To be honest I will just be installing this on my main PC when it's released, not going to bother trying to get hold of a tablet for it. Until we get our hands on the ARM version (with a decent amount of driver support) there is little point imo - there are plenty of good enhancements out there for desktop users, and the Metro UI is rather ugly anyway imo.

If they were to release the ARM version though I would gladly try and get it onto a tablet - although the odds of it running on my playbook or touchpad are low, due to driver support (spec wise they both exceed the recommended specs).

If really keen on trying out the new features, it's worth getting a touch screen monitor - they are not that expensive these days (£100-£200) so its a cheap way to try it out without having to drop £1k on an x86 tablet.
