Moose, I have hands-on experience with the MS Surface Pro and I can recommend it. However there are other very nice Windows tablets coming or here from Lenovo (Yoga), Asus, Acer, Dell and more. Simply google 'Windows tablets'

Be aware, there is a new low-power, higher performance Intel chip just now hitting supply streams, formerly named 'Haswell' and now a variation of the Intel i3, i5, i7 series. If you can hold out over the next few months, you will begin to see ads and reviews for Windows tablets with these new chips from a variety of vendors, and also from Microsoft for a Surface Mark II. Then again, you can always wait for something better - you just have to decide when to jump on board with what's current ...

If you want to know anything more specific about the Surface Pro as regards RDSS (or any other Windows software) just shout. I am attempting an experiment where it becomes my primary computer, including multiple external monitors, mouse keyboard, disk storage extension, encryption, etc. We'll see how it goes. I have (fever) dreams of perhaps reducing my entire office to a tablet, cell phone and travel bag. Today Huntsville, tomorrow Tahiti

Ted
