Asus' Transformer Book T100

From the benchmarks I have seen [1] it performs pretty similarly to it's ARM competitors. [1] http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Processors/Intel-Atom-Z3000-Ser...

But it runs Windows 8.1, not RT. That's a major plus.

The netbook of 6 years ago had an ethernet port and ran Linux out of the box. Feature parity has not been achieved by later models, if this is reimagining things they're imagining with a case of Alzheimer's.

I want this with a MS Surface design. I don't mind paying 200 dollars more. It would then match the iPad in terms design and surpass it in practicality.

Gee, I wonder why a notebook that's like an eight of an inch thick doesn't have an ethernet port. Well, it's probably because they are too stupid to remember 6 years ago... I mean, what else could it be?

6 years later I hardly ever plug in my laptop - its wifi all the way. No ARM based tablets that I know of have an ethernet port, and I don't see anyone complaining about it.

Where does the article say anything about Windows RT?

Yeah - OP, change your title to the one provided in the article.

How can I edit it?

To clarify the reason I mentioned RT in the title is that since decent Windows 8.1 Pro tablets can be priced so low, I believe there is no room for RT.
