    Ahhh, thank you. So you're taking the RCA tablet back, eh? You said you're going to get a Surface Pro? I'm not familiar with that make or model. I know with television screens, I get mostly Insignia's or Vizio. They always seem to be much cheaper quality. I never run into a Panasonic or a Sony but that could just because no one buys them in this area.
    It's Microsoft's range of tablets. Surface 1 and 2 used Arm CPUs and ran a version of Windows called RT (garbage). Surface 3 used an Atom and ran 8.1.
    The Surface Pros all run Intel full fat x86 CPUs.

      So no 64-bit? Just 32-bit for all the Surface Pros?

              The RTs are locked down the Pros not so. A quick search will show its drivers not the bootloader that is holding various flavours back.
              They also powerful enough to run Linux in a VM.

                  that's kind of pointless, you need to have windows in the VM because you need to wall it in and keep it on a leash!

                    Exactly... and even then I hear it's gotten somewhat better.

                          Recommended. I bought a new 1th gen Surface Pro (i5/128GB) a couple of years ago, and it's the most versatile computing device I own. I own 3 Android tablets and 5 or 6 (mostly i5's) laptops from the top 5 manufacturers in addition. If I were forced to scale down to one device, it would be the Surface Pro.

                          If I were to knock it down somewhat, it would be for the Type Cover 2 keyboard. If I had used it more regularly at one desk, I would have used some other (bluetooth) keyboard. I'm also tempted to the later gen Surface Pro, for the better than full HD displays and support for 4K externally.

                            The day I posted the post saying I wasn't familiar with the Surface Pro, later that night I saw a commercial for one on the tele! I don't mean to hijack the thread here or anything but because it's related to the Surface Pro and we've been talking about it a bit, do you think that'd be a good Christmas present for my wife? She has a tablet that my dad gave her, some free gift that came with his cell phone (through Verizon). It's okay and everything but she uses it a lot!

                            Do they make any Surface Pro's that come with an i7, maybe socket 2011? Or would that be over kill and the i5 is more than enough?

                              A quick google search showed me the Surface Pro 4 does have an i7 option, but I don't see what socket it is. Back to googling some more!

                                  Okay. Do you know what chipset it uses (ie, x79?)

                                    The Surface Pro 4? Whatever is the newest, it came out a month ago.

                                          Has been a few years since this was posted. I have recently purchased a w101 v2 and am wondering if there has been any success getting the uefi to 64 bit? I would appreciate any help as I need to have 64 bit Windows on this ASAP. Thanks!
