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.
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.
Note: I'm using an 802.11ac router and a laptop with a Centrino 6300 chipset. I have the 5Ghz spectrum all to myself. For bulk transfers I get consistent speeds of close to 100Mbit.

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.

and includes a full version of Office 2013 + keyboard dock in the price.
I could not find where they discussed the Office 2013 license. From the article:
> On the software side, in addition to Windows 8.1 you get a pre-installed copy of Office 2013.
Which is to say Office 2013 is installed, but not necessarily licensed. It might be a trial.

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?
Consider the following tuples: (Apple, loved by all) (Apple, no Ethernet port) (Microsoft, not loved by many) (Microsoft, Ethernet port). Correlation is causation, right?
