station of dell can automatically relay the screen to bigger LCD screen if I placed the tablet onto the docking station. Its good for office use. Docking station housed a network socket plus 3 USB, which can connect to additional full size keyboard and mouse. Mainly all those are suitable for office environment.

What is the spec and how much you pay for the whole set? Care to share the official link?

Does digitiser detachable or standalone?

Relay to bigger screen? do you mean it has an HDMI or display port on the dock?

It will be nice for the network socket and 3 x USB, I believe it will be USB 2 if your tablet is running on Intel Atom.

I got mine from Computernetworks.com.my, they are official dell supplier in PJ. Just need to email them for details.

Price is RM2100 for dell tablet with Win 8 I think single language.

After adding

1. Upgrade to win 8 Pro
2. Digitiser stylus (dell brand= RM180 each)
3. Docking station

Total was RM2850.

Pls compare it with lenovo options.

yes docking station has a HDMI video output. It will automatically turn on the LCD screen once you dock the tablet onto it. That docking station is heavy and steady indeed.

This is good, i5 8GB RAM 256SSD, could be very expensive.

Pricing aside, which win8 tablet has high spec and suitable for work, using software like adobe.
Preferably 1 with a separate keyboard dock.
Is there any good 1 on the market now, or wait later for a better/cheaper 1.
No rush though, just doing research now.

Adobe? If u mean Photoshop and u really wanna work effectively, look for Razer Edge Pro. Otherwise, I think there'd be at least some performance issue. If it is not a concern for u, then Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro. It's an acceptable option, but be mindful of the uncomfortable heat that it'd produce when using as tablet.

I heard Dell XPS 12 having good review
