    Surface could have been profitable IF......

If I launch G-mail and log in, it is nearly impossible to log out to switch accounts if I am using touch. Tapping in the upper right had corner does not show the "Log...

    I started out with the Asus Vivotab RT. It was nice and I loved the 7-8 hour battery life, but the thing was just slow. I spotted an Asus B121 on Ebay for under $200 (a steal) so I got it. It's a 12.1 inch Windows 7 tablet with Wacom pen, Gorilla Glass, 2 USB 3.0 ports, SD card slot. Bluetooth...
