Looking for a Windows tablet that can run MS Office and Windows Store games

[undulose]

I want to buy a tablet which can launch Windows Store games and Microsoft Office apps at the minimum. So there, I want something useable as a tablet (not very wieldy and handy) but can be used like a laptop when work is needed to be done. Use of x86 games and Lightroom would be a welcome bonus.

I am currently leaning between Lenovo Miix 2 11.6-inch with Intel i5, 8 GB RAM and 128 SSD or Microsoft Surface 3 with 4 GB RAM, 128 GB eMMc and Type Cover. Both of them are almost similarly priced in our country.

Before them, I preferred the Cube i7 Stylus but it is not available locally in our country.

Do you have any other suggestions? :unhappysweat:

I just got a Dell XPS 12. Sweet little machine, though pricey.

You can't go wrong with either machine

Did yyou make a decision on a tablet? I've been looking at the Cube iWork 10 Flagship. Intel is sponsoring a sale with gearbest.com

Yeap bro. This post was ages ago already. I wanted to buy the Cube i7 stylus but due to unavailability in our country, I sticked with the S3. Currently typing this post with it.

I've played with a few, and they're a great piece of tech. How's it been treating you?

Very good, actually. Can't say anything negative about the Surface 3 except for the very buggy Windows 10. Windows 8.1 was certainly the better option in using it

I agree with your statement about Windows 10 on the Surface 3, have you tried doing a fresh install of Windows 10?

Heartily concur with the "fresh install" advice. My Surface 3 Windows 10 experience was less than good before reinstalling. Afterwords it works quite well.

I guess I will third that fresh install. At first it was laggy and just kept messing up. But after the fresh install of 10, I have had no problems.
