Thanks, Bill. I was open towards Win8 tablets, but the more I read about them, the more it seems that they are not as user-friendly as Android or Apple tablets. Even the T100 has some worrying 2-star reviews on Amazon:

As for Chromebooks, I was sceptical initially, but the more I read about them the more interesting they seem. I think I’ll wait for the next generation though, as on the software and OS side it’s still not as mature as iOS.

For now I’m wavering between the forthcoming Nexus 10 (2) and iPad Air. The former will be hopefully cheaper (though, again, I wonder if Android has anything as sophisticated as Editorial on iOS), while with the latter I know what to expect, but at a hefty price…

As for the keyboard, Nimblestand with an Apple Wireless keyboard sound like the best set-up for fast typing (it would presumably work with either), though it doesn’t offer any protection. Oh, well, it looks like one can’t have it all…
